New Delhi [India], December 22: For more than two decades, the Mahindra Bolero has remained one of India’s most trusted SUVs, known for its rugged build, reliability and practicality. Designed to perform equally well on city roads and challenging terrain, the Bolero continues to be a strong performer in the utility vehicle segment.
In its latest version, Mahindra has refreshed the Bolero with subtle design updates, improved comfort and modern technology, while retaining its hallmark durability. Here is a detailed look at the specifications, variants and features of the Mahindra Bolero.
Engine and Performance

The Bolero retains its signature boxy and robust design, focused on strength and utility. High ground clearance, a ladder-frame chassis, sturdy steel body construction and 215/75 R15 tyres make it well-suited for rough and broken roads.
