Mahindra Bolero Maxx (2026) Price & Specs
The Mahindra Bolero Maxx has arrived in South Africa, with all 3 derivatives offered in a single-cab dropside body style. Here’s what the Indian-built bakkie costs in SA…
- Bolero Maxx offers choice of payload capacities
- Single-cab dropside body style comes standard
- Pricing for Maxx starts at just under R200 000
Mahindra South Africa has officially launched the Bolero Maxx range, with all 3 derivatives offered in a single-cab dropside bakkie body style. The Maxx-badged model replaces the standard Bolero and gives local buyers a choice of 3 payload capacities.
As a reminder, the single outgoing Bolero derivative used a 46 kW/195 Nm 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine, offered a payload of 1 150 kg and was priced at R215 999. In contrast, the new line-up comprises a trio of derivatives at launch.
The Bolero Maxx 2.5Di City 1.3 4×2 5MT is priced at R199 000, with its 2.5-litre oil-burner delivering 52 kW and 200 Nm to the rear axle via a 5-speed manual gearbox. As you might have gleaned from its name, this entry-level variant has a payload of 1 300 kg.
Meanwhile, the Bolero Maxx 2.5Di City 1.5 4×2 5MT employs the same powertrain but features a carrying capacity of 1 500 kg, with its price increasing to R229 000. Finally, the Bolero Maxx 2.5Di HD 1.7 4×2 5MT costs R259 000, but is rated to carry 1 700 kg, with its engine’s outputs upgraded to 60 kW and 220 Nm.
Interestingly, the 3 derivatives feature different load-bay lengths (and indeed wheelbase and vehicle lengths): 2 500 mm for 1.3 City, 2 640 mm for the 1.5 City and 3 050 mm metres for the 1.7 HD. Claimed fuel consumption is 5.9 L/100 km in each case, while the flagship variant has a larger fuel tank, upgrading from a 45-litre item to a 60-litre tank.
All derivatives feature cloth seats in what the Indian brand describes as a “driver-plus-2” configuration, with the pews on the mid- and top-spec variants furthermore gaining “a stain-resistant coating for enhanced durability”.
