The Mahindra TUV300 arrived in 2015 and was the automaker’s early attempt at cracking in the subcompact SUV segment. The company did all the right moves by making it brawny, muscular, competitively priced and more. But, the TUV300 has been an average success at best, even as the overall segment picked up, while Mahindra too introduced the XUV300 to take on the premium rivals. The company is now calling the TUV 300, the Bolero Neo and its not just a facelift.
The new ‘Bolero Neo’.Available at all Mahindra dealerships across India from today, the new Bolero Neo is launched at an introductory price of ₹ 8.48 Lakh (Ex-Showroom Price, All India) for the N4 variant. With the launch of Bolero Neo, the Bolero SUV portfolio would now have the existing Bolero for the loyalist and the new Bolero Neo for the evolving customer who is looking for an SUV that is tough, authentic, go-anywhere capability yet modern and trendy.
Veejay Nakra, Chief Executive Officer, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd., said, “The Bolero brand has witnessed strong loyalty and ruled Indian roads for over two decades now. With this product we have combined the customers’ affinity towards brand Bolero with their modern outlook, persona and aspirations. The design, performance and engineering enhancements in the new Bolero Neo blend well with the authentic Bolero DNA, making it suitable for the bold and fearless Young Bharat. The addition of Bolero Neo to the Bolero SUV brand portfolio will help us retain Bolero amongst the top 10 selling SUV’s in the country.”
Packed with new design, premium interiors crafted by Italian automotive designer Pininfarina, comfortable cabin and safety technology such as standard dual airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake distribution (EBD) and cornering brake control (CBC) and ISOfix child seat. It is built on 3rd generation chassis shared with Scorpio & Thar and it comes with the proven Mahindra mHawk engine.
Velusamy R, Chief of Global Product Development, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd., said, “Built on the third-generation chassis which it shares with the Scorpio and Thar, the Bolero Neo has powerful attributes that set it apart. Its rugged body-on-frame construction, the proven Mahindra mHawk diesel engine and Multi Terrain Technology give Bolero Neo the ability and confidence to conquer rough terrain.
