Mahindra just launched its newest model, the Bolero, a massive SUV trying to redefine its own legacy by taking the segment leader, the Toyota Fortuner. Given the new looks and exciting features of the new model, which is sensibly priced, the 2025 Mahindra Bolero is ready to compete with the names that have been established in the SUV market.
Get a whole new face with bold shapes.
Bolero 2025 would still retain its trademark boxy figure with the best aesthetic upgrade, which would give it a far more contemporary and muscular presence. The front fascia boasts now a colossal grille imbibed with the signature logo of Mahindra, accompanied by slim LED headlamps and daytime running lights impressing more on more aggressive poses while on the road.
Its profile has also evolved with sculptured lines, a prominent wheel arch, and very stout body cladding that give it an unexpected rugged appeal. At the back, new LED taillights coupled with a redesigned bumper complete the current fresh and stylish taste.
Premium Interior Features
Mahindra has added a few luxurious improvements to the cabin as an improvement for more enjoyable driving comfort and passenger experience. The 2025 Bolero now features a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that can be operated by an Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connection. With semi-digital instrumentation, the main info is available with a modern display.
The newly improved comfort-oriented cushions and lumbar support offer an excellent headroom and legroom ratio. The interior is complemented by hard-wearing materials in an even more sophisticated arrangement of components of the new Bolero, which gives it the impression of luxury never seen before.
Powerful performance.
The new Mahindra Bolero, still powered by the proven 1.5L mHawk diesel engine, produces a power output of 75 PS at 3600 rpm and peak torque figures of 210 Nm in 1600 to 2200 rpm range. The engine is matched with available both 6-speed manual and automatic transmission options for preference of driving style.
Not exactly brute force but practical and fuel-efficient, the Bolero suits those people who have no intention of powering their haulage by the Toyota Fortuner but want a vehicle that can serve in the everyday, weekend, camping adventure use with a bit of off-road capability.
Safety First
The 2025 Bolero sees that Mahindra seriously focuses on safety. Despite that, dual front airbags are on every single variant. The features also include ABS with EBD, which ensures a better braking performance for the SUVs. Also, additional features such as rear parking sensors, seatbelt reminders, and speed alert systems help to enhance driver and passenger safety, especially when traveling long distances.
Pricing and Availability
Expected pricing for the 2025 Mahindra Bolero will range from ₹9.79 lakh to ₹10.91 lakh (ex-showroom), making it much cheaper in comparison to the Toyota Fortuner, which is priced considerably higher. An exact launch date has not yet been given by Mahindra, but it can be expected for a showroom visit in the second half of 2025.
In terms of competition, this one will rival short midsize SUVs like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet, but it manages to stand apart with its rugged design and heritage.
Final Thoughts
The all-new 2025 Mahindra Bolero has got rugged charm coupled with a refreshed modern personality. It may not outpower or outluxury the Fortuner, but the pricing, updated design, and utilitarian features are in favor of any SUV buyer in India. The Bolero seems to be a more than sensible buy for anyone who wants a bit of tradition, durability, and modern tech at a reasonable price.
