Mahindra has commenced its road testing of a new vehicle platform that looks unflinchingly like the new Bolero. There had been reports of how the car would be based on a new platform that can adapt to different powertrains and would be revealed soon on August 15. A slew of spy shots from team BHP have revealed a heavily camouflaged test mule, hinting at significant changes in design, proportions and underpinnings of the vehicle. A recent image has further revealed the front look of the new Mahindra Bolero.
A test mule speculated to be the new age Bolero was spotted testing a few days back as well , but the images were not clear. This time around the images are clearer and showcase the cars rear section in much more detail. Images were shared by a user by the name of Puntolover on Team BHP platform.
The Bolero could possibly be the first vehicle that could be based on the all-new flexible architecture the (NFA) Platform. This new Platform would further underpin a wide range of petrol, diesel and Hybrid variants that would help Mahindra to expand its lineup with a slew of new vehicles. The overall profile of the vehicle appears boxy and muscular with squared off bold proportions. Spy images have further revealed that the car would have circular LED’s up front and Horizontal tail lamps vertically positioned at the rear, The overall design closely mimics a boxy appeals and accommodate a spare wheel mount at the rear.
The Butch appeal and the circular headlights that were seen in the front has coaxed the users to comment how the car mimics the design of the new Land Rover Defender and the G wagon. Such comments often circulate when test mules are spotted, maybe in the future clearer images of the front façade would be revealed too. The doors and fenders would have pronounced creases and panels. The car would be based on a completely new platform, a monocoque chassis and the new architecture would probably support ICE, Hybrid and Electric Powertrains. The changes would help Mahindra unify future vehicular development for global and Indian markets.
Expected Powertrains And Features
Mahindra has not revealed any technical details of the vehicle, but its possible that the vehicle would be offered with an updated diesel engine and possibly a petrol hybrid variant in the Future. Other features would include a modern infotainment screen, Power Windows and updated interiors along with ABS, Airbags and improved crash safety. The Launch of the all new Bolero is expected to take place in 2026. The car would be updated with new features and better exterior updates as well. The new front images have showcased the looks of the test mule and how it would resemble the G-63 G-wagon seems pretty evident now. If the same looks are carried over to the final version, the new car could very possibly become the budget G wagon.
