The 2025 Bolero now offers a more premium cabin by offering leatherette seats. In terms of features, the Bolero now comes with new additions such as a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a new USB Type-C charging port, and steering-mounted audio controls. It carries over other features like a semi-digital instrument cluster, power windows, remote key, and manual AC.
The safety features also remain the same such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchorages and rear parking sensors.

The Bolero Neo also features an updated grille with horizontal slats replacing the previous vertical slats, giving it a more modern look. The front bumper is finished in silver.
In profile, the SUV retains its compact and bold stance with black wheel arches and newly designed 15-inch dark grey alloy wheels. The addition of a dual-tone roof brings a more youthful touch to its design. The SUV now also gets two new colour options: Concrete Grey and Jeans Blue.
The rear styling remains familiar, with a side-hinged tailgate and spare wheel cover with the Bolero Neo badge.
