Mahindra Bolero Neo 2025 Launched: Rugged 7-Seater Diesel SUV with MTT and Bold New Styling

The Mahindra Bolero Neo 2025 gets a muscular design update while retaining its rugged, ladder-frame DNA. The SUV now features a refreshed grille, LED DRLs, squared wheel arches, strong character lines, and a more aggressive front bumper. It still maintains the tough stance of the original Bolero but adds urban appeal. This facelift gives the Neo a bolder road presence, making it more suitable for both rural and city use

Proven 1.5L Turbo Diesel Engine with Smooth Manual Gearbox

The updated Bolero Neo is powered by Mahindra’s 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine that delivers 100 PS of power and 260 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that offers smooth gear shifts and consistent torque for uphill climbs and highway cruising. The engine is known for its reliability, low-end grunt, and practical efficiency for daily use or long-distance drives

Now with Multi-Terrain Technology (MTT) and Mechanical Locking Differential

One of the major highlights of the top N10 (O) variant is the inclusion of Multi-Terrain Technology which comes with a mechanical locking differential. This setup enables the SUV to maintain traction in slippery conditions like mud or steep inclines by automatically transferring torque to the wheel with grip. This makes the Bolero Neo more capable off-road compared to its segment rivals

7-Seater Practicality with Foldable Jump Seats

The Bolero Neo offers seating for seven with two foldable side-facing jump seats in the third row. While these are best suited for short trips or children, the SUV’s upright seats and wide windows ensure good visibility and decent comfort for the first two rows. The boot space stands at 384 litres when the third row is folded, which adds utility for families and small businesses

Mileage and Driving Performance

The Bolero Neo delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of 17.3 kmpl. In real-world conditions, it performs well, offering around 14–16 kmpl depending on traffic and driving style. It is well-suited for city roads and rural terrains alike. The ride is slightly firm but offers good high-speed stability and ground clearance of 180 mm, making it versatile for Indian roads

Expected Pricing and Launch Timeline

The 2025 Mahindra Bolero Neo is expected to be priced between ₹10 lakh and ₹12.20 lakh ex-showroom, with its launch expected around the festive season. It will continue to be offered in multiple trims, with the N10 (O) trim offering the most features and off-road capability

Basic Safety Features for Daily Driving

The Bolero Neo includes safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, ISOFIX mounts, and engine immobilizer. Although it does not feature advanced ADAS or a high crash-test rating, it provides essential safety for regular use

The Mahindra Bolero Neo 2025 is a no-nonsense diesel SUV built for strength, utility, and rough-road endurance. With its new styling, Multi-Terrain Technology, and proven 1.5L diesel engine, it continues to serve as a reliable family and fleet vehicle. Whether you’re looking for a tough commuter or a rugged workhorse, the Bolero Neo fits the bill with its balance of affordability and function
