Which 2025 Mahindra Bolero variant should you consider buying?

The Mahindra Bolero has received a facelift for 2025, which introduces design changes, new features, a new top-spec variant and a fresh colour option for the hardy three-row SUV. Notably, prices for the 2025 Bolero range are also lower than those of the pre-facelift model. Let’s take an in-depth look at the updated Bolero line-up.

2025 Mahindra Bolero price and powertrains

Up to Rs 80,000 more affordable than the outgoing Bolero.

The Bolero facelift price starts at Rs 7.99 lakh and extends to Rs 9.69 lakh for the all-new B8 variant. These prices are cheaper than the pre-facelift Bolero by up to a whopping Rs 80,000.

Under the hood, Mahindra has retained the 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. The oil-burner develops 76hp and 210Nm and is available solely with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Bolero facelift promises improved ride comfort.

There is a prominent mechanical change for the new Bolero, though, and it’s in the suspension department. Mahindra has eschewed the rear suspension’s prior leaf spring setup in favour of frequency-dependent dampers, which can automatically tweak damping force based on the frequency of inputs from the road surface. This should enable superior ride comfort.

2025 Mahindra Bolero colours

New black colour option added to the range.

All three colours from the pre-facelift Bolero – Diamond White, Dsat Silver and Rocky Beige – have been carried forward to the updated model. However, the 2025 Bolero gets an additional Stealth Black colour option. Inside, the only colour scheme available is beige-and-black tone, irrespective of the variant.

Which 2025 Mahindra Bolero variant should you buy?

B6 (O) offers every necessary feature.

The Bolero B6 (O) variant represents the best value in the range since it offers every functional upgrade that the facelifted model introduces. Additional feel-good features like alloys and leatherette upholstery are restricted to the top-spec B8 variant, but many Bolero buyers will likely opt to save Rs 60,000 and get the B6 (O) instead.
