This Is How 2025 Mahindra Bolero Mid-spec B6 Variant Looks Like In The Real World

Since the Mahindra Bolero is among the oldest car nameplates still on sale, updating it to match the changing market trends and customer expectations becomes all the more essential. The Indian marque had done exactly that recently, wherein the rugged SUV got countable cosmetic and feature upgrades, alongside a new top-spec B8 variant. In this story, we present to you the 1-above-base B6 trim in some detailed images.

Exterior

Front

The most prominent change on the SUV’s fascia is the newly designed grille and now features five slats. It’s from the B6 variant onwards that the new Bolero is also provided with chrome inserts in the grille. Being a lower-spec variant, the Bolero B6 misses out on front fog lamps, which are equipped from the next-in-line B6 (O) trim onwards. The headlight setup is still the same clear-lens unit across all variants as was offered on the older Bolero.

Side

Mahindra has given the new Bolero 15-inch steel wheels with covers from the B6 variant. Side steps and front fender-mounted turn indicators are available right from the base variant. You can also notice the ‘Bolero’ badge below the rear glass panel.

Rear

All variants of the 2025 Mahindra Bolero have the same rear profile that features the clear-lens LED tail lights and vertically opening tailgate, which also gets the spare wheel housed in a rectangular-ish bracket with the ‘Bolero’ branding on it. That said, while Mahindra offers rear defogger as standard, a rear wiper with washer is available from the B6 (O) variant onwards.

Interior

The B6 variant of the updated Mahindra Bolero is provided with fabric seat upholstery instead of the vinyl upholstery used in the base-spec B4. For the top-spec B8, the SUV is available with leatherette seat upholstery. The SUV is offered in a 7-seat configuration across all variants, with side-facing jump seats in the last row.

In terms of comfort and convenience features, the B6 variant comes with a 12V charging socket, map pockets in the front doors, bottle holders in the door pads, and a power steering. Other features on board include a manual AC, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system (without Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), power windows, and a USB Type-C charging port.

Mahindra has equipped it with safety features such as dual front airbags, ABS, seatbelt reminder (front-facing seats), and rear parking sensors.
