Mahindra has refreshed one of its most popular SUVs — the Bolero Neo — giving it a new look, more features, and a revised price tag. The 2025 version continues to focus on practicality but now feels a bit more stylish and comfortable than before.
New Pricing and Variants
Mahindra has made the Bolero Neo a little easier on the pocket this time. The base variant now starts at ₹8.49 lakh (ex-showroom), while the newly added top-end N11 trim is priced at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
Compared to the previous model, most variants are now cheaper by ₹25,000–₹50,000, depending on the version. This price revision makes the Bolero Neo a stronger choice for buyers looking for a rugged yet affordable compact SUV.
Fresh Design Updates
At first glance, the 2025 Bolero Neo looks familiar, but Mahindra has quietly added a few design tweaks that make it feel new. The SUV now sports a redesigned front grille with horizontal slats, giving it a broader and more assertive stance.
Mahindra has also introduced two new colour options — Concrete Grey and Jeans Blue — along with existing shades such as Diamond White, Stealth Black, Pearl White, and Rocky Beige. There’s even an option for dual-tone paint schemes, adding a bit of flair for those who want their SUV to stand out.
The lower variants ride on 15-inch silver alloys, while the top N11 trim gets 16-inch metallic grey wheels that complete the SUV’s tough yet modern appearance.
Upgraded Interior with Premium Feel
Step inside, and the cabin feels more inviting than before. Mahindra has used a new Mocha Brown theme that looks richer and more refined. The top model features a Lunar Grey finish, which helps make the interior feel brighter and more spacious.
The seats have been reworked for better comfort and support, with new leatherette upholstery adding a premium touch. These small details make a noticeable difference during long drives or rough-road journeys.
New Features for Everyday Convenience
Mahindra has paid attention to customer feedback and added features that make daily driving easier. The Bolero Neo now comes with a rear-view camera, which is a big help when reversing or parking in tight spots.
There’s also a USB Type-C port for quick phone charging, a small but useful addition for today’s gadget-heavy lifestyle.
To improve comfort, Mahindra has introduced RideFlo suspension technology, which helps the SUV absorb bumps better and deliver a smoother ride — a welcome change for Indian road conditions.
Engine and Performance
Mahindra hasn’t changed what’s under the hood — and that’s actually a good thing. The SUV continues with the tried-and-tested 1.5-litre, three-cylinder diesel engine that produces 100 bhp and 260 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and while there’s still no automatic option, the setup remains reliable, efficient, and ideal for everyday use.
This engine has been a trusted performer in Mahindra’s lineup, offering strong low-end torque that makes it easy to drive both in the city and on highways.

It stays true to its roots — simple, sturdy, and dependable — while adding just enough freshness to keep it relevant in today’s SUV market. For those who want a tough yet comfortable SUV without spending too much, the Bolero Neo continues to be a solid choice.
