Mahindra & Mahindra has quietly rolled out a new special edition of its Bolero Neo SUV, and it’s got a fresh vibe. Called the Bolero Neo Bold Edition, this version isn’t about changing what’s under the hood—it’s all about style. If you’re into dark themes and sporty looks, this new edition might just be your thing.
Styling
Right off the bat, the most noticeable change is the new Napoli Black exterior paint. This rich, deep black makes the SUV look more aggressive and modern. But it doesn’t stop there. Mahindra has taken the chrome accents you usually find on the Bolero Neo and given them a dark chrome makeover to match the rest of the exterior.
The Bold Edition also gets stylish roof rails that don’t just sit there—they actually add a sporty character to the whole setup. So if you’re someone who loves their SUV to look rugged and ready, this edition delivers.
Interior
Step inside and you’ll find that the all-black theme continues. The seats are wrapped in black upholstery that matches the mood set by the exterior. And for added comfort, Mahindra has thrown in a rear-view camera and a comfort kit. This kit includes black neck cushions and soft pillows, making longer drives a bit more pleasant.
It’s clear Mahindra wants this version of the Bolero Neo to feel more premium without completely changing its DNA. The blacked-out treatment adds a sleek, almost urban vibe to what is otherwise a tough utility vehicle.
Performance
Now, for those wondering about what’s under the hood—nothing has changed. The Bold Edition continues to use the same reliable 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine. It pumps out 98bhp and 260Nm of torque, and comes mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
No automatic gearbox, no AWD—just the same dependable drivetrain that Bolero Neo fans have come to trust. And yes, the ladder-frame construction and tough build are still very much part of the package.
Features
Here’s a quick look at what makes the Bold Edition stand out from the standard model:
| Feature | Bold Edition |
|---|---|
| Exterior Colour | Napoli Black |
| Chrome Treatment | Dark Chrome |
| Roof Rails | Yes |
| Rear-View Camera | Included |
| Comfort Kit (Cushions) | Included |

So while it doesn’t offer any mechanical upgrades, Mahindra has positioned the Bold Edition to attract buyers who want a bit more style with their substance.
Seating
Just like the regular Bolero Neo, the Bold Edition is a seven-seater SUV. It sticks with the side-facing jump seats in the third row. This setup may not be everyone’s favorite for long journeys, but it does offer flexibility when you need to fit in more passengers on short trips.
Availability
The Mahindra Bolero Neo Bold Edition will be available at authorized dealerships across India. It’ll be sold alongside the standard Bolero Neo lineup, giving customers more choice without altering the fundamentals. Whether you’re buying it for rural runs or urban duties, the Bold Edition adds some visual spice without changing the winning formula.
In a nutshell, this edition is for those who like their SUV tough but with a touch of flair. It doesn’t scream for attention—it commands it.
