Talk has begun about the new version of the Mahindra Bolero SUV, which has been popular in the Indian market for more than 25 years. Mahindra has released a teaser video of the new Bolero on its official social media page.
The teaser has raised customers' curiosity. The upcoming model is likely to have new graphics and minor changes to the exterior. There is talk that the company could bring the updated SUV to market during the festive season. However, the official launch date and details of all the changes are yet to be clarified by the company.
The teaser gives a glimpse of the Bolero's front through smoke. With the video, the company has hinted that the SUV will become even more powerful. Car enthusiasts are now watching to see what exactly will change in the design of the new model.
The Bolero is a rugged SUV that is especially popular in rural areas. Because it is useful on bad roads and for everyday use, the vehicle has enjoyed good demand for many years. With the new version, the company may try to sustain this popularity.
The upcoming Bolero is likely to be an updated variant of the current model. Instead of major mechanical changes, some cosmetic updates may be offered. Possible changes include new stickers and graphics on the side panels, minor changes to the exterior design, machine-cut alloy wheels and a possible update to the infotainment system. The useful features of the current model are also likely to be retained.
The current Bolero offers amenities such as manual air conditioning, fabric seats, an analogue instrument cluster, power windows and power steering. Official information on which of these features will remain in the new variant, or what new options will be offered, has not yet emerged.
In its recent update, the Bolero was given a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which supports Bluetooth, USB connectivity and navigation through phone mirroring. The upcoming variant could retain the same system, or the company could opt for a larger touchscreen. However, there is no official confirmation on this yet. The conventional halogen headlamps and the sturdy bumper design are also likely to stay.
The current Mahindra Bolero has a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder mHawk75 turbo diesel engine. The engine produces 75 bhp of power and 210 Nm of torque. It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and power is sent to the rear wheels.
The Bolero is currently available in B4, B6 and B8 variants. Its ex-showroom price ranges from Rs 8.57 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh. The price and variant details of the new version will be clear at the time of launch.
Overall, the new Bolero, with new graphics and possible feature updates, could attract customers. However, the launch date, final features and price will have to await the company's official announcement.
