The Mahindra Bolero, a name long associated with rural dominance and rugged dependability, is gearing up for a premium overhaul. The next-generation model is expected to debut with a panoramic sunroof, making it the first time such a feature is introduced in the Bolero lineup.
Traditionally known for its no-frills build, the Bolero has been a favorite among utility-focused buyers across India for over two decades. However, with evolving market trends and rising consumer expectations, Mahindra is now planning to modernize the Bolero to appeal to urban and aspirational SUV buyers as well.
What’s Changing?
The addition of a panoramic sunroof — typically found in more premium vehicles — signals Mahindra’s intent to reposition the Bolero beyond its basic functionality. Alongside the sunroof, several upgrades in design, comfort, and technology are expected.
According to sources and spy shots from ongoing test runs, the new Bolero could feature:
-
A redesigned dashboard with soft-touch materials
-
Touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity
-
Updated safety features including 6 airbags and ABS with EBD
-
LED lighting setup and refined body styling
-
More spacious, dual-tone cabin
Powertrain and Platform:
While official details are awaited, the Bolero is likely to retain its 2.2L mHawk diesel engine, possibly in a BS6.2-compliant version, known for its torque-heavy performance and durability. The rugged ladder-frame chassis may also continue, ensuring that off-road capabilities remain intact.
Who Is It For?
With this upgrade, Mahindra seems to be targeting a wider audience, especially:
-
Young SUV buyers looking for affordable yet stylish options
-
Urban families needing both space and status
-
Rural buyers now seeking comfort without compromising durability
By blending premium features with practicality, Mahindra is preparing the Bolero to compete not just with traditional rivals, but also with compact SUVs that dominate city markets.
