Mahindra has launched the 2025 Bolero Neo in India, with prices starting from ₹8.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The updated sub-4-meter SUV retains its rugged ladder-frame underpinnings but now comes with modern design touches, a larger infotainment system, and new premium features inside.
2025 Mahindra Bolero Neo Price List (Ex-showroom, India)
| Variant | Price |
|---|---|
| N4 | ₹8.49 lakh |
| N8 | ₹9.29 lakh |
| N10 | ₹9.79 lakh |
| N11 (New) | ₹9.99 lakh |
Mahindra has also introduced a new top-spec N11 variant, adding more features and comfort to the lineup without straying from the Bolero Neo’s practical, rugged appeal.
Exterior: Familiar Toughness, Fresh Appeal
The 2025 Bolero Neo gets a refreshed front fascia, now featuring a new horizontal slat grille with silver accents that gives the SUV a more sophisticated face. The 16-inch alloy wheels sport a new design, adding to its commanding road presence.
The signature boxy silhouette, high stance, and tailgate-mounted spare wheel—hallmarks of the Bolero family—remain intact, preserving its identity as a rugged yet affordable SUV.
Buyers can now pick from new colours like Jeans Blue and Concrete Gray, alongside classic shades such as Diamond White, Stealth Black, Pearl White, and Rocky Beige. Dual-tone options are also now on offer for a more stylish look.
Interior: Tech-Loaded and More Premium
Inside, the 2025 Bolero Neo has undergone a notable transformation. The cabin now features a dual-tone dashboard in black and beige, lending a more upscale ambience. The biggest change, however, is the new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a major upgrade from the earlier 7-inch unit.
This new screen supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and the SUV now also includes a rear-view camera and a USB Type-C port, making it more practical and tech-forward for everyday use.
Engine & Performance: Same Trusted Diesel Power
Under the hood, the Bolero Neo 2025 continues with Mahindra’s tried-and-tested 1.5-litre mHawk 100 diesel engine that delivers 100hp and 260Nm of torque. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Built on a ladder-frame chassis, the Bolero Neo retains its rear-wheel-drive setup, ensuring it stays true to its rugged, go-anywhere reputation. Mahindra has also fine-tuned the suspension system with new MTVCL FDD dampers, improving ride comfort and handling stability. Additionally, enhanced brake dynamics promise safer and smoother driving.
Positioning: A Tough SUV in a Soft-Roader World
While the Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza dominate the sub-4-meter SUV market with their monocoque construction and urban appeal, the Bolero Neo stands apart as the only ladder-frame, RWD SUV in its class.
This makes it an ideal choice for buyers seeking a durable, utility-driven SUV that can handle both city commutes and rough rural terrain with ease.
Final Verdict
The 2025 Mahindra Bolero Neo is a smart evolution of a proven formula — rugged design meets modern tech. With subtle styling tweaks, a larger infotainment system, and improved ride quality, Mahindra has successfully kept the Bolero Neo relevant for a new generation of SUV buyers.
At a starting price of ₹8.49 lakh, it remains one of the most value-packed ladder-frame SUVs on sale in India today.
