The Mahindra Bolero is a SUV produced by Mahindra & Mahindra since 2000.
History and Design
The basic design is based on the Mahindra Armada Grand. The first-generation Bolero was equipped with a Peugeot Template:Convert IDI engine which produced Template:Convert, although turbocharged versions with or without an intercooler were also available, raising power to Template:Convert respectively.[1] The second generation was released with slightly modified exteriors (a larger grille being the most obvious change) and the major change was the engine, a Template:Convert in-house turbocharged direct injection diesel engine from Mahindra with an output of Template:Convert.Template:Citation needed
In September 2011, the third generation Bolero was released, with a more thoroughly re-designed front with jewelled headlamps.[2] In India it is powered by the Template:Convert M2DiCR diesel engine with a "soft turbo", mated to a five-speed transmission.[2] This latest engine meets the Bharat IV emissions standards.[3]
On 6 October 2025, a facelift was unveiled alongside the Bolero Neo, featuring a redesigned grille, new fog lights, new color and new alloys.[4]
Models and trims
Bolero is available in 3 variants B4, B6 and B6 optional since April 2020. An ambulance model is also available. The five-seat pickup version of the Bolero (nowadays known as the Bolero Camper) entered production in Uruguay as the "Cimarrón" in June 2004.[5]

The 2025 model is available in four variants — B4, B6, B6(O), and a new B8 — with prices ranging between ₹7.99 lakh and ₹9.69 lakh (ex-showroom, India).[8]
Key exterior revisions include a five-slat chrome grille featuring Mahindra’s twin-peaks logo, redesigned body-coloured bumpers with rectangular fog lamps on higher trims, and new 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels on the B8 variant.[9] A new Stealth Black paint option has been added alongside Diamond White, DSAT Silver, and Rocky Beige.[10]
Inside, the Bolero gains a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, leatherette upholstery, Type-C charging ports, and steering-mounted audio controls.[11] The model also receives RideFlo frequency-sensitive dampers, replacing the previous rear suspension setup — a change noted by Mahindra as aimed at improving comfort and stability.
