New Delhi. Mahindra is currently one of the best SUV manufacturers in India, as it specializes in the field. The brand has introduced such SUVs that come with a cabin filled with great rest, strong construction and technology. Bolero is one of the oldest SUVs in Mahindra, and the city has been quite capable of highway and off-road. Mahindra wants to update Bolero to give more comfort, technology and performance. Its price can be around Rs 10 lakh. Let’s know that the new generation Mahindra Bolero will offer some special information and what it will offer.
Mahindra will introduce an absolutely new platform on 15 August 2025, called New Flexible Architecture (NFA). This is a monocococh platform on which Mahindra is planning to make many upcoming SUVs the basis. New-generation Bolero will be created using this platform, and can be launched in 2026. So far Bolero uses a ladder-on-frame chassis. It is helpful for off-road, but does not give much rest on the road. The NFA platform is a multi-energy platform and will be compatible with all types of powertrains such as petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid.
Better driving experience
Mahindra will use its new Chakan plant to make cars around the NFA platform. The brand aims to achieve an annual capacity of 1.2 lakh NFA models. Scorpio, Thar, Bolero, Bolero Neo and Thar Roxx all use ladder-on-frame chassis. It is not best for driving in the city and does not give the best ride and handling balance. On the other hand, Mahindra XUV700 and XUV3xo use monocok chassis, which are more favorable on the road and provide more comfort and agility. The new NFA platform will replace most SUVs of Mahindra and provide a more road-focused ride and handling balance.
12 new SUVs
Mahindra is planning to introduce 12 and SUVs, out of which 7 will be vehicles (internal combustion engine), while other 5 EVs will be. Mahindra has already excelled with its latest EV line-up BE6 and XEV 9E and will continue to offer such products using the NFA platform. The brand aims to introduce these 12 SUVs by the end of 2030.
