The Mahindra Bolero Neo was recently spotted in its facelifted avatar, which gives what is probably one of the first clear views of the changes this SUV has undergone. The video of the undisguised model
hints at design tweaks, feature additions, and interior revamps that seem to point out that Mahindra wants to keep the model’s rugged DNA intact but make it even more attractive overall. With the launch of the changes looking evolutionary rather than radical, there is ample reason for fans of the Bolero Neo to keep their eyes peeled.

New Bolero Neo: Anticipated Exterior Changes
The most apparent among the changes is indeed the new front grille, where a horizontal slat replaces the earlier setup of vertical slats. Thus, more cleanliness and modernity come into play with looks for the vehicle. Other developments include reshaped lower bumper, which will now house a wider air dam together with some updated styling details. The headlamp internals may see LED DRLs along the top edge, though the overall shape of lights remains familiar. The side profile seems largely unchanged, and the wheel design in the spy shots still shows 15-inch silver alloys, though these may be updated in the production model. The rear retains features like wraparound taillamps, roof spoiler, and tailgate-mounted spare wheel adding up to better design.
New Bolero Neo: Interior And Feature Upgrades
Internally, the facelifted Bolero Neo is said to adopt a revised black and dark brown dual-tone theme, replacing the earlier black and beige setup. The N10 trim, as seen in recent videos, gets a bigger 10.25-inch touchscreen and striking chrome treatment with silver grab handles to add some elegance. It is, however, more plain-looking on the N8 variant due to simpler trim and absence of fog lamps. These images indicate that Mahindra may also work on the cabin with better soft-touch material, upholstery upgrades, and detailing finesse for an even premium experience.

New Bolero Neo: Powertrain And Mechanical Layout
The facelift version is expected to carry over the existing 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder mHawk100 diesel engine that puts out about 100 hp and 260 Nm of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is most likely to be retained as standard. There is no credible information at the moment pointing to a petrol or hybrid alternative being introduced with this facelift.
