Discover the Updated Mahindra Bolero
The latest Mahindra Bolero model brings a fresh look with its updated logo. This new logo is a major change from the old Bolero, which had the older Mahindra logo. This update gives the Bolero a refreshed identity while keeping its core features.
What’s New Upfront?
Looking at the front, the new Bolero proudly displays the updated Mahindra logo on its front grille. The grille keeps its familiar vertical shape. The headlights are normal halogen lights with side indicators. Higher variants might offer DRLs, but this specific model does not. There are no fog lamps in this variant either. The front bumper is made of metal, providing a strong and durable look. The suspension setup and ground clearance are also visible from the front.
Robust Side View and Key Measurements
From the side, the Bolero is a 7-seater, rough and tough SUV. It features graphics on the side. The Bolero is available only with a diesel engine.
Here are its key dimensions:
- Length: 4099 millimeters
- Width: 1745 millimeters
- Height: 1880 millimeters
- Wheelbase: 2680 millimeters
The wheels are 15-inch steel rims. The front wheels have disc brakes, while the rear wheels use drum brakes. The wheel covers also feature the new Mahindra logo. The tires are 215/75 R15 radial tires, which are good for various road conditions, especially rough terrain. The side cladding is body-colored.
Powering the Bolero
The Bolero comes with an mHawk diesel engine. This is a 1500cc mHawk diesel engine that produces 75 BHP of power and 210 Nm of torque. It offers a mileage of approximately 16 kmpl. The outside rearview mirrors are body-colored and can be manually folded. The door handles are finished in black. You will also see “Bolero B6” badging on the side.
Step Inside the Bolero
Inside the cabin, most things are similar, but the steering wheel now carries the new Mahindra logo. The dashboard in this model has a distinct color, which is different from the brownish tone found in some older Bolero models.
The seats are made of fabric, and you can adjust the seat recline. The car comes with a manual transmission. It includes standard pedals and a key with remote central locking.
The instrument cluster is digital, showing speed, odometer, low fuel warning, and other important information. The center console features AC vents with a subtle wooden-type finish. It also has an audio system and controls for locking windows and other functions. A small storage space is available here. The glove box offers limited space. For safety, it has dual airbags; one in the steering wheel and one on the passenger side. The roof has sun visors, a mic placement, and yellow cabin lights.
The second row offers a high seating position and good thigh support, providing comfortable space for passengers. However, there are no rear AC vents in the Bolero.
The Practical Rear
The rear profile of the Bolero is robust. The Mahindra logo is prominently displayed on the spare wheel. “Bolero” badging is also present. The taillights house the reverse light and indicators. The tailgate handle is black. The rear bumper is body-colored and includes parking sensors. A footrest is also provided at the rear. The suspension setup is visible from below the rear.
Third-Row Seating and Cargo Space
Opening the tailgate reveals the third-row seating. The door panel has a matte black finish with hard plastic handles. The third-row seats are side-facing, like jump seats. This arrangement provides good space for seating, especially considering the car’s height. When the third row is not in use, you can get approximately 400 liters of boot space.
