2026 Mahindra Bolero will offer 4 front-facing seat rows
What's the story
Mahindra is developing an all-new Bolero. Planned for a debut in 2026, the SUV is set to be built on the innovative U171 platform. This next-generation Bolero range will offer various seating, body styles, and powertrain options, targeting customers in tier-2 cities. The lineup will include multiple length and wheelbase choices to cater to the different preferences of the buyers.
Details
Diverse line-up starting with five-seat version
The new Bolero series will start with a five-seat model, likely under 4,000mm in length, replacing the current Bolero and the less popular Bolero Neo. A larger three-row version is also anticipated, though it's uncertain if the 7-seat model will maintain the under-4,000mm size like its predecessor. Mahindra aims to enhance passenger safety and achieve a higher Bharat NCAP crash test rating by equipping the Bolero with a forward-facing third row.

Bolero will also have a four-row XL iteration
Focusing on buyers in rural areas, Mahindra plans to launch an extended XL version of the Bolero to compete with the Force Citiline. This model will feature four front-facing rows of seats, accommodating up to nine passengers. Some of the wheelbase options for the next-gen Bolero will be shared with the Mahindra pickup range, allowing for better economies of scale and competitive pricing.
