B6 (O) [2020-2025](Diesel)
6 month of rchased the Mahindra Bolero, and it has been a reliable and rugged companion for daily drives and occasional long trips. The 2.5-liter m2DiCR diesel engine delivers excellent low-end torque, making it perfect for city traffic and rough rural roads. Its sturdy build quality and high ground clearance ensure it can handle uneven terrains effortlessly.
The interiors are simple yet practical, offering good space and comfort for passengers. The large boot space is a plus for family trips or transporting goods. While the features are basic compared to modern SUVs, it offers essentials like power steering and an easy-to-read instrument cluster, ensuring functionality over luxury.
When compared to competitors like the Tata Sumo Gold or Force Gurkha, the Bolero stands out for its affordability, durability, and low maintenance costs. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a tough, no-nonsense vehicle with long-term reliability.

With a reliable engine and spacious interior, the Mahindra Bolero is perfect for family outings. The fuel efficiency is impressive, and the manual transmission provides a smooth drive. Ground clearance is ideal for rough terrains, and its safety features, including airbags, offer peace of mind.

After two years nothing to say any negtive for Bolero
4.0
B6 (O) [2020-2025](Diesel)
have been been useing the Mahindra Bolero for two years now. It’s rugged and handles rough roads with ease, but the interior features are quite basic. The engine is durable, but not as smooth for long highway drives. Comfort is acceptable for short trips, but the suspension is stiff, making longer drives a bit uncomfortable. It’s dependable for tough conditions but not ideal for everyday city use. providing good ground clearance and ample boot space, making it suitable for longer journeys. While the engine delivers decent performance, the manual transmission isn’t the smoothest. Suspension does the job, but comfort could be improved for city rides.

Its suited to Indian roads

B4 [2020-2025](Diesel)
Mahindra Bolero is strong with a fuel-efficient engine The car's suspension irons out the roughest roads and a spacious interior combined with a decent amount of luggage space make it ideal for long trips. It was macho and reasonably tall so more suited to Indian roads. Bolero on the other hands is a subcompact SUV and has been clearing offered with great ground clearance along with engine performance making it an apt choice both for city as well as off-road driving. Despite the showy exterior design, and riding on a pretty stiff-handling suspension, you get all that in a car that rides as if its on air bags. It comes at reasonable prices in terms of maintenance, so it offers good value for money.

B4 [2020-2025](Diesel)
m using bolero from last 2 yesr now The Mahindra Bolero offers great space and reliable engine performance, making it a solid choice for rural areas. However, its suspension can feel stiff on rough roads. The styling is rugged, but fuel efficiency isn’t as high as some other subcompact SUVs. Maintenance costs are moderate.

B6 [2020-2025](Diesel)
I’ve had the Mahindra Bolero for over a year now, and it’s a mixed bag. The engine is reliable and strong, perfect for rough roads, but it feels a bit underpowered on highways. The interior space is decent but lacks modern featres. The ride quality can be rough on uneven roads, and the susspension could be better. It’s great for rugged use, but not the best for daily city driving.

Bolero is a nice SUV, spacious and durable. Could use more power for highway driving, Overall, Bolero is a good buy. Great features, but the seats could be more comfortable. Love the rugged design and durability of the Bolero. However, the mileage in city traffic could be better.

I for somehow like this product, and whether it got what it takes to don the Bolero badge, only time and ownership experiences would tell. Sure it won't win design contests in the looks department, but there's something about that boxy look that would make you detest and like it at the same time. It looks purpose built, kind of an indestructible and tough as nails vehicle ready to tackle rural country which is where it would spend much of it's time, I believe.

The outgoing Bolero was much more 'butch-styled' and looked rugged. I feel the M&M engineers picked a bit more inspiration from their own TUV than what should have been optimal. I really wish Mahindra added android auto, apple CarPlay and a rear camera (even if the image quality is crappy). I mean why include a touch screen and not use it? This car ticks a lot of boxes for me. I can live without the ACC or rear AC vents. However given how convenient android auto is, the lack of it is a glaring omission in my books.

The 3 cylinder engine may sound boring on the paper, but trust me it has enough grunt to pull 5 adults + 2 children and their luggage on roof and still maintain it's character at 100+ speeds. Even though a more refined 4 cylinder engine would have made a great difference. Space wise and road presence wise it is a monster. No other vehicle in it's segment can beat it. Just a name change will not make much difference to this vehicle.

Rugged, diesel powered, clattery (in a good sense), unrefined, private vehicles will very soon be a thing of the past. What with the advent of eerly silent EVs and Mild hybrids, what will be missed is the certain "feel" and "fun factor" driving torquey, rugged and clattery (I call that diesel roar) diesels. Not that I am against EVs, but there is a certain place in my heart for the roar of the engine and the ruggedness which the new generation will miss.

Robust, abuse-friendly build & body-on-frame construction. A typical Mahindra UV in every way. Love it or hate it design Clean, simple and boxy. Tall seating, excellent visibility and narrow footprint make driving, a bit easier. Ample ground clearance is helpful in tackling rough roads. Bolero is reasonably cheap to maintain when compared to present-day BOF MUVs and SUVs. There is something about the body-line and proportions of this car that has had me give a 2nd look every time I see one on the road.

I have been using Bolero GLX for the last 12 years. Due to an operated spine, Its one amongst very few vehicles in which i feel comfortable. Over the last few years I have also turned claustrophobic and suffer from respiratory problems. It didn't let me down here either. Plenty of fresh air always ready to greet you with good view of the road, never ever gives you a 'sunk in' feeling whether you are driving or seated back, all this makes you extremely comfortable. Driving within 60 to 70 km speed range with judicious braking, you can get the best out of this member of your family. Ideal for Long distance journey. Its a car, its an SUV. It has been my greatest companion all these years. Greatest and enduring help came when I took her along during my 5 year stint with pilot training schools in Maharashtra and madhya pradesh. It carried everything of mine. right from a gas stove to a mop. It now helps me traverse through the rugged, stony river beds of Beas and Chakki Rivers of Punjab Himachal sometimes wading through gushing waters to reach my scattered farmlands. A once in 6 months thorough check up by your mechanic by sitting close-by (on a chair) to watch over the proceedings, is another delight for a farmer and off-roader. And believe you me; It cements your relationship, both with the mechanic and most importantly with your vehicle. And that in fact is the key to get the best out of your 'mechanical better half'.
Suggestion for M and M: Same Body shape I repeat same body shape with extremely tough bumpers, with better chassis if possible, ABS, EBD, efficient hand-brake, lumbar support seats and audio controls on the steering wheel will definitely extend her dominance in the Indian market.

I have used many mahindra vehicles. Currently using Bolero Zlx. It serves me good. It works really excellent for a marketing person like me particularly in rural roads. The only biggest issue is very minimum leg space in the middle seat. This is a small problem but irritates many times, when go with family or colleagues.
Regarding service side, I am not happy with the any of the service centers in Chennai. Better buy the vehicle with minimum service tenure and look for a genuine service station nearby you who does service for all types of suvs and start giving the vehicle their.

Both the Mahindra Bolero and Bolero Neo have been updated for the festive season with some cosmetic changes and a handful of feature updates, which make them a bit more appealing to customers.
This is the lowest rating a Mahindra passenger vehicle has received under the #SaferCarsForIndia initiative since the Scorpio’s zero-star performance in 2016.
