Pros Cons of Mahindra Bolero

Pros

  • Soft suspension suited to rough roads
  • Simple mechanical layout
  • Affordable entry price

Verdict

The Mahindra Bolero is based on function over fashion. The recent updates enhance the equipment and comfort a little bit, but the core character remains the same. It still suits buyers who consider toughness, ability to carry loads and mechanical simplicity more important than touchscreen size or driving dynamics. The ride is still compliant, the engine has usable torque at low speeds, and maintenance is comparatively inexpensive.

If your usage is mainly urban and you are looking for a more polished experience, the Bolero Neo makes a better case. But if you are looking for a traditional, no-nonsense SUV that has earned its reputation over the past 25 years, the Bolero still justifies its existence in the Indian market.

Seshan Vijayraghvan sums it up clearly in our review:

“This is still a utilitarian SUV. The layout hasn't changed much, and Mahindra has kept it that way since that's what Bolero buyers expect.”
