This is the first time since its launch in 2021 that the SUV has been caught with changes to its design. The sighting suggests that Mahindra is working on a facelifted version that could reach showrooms soon. With subtle updates outside and some expected new features inside the popular sub 4m SUV is gearing up for its next chapter<\/span><\/p> <h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A Quick Recap: Mahindra Bolero Neo\u2019s Journey<\/span><\/b><\/h2> <p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Back in July 2021 Mahindra introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/mahindra-cars\/bolero-neo\">Bolero Neo<\/a> as a refreshed and rebadged version of the TUV300. The aim was to merge the rugged appeal of the Bolero brand with a more city friendly SUV design. Since then the Bolero Neo has stayed largely the same, without any major updates. Now, with the facelift in development, Mahindra seems ready to bring something fresh to the table.<\/span><\/p> <h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What Did The Spy Shots Reveal?<\/span><\/b><\/h2> <p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The test vehicle of the updated Mahindra Bolero Neo was heavily camouflaged at the front but certain design changes were still visible<\/span><\/p> <p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59358\" src=\"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-14.webp\" alt=\"Bolero Neo Facelift Spied Front grill\" width=\"1440\" height=\"720\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-14.webp 1440w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-14-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-14-1024x512.webp 1024w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-14-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-14-150x75.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p> <p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">New Front Grille<\/span><\/b><\/p> <ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <li data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The biggest update is the redesigned grille<\/span><\/li> <li data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instead of the current honeycomb pattern with vertical slats, the facelift gets horizontal bars stretching from one headlamp to the other<\/span><\/li> <li data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This small tweak gives the SUV a wider and bolder appearance<\/span><\/li> <\/ul> <p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Bumper And Air Intakes<\/span><\/b><\/p> <ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <li data-aria-posinset=\"6\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The lower bumper design has also been revised<\/span><\/li> <li data-aria-posinset=\"7\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The honeycomb mesh used earlier for the air intake has now been replaced with clean horizontal elements, in line with the grille<\/span><\/li> <\/ul> <p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Headlamps And Fog Lamps<\/span><\/b><\/p> <ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <li data-aria-posinset=\"8\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The spotted test model still had halogen headlights and fog lamps<\/span><\/li> <li data-aria-posinset=\"9\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There is no sign yet of LED headlamps, although Mahindra might offer them in higher trims when the production version rolls out<\/span><\/li> <\/ul> <p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Side And Alloy Wheels<\/span><\/b><\/p> <p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59357\" src=\"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-12.webp\" alt=\"Bolero Neo Facelift Spied Testing Allow side view\" width=\"1440\" height=\"720\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-12.webp 1440w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-12-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-12-1024x512.webp 1024w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-12-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/caronphone.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/02-12-150x75.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p> <ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <li data-aria-posinset=\"10\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The side profile remains largely familiar, with the signature black strip running across the body \u2014 a design element often associated with the Bolero family<\/span><\/li> <li data-aria-posinset=\"11\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The mule was riding on 15-inch silver alloy wheels, the same as the current model.
