New Mahindra Bolero Spied With G-Wagen Like Headlights: Watch Video
Mahindra & Mahindra is working on multiple new products. Many of these products have been spotted testing on Indian roads on different occasions. Along with it, the automaker also plans on introducing new concept models in the country on August 15. Before the event, the brand has been consistently teasing these models. Meanwhile, the updated Mahindra Bolero has been spotted testing on Indian roads, hinting at a completely new design for the SUV. Based on the latest spy shot, the updated Mahindra Bolero will come with a completely new front fascia. This consists of a new set of round LED headlamps reminiscent of the design of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. It is to be noted that the brand uses a similar design for the Thar Roxx with the C-shaped DRLs. This is complemented by a vertical slat grille. The fog lamps are embedded in the lower half of the bumper of the SUV. Along with this, there are multiple changes in the design of the vehicle, all aimed at improving its appeal to consumers. With a boxy design, the brand seems to be aiming at a butch look for the SUV. It now gets more pronounced fenders on the side with plastic cladding. Furthermore, the vehicle seems to have a rather muscular design with a prominent shoulder line. Apart from that, the SUV gets flush-fitted door handles and a new set of alloy wheels. Meanwhile, the rear end of the vehicle has a boot-mounted spare wheel with a new set of vertically-oriented tail lights.

The upcoming Mahindra Bolero will likely be underpinned by the brand's new Flexible Architecture platform with a monocoque chassis. This is engineered to reduce the weight of the vehicle and to accommodate various kinds of powertrains, including hybrids.

Next-Gen Mahindra Bolero Neo spotted testing, India launch expected soon
The Mahindra Bolero Neo is slated for a major makeover in its next-generation avatar. (AI-generated image) Check Offers Mahindra is gearing up to unveil a significant update to the Bolero Neo, with the next gen model set to make its debut on August 15. Recent spy shots of a camouflaged test mule have given a better glimpse of what's in store, and it's more than just a nip and tuck. While it retains its rugged, body-on-frame DNA, the next gen Mahindra Bolero Neo is undergoing one of the most extensive changes in Mahindra's recent history with redesigned body panels, modern styling cues, and an upgraded feature list. Also Read : Next-gen Mahindra Bolero in works, could receive a massive exterior overhaul Next gen Mahindra Bolero Neo: Expected design Despite being based on the same ladder-frame chassis as its predecessor, the Bolero Neo facelift will feature an entirely new top hat. Every body panel appears new, signalling a shift in design philosophy from utilitarian to urban-rugged. At the front, the SUV gets a more upright stance with a reprofiled bumper, LED fog lamps, a bold Mahindra grille, and circular headlamps—reportedly inspired by the Thar Roxx. The profile stays true to its compact SUV roots with short overhangs and squared-out wheel arches. However, enhancements like a redesigned glasshouse, flush-fitting door handles, multi-spoke alloy wheels (similar to those seen on the XUV700), and bold cladding lend a more premium look. At the rear, a side-hinged tailgate and spare wheel remain, but new vertically-stacked tail lamps and a prominent shoulder line offer a touch of sophistication. Interestingly, the rear silhouette draws a resemblance to the Land Rover Defender, while the front echoes cues from the Mercedes G-Class. Next gen Mahindra Bolero Neo: Expected features Though the interiors remain unseen as yet, the indications are that a major improvement is in store. Mahindra is likely to add six airbags to its list of safety improvements, an upgrade over the current model's provision. Another new dashboard design, a bigger touchscreen infotainment system, and perhaps even a sunroof—a feature gaining popularity in this segment—are expected as well. These shifts are towards a change in positioning where the Bolero Neo is positioned to attract not only rural customers but also more urban, fashion-oriented customers. Next gen Mahindra Bolero Neo: Expected specs Under the bonnet, Mahindra is also expected to retain the tried-and-tested 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel motor that produces 100 bhp and 260 Nm of torque. Currently mated with a manual transmission, the facelift version might add an automatic gearbox option—a development that would enhance its city-friendly nature. Also Read : Mahindra XUV700 facelift spotted for the first time Though there have been no reports of significant mechanical interventions, the likelihood of chassis tweaking or refinement upgrades can't be entirely dismissed. Next gen Mahindra Bolero Neo: Expected launch The Bolero Neo facelift is expected to be unveiled in near-production form during Mahindra's annual Independence Day event on August 15. The launch could follow in early 2026, with Mahindra having previously hinted at this timeline during its earnings call. With its refreshed design and enhanced feature set, the updated Bolero Neo is likely to appeal to a broader audience while retaining its rugged, go-anywhere charm.
