2025 Mahindra Bolero — Full Specifications, Price & Mileage

Engine & Performance

Engine

The 2025 Bolero is powered by Mahindra’s 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine, known for its torque-rich character and fuel-efficient performance. 

• Displacement: 1,493 cc,
• Engine Type: 3-cylinder turbo diesel,
• Power Output: ~75 PS (stock specification), 
• Torque: ~210 Nm (typical for this engine class in the Bolero), 
• Transmission: 5-speed manual gearbox,
• Drive: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD),
  
   

This engine and drivetrain combination is tuned more for low-end torque and load-carrying ability than outright speed, making the Bolero excellent for carrying people or cargo over long distances, rough roads and diverse terrains. 

⛽ Mileage & Fuel Efficiency

Mileage is a key strength of the Bolero, especially for buyers focused on utility and cost-efficiency:

✔ ARAI-Certified Mileage: ~16 km/l (standard figure) 
✔ Real-World Expectations:
• City: ~14 km/l
• Highway: ~16-17 km/l

This blend of efficiency and torque makes the Bolero suitable for long-distance travel, regular family use and even light commercial duties without frequent refuelling stops. 

💰 Price Range (2025 Model)

The 2025 Mahindra Bolero is competitively priced to remain one of the most affordable ladder-frame SUVs in India.

On-Road Price (Approx.)

• Delhi: ₹11.0 – ₹13.0 Lakh (including RTO, insurance & handling charges)
