The Mahindra Bolero is one of the most iconic and best-selling SUVs from the brand, known for its ruggedness and reliability. Traditionally, it has enjoyed massive popularity among rural buyers thanks to its tough build and go-anywhere ability. However, this could soon change, as Mahindra appears to be preparing the next-generation Bolero to appeal to a wider audience.
Over the last few months, multiple test mules of the upcoming Bolero have been spotted, creating quite a buzz. Most recently, yet another prototype was seen on Indian roads—this time looking more production-ready than ever. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what’s new.
Table of Contents
Exterior Design: A Bold Step Forward
Starting with the front fascia, the next-generation Mahindra Bolero is undergoing a major visual overhaul. The most noticeable change is the introduction of Thar ROXX-inspired circular LED headlamps with distinctive C-shaped LED DRLs. This marks the end of the Bolero’s signature rectangular headlight design, which has been a hallmark since its launch.
The new grille features six vertical slats with the Mahindra Twin Peaks logo proudly placed in the centre. Lower down, there’s a rectangular air intake on the bumper, and keen observers will spot an ADAS Level 2 sensor positioned centrally—just like in the Mahindra XUV700 and Thar ROXX.
The front design is bold, squared-off, and muscular—perfect for an SUV that’s always been about presence and practicality.
Side Profile & Rear Design
From the side, the new Bolero gets dual-tone, 10-spoke diamond-cut alloy wheels along with rugged, squared-off wheel arch claddings. The straight window line and a strong shoulder crease give it a robust stance. Practical elements like an integrated side step make it easier for passengers to enter and exit.
At the back, it stays true to its SUV roots with a tailgate-mounted spare wheel, modern LED taillights, and a chunky bumper fitted with reverse parking sensors—likely accompanied by a reverse camera for added convenience.
Interior & Features: A Big Leap in Comfort and Tech
Recent spy shots reveal a much more refined and modern interior compared to the current Bolero. The dashboard now features an XUV700-style multifunction steering wheel, a new digital-analogue instrument cluster, and redesigned buttons for a cleaner look.
While Mahindra hasn’t confirmed the complete feature list, expectations are high. Likely additions include:
- A large infotainment touchscreen
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Automatic climate control
- Multiple USB ports and charging points
On the safety front, the new Bolero is expected to pack:
- Six airbags
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Rearview camera
- Speed alerts
- ABS with EBD
- Traction Control System
Mahindra Bolero FAQ
1. When will the new Mahindra Bolero launch?
Mahindra hasn’t officially announced a launch date yet, but given the advanced stage of testing, it’s expected to debut in early-to-mid 2026.
2. Will the new Bolero be more expensive than the current model?
Yes, due to the upgraded design, added technology, and enhanced safety features, the price is likely to go up. However, Mahindra will aim to keep it competitive in the segment.
3. Will the new Bolero still be as rugged as before?
Absolutely. While the new design makes it more appealing to urban buyers, Mahindra is expected to retain the tough build and off-road ability that the Bolero is famous for.
4. Will there be a 4×4 version?
Although Mahindra hasn’t confirmed, there’s a possibility of a 4×4 variant or at least a more capable drivetrain option, especially considering the SUV’s rural popularity.
5. What engine options will the new Bolero get?
While details are under wraps, it’s expected to come with updated diesel and possibly petrol options, both tuned for better performance and fuel efficiency while meeting the latest emission norms.
6. Will ADAS be standard?
It’s unlikely to be standard across all variants, but higher trims are expected to include ADAS Level 2 features, similar to the XUV700.
