Mahindra has just rolled out the updated Bolero for 2026, and it’s still the tough SUV everyone loves. Known for handling rough roads without any fuss, this new version keeps its strong build but adds some nice upgrades. It’s perfect for big families or those who need a reliable ride in rural areas.
A True 7-Seater with Practical Space
The Bolero remains a proper 7-seater, with side-facing jump seats in the third row. This layout makes it easy to carry more people comfortably. The cabin feels more practical now, with better seating and enough room for daily use. Whether it’s a family trip or work, it fits everyone without feeling cramped.
High-Tech Features
This time, Mahindra has added some high-tech features to keep up with the times. The top variant gets a 7-inch touchscreen for music and calls via Bluetooth. There are steering-mounted controls for easy handling, Type-C charging ports, and even leatherette seats for a premium feel. Power windows, manual AC, and a semi-digital cluster are there too. Safety includes dual airbags, ABS, and rear parking sensors – basic but important stuff.
Powerful Engine and Good Mileage
Under the hood, it’s the same reliable 1.5-litre diesel engine making around 75 PS power and 210 Nm torque. Paired with a 5-speed manual, it delivers smooth performance on highways or bad roads. Mileage is around 16 kmpl, which is great for keeping costs low. It’s rear-wheel drive, so it handles tough terrain well.
Bold New Look Outside
The exterior has a refreshed grille with chrome slats, new bumpers with fog lamps, and diamond-cut alloys on higher trims. New colors like Stealth Black add style. It still looks rugged and commanding – that’s the Bolero charm.
Affordable Price for Everyone
The best part? It starts at just ₹7.99 lakh (ex-showroom), going up to ₹9.69 lakh for the top B8 variant. That’s real value for a tough 7-seater SUV. No big price hike, so it’s still within reach for many buyers.
The updated Mahindra Bolero proves why it’s been a favorite for years. It mixes old-school toughness with new comforts, all at a price that makes sense. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense family SUV that won’t let you down, this one is worth checking out.
