Mahindra will be launching three new SUVs during the upcoming festive season. The launches will begin with the updated Bolero Neo and the standard Bolero, both scheduled for release on October 6. Following these, the facelifted Thar 3-door will be introduced. In addition to the three SUVs, Mahindra is preparing a refresh for its popular XUV700 range, which is expected to launch early next year.
The Bolero Neo, which was formerly the TUV300, is getting a second facelift. This will include a new grille, slightly revised bumpers, and interior updates. Higher trims might feature new upholstery and added features. According to dealer sources, Mahindra has tuned the suspension for improved ride quality. The engine is expected to remain the same.
Alongside the Bolero Neo, the standard Bolero will also receive some updates. Specific details are limited, but the updates will include minor exterior and interior changes to keep it fresh. The Bolero has been a reliable vehicle for Mahindra for over two decades and continues to be a top-selling SUV, particularly in smaller cities and rural areas.
The focus will then shift to the Thar 3-door facelift. The second-generation Thar, launched in October 2020, has sold over 2.59 lakh units and has been very successful. The Thar 3-door has contributed significantly to the overall Thar family sales, even with the larger Thar Roxx in the market. The new facelift will incorporate updates from its larger counterpart, featuring a premium cabin, soft-touch materials, and a larger infotainment screen in the top variants. Exterior design changes have not yet been revealed, but the engine lineup will remain the same.
