Mahindra Bolero Neo

Introduction

Mahindra launched the brand-new Bolero Neo in the country in July 2021. It is available in three variants currently - the N4, N8 and N10. Meanwhile, the N10 (O) variant will be launched soon.

Exterior

The Bolero Neo is a redesigned version of the TUV 300 which was discontinued almost a year ago. The Bolero Neo gets a new grille that resembles the previous generation Bolero grille. Additionally, Mahindra offers a set of halogen headlights with DRLs (limited to the N10 (O) variant) while the rear end features halogen taillights, a wiper, a spoiler, a spare tyre with an X-shaped cover, parking sensors and a reversing camera. Moreover, it comes with 15-inch alloy wheels. Meanwhile, the ABS with EBD and dual front airbags are offered as standard equipment in all the variants.

Interior

The all-new Bolero Neo now gets a seven-inch infotainment system with Bluetooth smartphone integration. However, it still retains an analogue instrument cluster which now comes with a small digital multi-information display. Furthermore, this cabin gets a dual-tone theme - Beige and Black. Other features include cruise control, a multifunctional steering wheel, a 12V socket, a USB and AUX port. This SUV can accommodate up to seven passengers including the driver.

Engine and Transmission

Mahindra has updated its engine to meet the BS6 norms. The 1.5-litre inline three-cylinder mHawk 100 diesel engine is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox which channels all the power to the rear axle. It makes 100bhp and 260Nm of torque. A locking differential is offered on the N 10 (O) variants – called MTT – which can provide more grip in slippery surface conditions.
