Mahindra Bolero Facelift
The cabin of this facelift model has been designed to be more practical and comfortable. Upon entering, you’ll notice a new dashboard layout and improved quality materials. It also comes with essential features such as a digital instrument cluster, power steering, power windows, USB charging port, music system, and manual AC. The comfortable seats make long journeys much easier.
Interior and Comfort Features: Practical Upgrades
The cabin now feels more premium. Higher variants (especially the B8) feature leatherette upholstery, improved seat contours, and RideFlo technology suspension for enhanced ride quality. The dashboard boasts a wood-type finish, a dual-tone theme, and improved materials.
The B6 and above variants get a 7-inch (17.8 cm) touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, USB-A/C ports, and steering-mounted controls. Android Auto/Apple CarPlay is missing, but basic music and calling functions are easy to use.
For comfort, there’s manual AC and heater, power steering, front power windows, central locking, a 12V socket, and bottle holders in the doors. The digital instrument cluster displays mileage, trip meter, tachometer, etc. Storage is good – glove box, door pockets. The third row is foldable.
However, the plastic quality is still basic, some squeaks may be present, and there are no rear AC vents or charging points. The front seats are supportive on long drives, but body roll is noticeable at high speeds.
Engine, Performance, and Mileage: The Heart of the Matter
The heart of the vehicle is a 1.5-liter (1493 cc) mHawk75 turbo diesel engine producing 75 PS of power (at 3600 rpm) and 210 Nm of torque (at 1600-2200 rpm). It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox and a RWD setup.
Pickup is decent in the city, and overtaking is easy on the highway. 0-100 kmph takes approximately 20-23 seconds. Thanks to the ladder frame chassis, it’s unmatched in off-road capabilities and load carrying.
Impressive Mileage: ARAI claimed 16 kmpl. In real-world mixed driving conditions, it easily delivers 14-15 kmpl, and 16-17 kmpl on the highway. With optimal speed (60-80 kmph), proper tire pressure, and a moderate load, some users report fuel efficiency of up to 18-20+ kmpl. The 60-liter fuel tank provides a long driving range.
The torquey nature of the diesel engine and the micro-hybrid start-stop system (on some variants) further contribute to fuel savings. It is one of the most fuel-efficient options in its class.
Engine and Excellent Performance
The Bolero Facelift’s engine is its biggest asset. It comes with a 1.5-liter diesel engine that generates 75 PS of power and 210 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, which makes gear shifting very smooth and enhances the driving experience. This SUV is particularly well-suited for rural areas, rough roads, and carrying heavy loads. Suspension and Braking Performance
The Mahindra Bolero is known for its rugged performance, and keeping this in mind, it features independent front suspension and rear leaf spring suspension, which offer stable performance even on rough roads. For braking, it has disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, along with safety features like ABS and a seat belt reminder.
Price and Finance Options
Now, let’s talk about the price. In the Indian market, the Mahindra Bolero Facelift starts at approximately ₹8.69 lakh and goes up to ₹10.49 lakh (ex-showroom). If you want to buy it on finance, you can bring this SUV home with a down payment of ₹1 lakh.
The remaining amount can be financed with a 5-year loan at a 9% interest rate, resulting in a monthly EMI of approximately ₹17,000 to ₹19,000, which is quite reasonable for this segment.
