The next-generation Mahindra Bolero is getting ready for launch in the coming months. It will feature a completely new exterior and interior, giving the popular SUV a fresh and modern appeal while keeping its rugged DNA intact.

Next-Gen Bolero Likely to Reveal on August 15

By mid-August, Mahindra & Mahindra is expected to unveil four new concept models along with an all-new platform. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed, the next-gen Bolero could make an appearance during this event.

The next-gen Bolero has been seen testing in India in a close-to-production guise. The SUV maintains its upright stance, paired with a slightly swooping bonnet and squared-off wheel arches.

Design highlights include:

- New grille with vertical slats
- Circular LED headlamps with DRLs
- Dual-tone alloy wheels
- Thicker body cladding for a tougher look

Interior Upgrades

Inside, the prototype shows a Scorpio N-inspired steering wheel and a reworked dashboard to fit a touchscreen infotainment system. A revised centre console will also be part of the cabin changes, offering a more premium feel than before.

New Bolero Expected Engine Options

Mahindra has not confirmed the engine specifications for the new Bolero, but it is expected to use the Bolero Neo’s engine, which runs on a 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder diesel unit. This can produce the power of around 99 bhp, paired with a manual gearbox.

For the next-gen model, Mahindra could also use the 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder diesel from the Thar three-door and XUV 3XO. This will offer better performance and improved drivability.

Positioning and Market Strategy

The upcoming Bolero is expected to be positioned above the current Bolero Neo. Mahindra may even introduce a new suffix to distinguish it.

Given the Bolero’s over 20 years of market success, it is likely that the current version will be sold alongside the new model. The next-gen body-on-frame SUV is expected to compete with midsize monocoque SUVs in terms of both road presence and value.
