2025 Mahindra Bolero Neo: Variant-wise features, updates, and pricing explained

While the Bolero stands as the no-frills workhorse in the Indian market, Mahindra offers the same rugged package in a more premium avatar, billed as the Bolero Neo. For the 2025 model year, the Mahindra Bolero Neo has undergone a facelift, carrying multiple changes across the board. Priced between ₹8.49 lakh and ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated model continues to appeal to buyers seeking a compact, rear-wheel-drive SUV with ladder-frame toughness but modern amenities.

The lineup now spans five trims, N4, N8, N10, N10(O), and N11, each progressively adding features and cosmetic elements. Although no mechanical changes have been made, the Bolero Neo now benefits from Mahindra’s advanced suspension tech, dubbed RideFlo, which promises better ride comfort. Additionally, the SUV comes with new dual-tone colour options for an enhanced appeal.

What are the common features across the Bolero Neo range?

All variants of the 2025 Mahindra Bolero Neo retain the 1.5-litre mHawk100 diesel engine paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel-drive layout, with the added RideFlo tech. Across the lineup, the SUV continues to offer a seven-seat layout in a 5+2 configuration, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, corner braking control, micro-hybrid start-stop function, and power steering with front and rear power windows.

Interior upgrades vary by trim, but all models now receive subtle upgrades to build quality, along with new interior colour themes depending on the variant. The facelift also adds fresh colour options, Jeans Blue and Concrete Grey.

Mahindra Bolero Neo N4:

Priced at ₹8.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the N4 forms the entry point into the Bolero Neo range. The list of standard features remains largely consistent with the previous N4 trim but observes relevant updates for 2025. On the design front, the SUV now wears a redesigned grille with horizontal slats embellished in chrome.

The cabin is treated to a new Mocha Brown interior theme, and Mahindra has added its RideFlo suspension technology as part of the standard package for improved comfort on rough terrain. Equipment includes a 7-seat vinyl-upholstered layout with a foldable third row, eco mode, and basic conveniences such as power steering, all-four power windows, and a 12V charging outlet. The standard safety net remains unchanged with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and corner braking control.

Bolero Neo N8:

At ₹9.29 lakh, the N8 trim builds upon the N4 by adding features that make the Bolero Neo more liveable. The standard equipment has been retained, but the cabin gets new fabric seat upholstery and improved seat cushioning. This variant also introduces the new Jeans Blue exterior colour option for 2025.

The addition of wheel arch cladding, dual-tone ORVMs, and Mahindra’s Versa wheel design makes the SUV feel more complete. On the inside, it gains more creature comforts such as Bluetooth, USB and AUX-enabled music player with steering-mounted controls, and remote key entry.

Bolero Neo N10:

The N10 variant, priced at ₹9.79 lakh, is the most well-rounded option for buyers looking for a feature-rich offering without venturing into the top-end territory. It carries forward all the features of the N8 while introducing updates such as R15 silver alloy wheels and a rear-view camera integrated with an upgraded 22.8 cm touchscreen infotainment, supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Mahindra further adds Type-C ports, while carrying over features such as static bending headlamps, fog lamps, cruise control, electrically adjustable ORVMs, rear wiper and defogger, and ISOFIX mounts.

Bolero Neo N10(O):

At ₹10.49 lakh, the N10(O) is set apart by Mahindra’s Multi-Terrain Technology (MTT), which offers drive modes for loose, sandy, or uneven surfaces, making it a more competent option.

This variant of the Bolero Neo also adds the new Mocha Brown leatherette upholstery, upping the degree of plushness. All features from the N10 variant continue unchanged, including the rear-view camera, infotainment system, and connected tech suite.

Bolero Neo N11:

The new N11 variant essentially replaces the older N10(O) as the range-topper at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes with dual-tone colour schemes and 16-inch dark metallic grey alloy wheels that visually distinguish it from the rest of the range.

The cabin adopts a new Lunar Grey theme with matching leatherette upholstery, replacing the Mocha Brown finish of lower trims. Feature highlights such as the rear-view camera, Android Auto and CarPlay compatibility, and Type-C charging port are carried over from the N10.
