Design and Build
Mahindra Bolero 2025 carries over its boxy, almost utilitarian profile accentuated by an elaborate grille, LED headlamps and X-shaped bumpers. Darker bumpers, side screechers and body-coloured ORVMs upgrade the bold edition to a much grittier form. Available in Lakeside Brown, Dsat Silver and Diamond White, it is 3995mm long, uses a 1745mm wide platform with a body-on-frame configuration providing some equality on the solids out to 1880mm high while including a 2680mm wheelbase.
Though it has a body-on-frame chassis which means the vehicle will last longer, the 183mm of ground clearance and placement of the DEF tank makes for no friends on poor roads. Though some users are not impressed by the clunky exterior, X users really like this off road spirit and the dated plastic interiors.
Engine and Performance
Mahindra Bolero 2025 drives on a 1.5L mHawk75 diesel engine that produces 74.96 bhp and 210Nm (micro-hybrid technology along with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Get good mileage — 16-17 kmpl for long drives with 60L fuel tank, it includes 16-17 kmpl mileage. Back-wheel drive provides off-road capability, automatic or 4×4 options are missing to restrict the versatility. As suggested by the CarWale reviews, it rides very well on rural roads though stability at high speed above 120 kmph is average. It is BS6 Phase 2 compliant and a good middle ground in power to fuel ratio.
Features and Safety
Mahindra Bolero 2025 has semi-digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth music system, Manual air conditioning and power windows. Bold edition includes dark chrome over trims and a centre armrest on the rear. It has dual front airbags, rear parking sensors, ABS and seatbelt reminders — it cannot boast ESP or ADAS and NCAP ratings are not available. Zero to 70mph in just over seven seconds : 7-seater layout, 384L boot space makes it family-friendly but fails if you’re expecting touchscreen and Android Auto, as per 91wheels feedback. It has a visual look of 3,000+ service centres which is synonymous to be around feasibly for barely ₹3,000/service.
Price and Value

Bolero Neo (Mostly Rs.995k) counts as a cheaper option before it comes to features, though a bit feature-rich.

Daya is marketed on a new U171 platform designed for rural families/ commercial use with around 16-17 kmpl mileage and sturdy build. It suffers from dated interior and lack of safety features This is a good value for money and available at Mahindra dealers.
