Mahindra has officially launched the 2025 Bolero, India’s favorite rugged SUV, now with a factory-fitted CNG option. Starting at ₹7.85 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated Bolero retains its bold utility-focused design while offering improved fuel economy, cleaner emissions, and lower running costs for both rural and urban users.
Classic Toughness, Modern Upgrades
The 2025 Mahindra Bolero retains its boxy, muscular look that buyers love. The new model comes with updated bumpers, a refreshed front grille, and subtle design enhancements for better aerodynamics. Built on a ladder-frame chassis, it’s designed to tackle rough terrains, bad roads, and heavy-duty usage with ease.
The interior remains functional yet refreshed, featuring durable dual-tone upholstery, an upgraded digital instrument cluster, and power windows. Mahindra has kept the focus on durability, making it ideal for both personal and commercial use.
Factory-Fitted CNG Option for Higher Efficiency
One of the key highlights of the 2025 Bolero is the introduction of a CNG variant, aimed at users looking for lower fuel costs without compromising on performance. The CNG version offers:
- Improved mileage of up to 26 km/kg
- Dual fuel mode (Petrol + CNG)
- Factory warranty coverage
- Seamless switch between fuel types
This makes the Bolero CNG ideal for long-distance rural users, fleet operators, and small business owners.
Engine and Performance
The Bolero 2025 is powered by a 1.5L mHawk diesel engine in standard variants, producing 75 bhp and 210 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The CNG variant is expected to use a 1.2L petrol-CNG engine, tuned for fuel efficiency and city performance.
Despite its basic mechanicals, the Bolero continues to offer high ground clearance, rear-wheel drive, and a reputation for longevity—attributes that keep it popular in rural India.

Mahindra has also introduced customized commercial versions of the Bolero, including cargo and pickup-ready models.
