Introduction
The Mahindra Bolero is a rugged three-row SUV that, in its current avatar, is available in three main variants and three colour options. Priced from ₹9.79 lakh (ex-showroom), the Bolero SUV was last updated in 2023 to fall in with the Bharat Stage-6 Phase 2 emissions standards. It is known for its tough build, boxy silhouette, and reliability, and it is fitted with a torque-heavy diesel mill capable of tackling any road condition. Mahindra and Mahindra are expected to bring out an all-new Bolero in 2026 with plans to pin it on an entirely new platform for their ICE-powered vehicles.
Originally introduced in 2000, the first generation of the Bolero SUV was based on the Mahindra Armada, its predecessor. While it has been continuously manufactured for the next two decades, the Mahindra Bolero has undergone minimal design changes, with its overall identity still intact.

When will the Mahindra Bolero launch?
The Mahindra Bolero was last updated on March 7, 2023, to comply with the BS-VI Phase 2 emissions norms. It was originally launched in the Indian passenger vehicles market in 2000 and has remained in production ever since. The first generation Bolero was launched with a Peugeot 2.5-litre diesel engine. It was not until the second generation model that Mahindra made and fitted in their in-house turbo-diesel unit. The current-gen Mahindra Bolero runs on the 1.5-litre mHawk75 diesel engine that gets mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
Mahindra and Mahindra are expected to launch an all-new Bolero SUV in 2026 and this will be built around an entirely new platform. This new platform, expected to be called U171, is likely to underpin the next generation of Mahindra’s ICE-powered vehicles, which will include, at the very least, three SUVs. Pickup trucks are also expected to be built on this platform.
