New Mahindra Bolero Neo 2025: Smarter and Sharper

The Bolero Neo, based on the TUV300 platform, gets a more premium update aimed at young buyers who want toughness with comfort.

Powering the Bolero Neo is the 1.5-litre mHawk100 diesel engine, delivering 100 PS and 260 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Select variants also include Multi-Terrain Technology (MTT) and a mechanical locking differential, giving it extra traction on rough terrain.

The Neo now feels more refined and city-friendly, without losing the Bolero toughness that rural India loves.

Shared Platform, Distinct Personalities

The Bolero remains the classic workhorse – rugged, minimal, and built for endurance.
The Bolero Neo targets a more urban audience, blending SUV stance with comfort and technology.

Both continue to be powered by efficient diesel engines, tuned for fuel economy and torque-heavy performance — perfect for Indian roads and off-road trails alike.

Safety and Technology

Mahindra has kept safety simple but sufficient:

• Dual front airbags
• ABS with EBD
• Rear parking sensors
• ISOFIX child seat mounts (Neo)
• Seatbelt reminder and high-speed alert

While not class-leading in safety tech, the Bolero twins focus on reliability and proven hardware rather than flashy gadgets.

Expert Take: Why This Launch Matters

The Bolero has been India’s go-to rugged SUV for over two decades. With this refresh, Mahindra aims to keep it relevant in 2025’s SUV-heavy market.
The updates may not be revolutionary, but they’re smart, practical, and exactly what loyal buyers want — a tougher look, a few more creature comforts, and modern features without sacrificing durability.

For those in rural or semi-urban India, the Bolero remains an unbeatable value-for-money choice. The Bolero Neo, meanwhile, appeals to buyers who love the brand’s toughness but want something more stylish for everyday drives.
