If you live in a city or village in India or any other country, then most people do not see the Bolero as just a car. Rather, they use it as a companion.
Mahindra Bolero runs very well in the village. Bolero is best used in situations like taking a sick person to the hospital, reaching family members at a wedding.
Mahindra transformed it into a new form in 2025. And when I first saw this Bolero on the road, it felt like this old car was back. A little changed but the heart remained the same.
1. Engine & Performance
The moment you start the new Bolero 2025, the engine settles down calmly, confidently. It doesn't make any noise to attract attention - it just feels ready, like a reliable partner who is by your side every step of the way.
The Bolero is not about competition at all; it's about confidence. Whether you're cruising down country roads, traveling with family, or returning home from somewhere, the engine keeps running with silent power. It's the kind of performance that doesn't just move the car - it gives you confidence on every journey.
2. Seating & Space (Specific)
The Bolero 2025 comes with two seating layouts:
1. 7-seat layout — 2 + 3 + side-facing seats
2. 9-seat layout — popular for
commercial use
The boot space is not very large, but the side-facing seats make the space adjustable.
3. Bold and rugged exterior — with
a modern touch
A new grille design + front fog lamps give a new, tougher look.
Diamond-cut R15 alloy wheels (on upper trims) and a new "Stealth Black" color make the SUV stand out.
The classic boxy-SUV shape is maintained — with good ground clearance and a strong structure for rough roads.
4. Upgraded Interior & Comfort Features
Seats with new contours and leatherette upholstery - more comfortable than the older versions.
17.8 cm touchscreen infotainment system (on mid and upper variants) and steering-mounted audio controls - useful for controlling music/calls while driving.
USB / Type-C charging ports and practical door bottle-holders add convenience.

The 2025 model has these safety features:
1. Dual front airbags
2. ABS + EBD
3. Reverse parking sensors
4. Engine immobilizer

6. Strong body shell (Bolero's USP)

but less than before.
