Mahindra introduced the new version of the SUV Bolero Bold with an updated exterior

After a period of teaser announcements, Mahindra has officially released its new SUV model. The Mahindra Bolero Bold Edition was presented, which is not an updated version of the car, but rather a new set of options with some exterior changes.

The Mahindra Bolero model is very popular, especially in second and third-tier cities, where consumers prefer simple vehicles without unnecessary frills. The new Bolero Bold Edition features a bronze accent in its exterior design.

Although the overall design of the Mahindra Bolero remains unchanged—including the aggressive front look, halogen headlights, and metallic bumper grille—the Bold Edition adds styling in bronze color. This styling includes bronze accents at the front, side moldings, bronze alloy wheels, roof rails, black eco-leather seats with bronze elements, and a rear view camera.

Mahindra has not announced the price for this accessory package yet. There is speculation that Mahindra may offer these accessories as a dealer package, which would allow even buyers of the base SUV version to benefit. The price of the Mahindra Bolero itself starts from 8.57 lakh rupees including all charges, and the top configuration costs 9.99 lakh rupees including all charges.

The Bolero Bold Edition uses the same engine as the standard model. The car is equipped with a 1.5-liter three-cylinder diesel engine that produces 76 hp and 210 Nm of torque. This SUV has rear-wheel drive and a five-speed manual transmission. The stated fuel consumption is 16.5 kilometers per liter.

The popularity of this SUV is confirmed by data: in September, Bolero sales increased by 253% compared to the previous year, with 9710 units sold in September 2026.

Hyundai plans to launch the most affordable electric SUV in the Indian market

Hyundai is developing plans to introduce a range of new vehicles, including an electric crossover, to the Indian market. The brand is expected to debut this new model early next year.

The new electric vehicle will compete in a segment dominated by models such as the Tata Nexon EV, Punch EV, and Kia Seltos EV. This upcoming electric SUV will feature a distinct design compared to other mass-market Hyundai models, as the company aims to attract the mass consumer. The codename for this vehicle is Hyundai HE1i, and it may utilize a smaller battery.

The car could be equipped with batteries similar to those used in the Kia Seltos EV. The Seltos EV is fitted with a 42 kWh battery and a front electric motor that produces 135 hp and 255 Nm of torque, with a claimed range of 443 kilometers. A similar range and configuration may also appear in Hyundai models.

However, the Kia Seltos EV also offers a variant with a 51.4 kWh battery, which provides 171 hp and 255 Nm of torque. The more affordable electric SUV from Hyundai is also anticipated to have both standard and long-range versions. The first production batches will use battery cells from Volt.

Hyundai plans to source battery components locally in India, which will help reduce the vehicle's cost. The SUV may integrate Level 2 ADAS systems and a PlayOS-based infotainment system. The car might feature a dual 10.25-inch display, automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and an auto-dimming IRVM.

This vehicle will be built on the Hyundai e-GMP platform, with production scheduled at a facility in Tamil Nadu. Currently, the company is preparing to launch the Hyundai Bayon in India, which is set to debut on October 28. This model was presented to the global market and will be equipped with a 1.5-liter atmospheric engine with a manual or IVT transmission. Bayon is expected to occupy a position between the Venues and Creta, with a starting price of 10 lakh rupees.
