Can I buy and import Mahindra Bolero Attitude and how much does it cost and what are the import duties to South Africa.
17 April 2025 23:00

The Mahindra Bolero Attitude is not a model commonly available for import or sale in South Africa. The Mahindra Bolero models available in South Africa are primarily the Maxi Truck, Single Cab, and Double Cab variants. If you were to import a Mahindra Bolero Attitude, you would need to navigate through complex customs and import regulations, including duties that can range from 20% to 30% of the vehicle's value, plus additional taxes such as VAT and ad valorem duties. The cost of the vehicle itself would depend on the source country and market price, but import duties and other costs could significantly increase the overall expense.

The Bolero Camper 4x4 comes with a comprehensive warranty of 3 years or 1 lakh kilometers, whichever is earlier. Additionally, it benefits from easy maintenance and a vast network of over 3000 service outlets, ensuring robust after-sales support.

Can you elaborate on the towing capabilities of the Bolero Camper 4x4 for heavy loads?
17 April 2025 17:30

The Mahindra Bolero Camper 4x4, while robust and capable, does not have explicitly stated towing capabilities in the provided specifications. However, it is equipped with a strong m2DiCR 2.5L TB, DI Turbo charged engine producing 59.7 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque, which suggests it can handle significant loads. The vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight of 2735 kg and a payload capacity of 940 kg for the 4x4 variant, indicating its ability to manage heavy loads. The 4x4 option enhances its traction and stability, making it suitable for challenging terrains and heavy load transportation, although specific towing capacity figures are not provided.

Is the Bolero Camper 4x4 suitable for regions with extreme weather conditions?
17 April 2025 17:16

The Mahindra Bolero Camper 4x4, while capable in off-road conditions due to its 4x4 axle configuration and 185mm ground clearance, may have limitations in regions with extreme weather conditions. It lacks advanced features such as ABS, hill hold, and fog lights, which could be crucial in harsh weather. However, its robust engine producing 59.7kW of power and 200 Nm of torque, along with its rigid axle suspension, can handle rough terrain. The vehicle's build and specifications suggest it is more suited for rugged off-road use rather than extreme weather conditions like heavy snow, flooding, or extreme temperatures.

What kind of maintenance schedule should I follow for the Bolero Camper 4x4?
17 April 2025 17:16

**Engine Oil:** Check the engine oil level every week, ensuring it is between the high and low marks on the dipstick. Top up with the recommended "MAXIMILE FEO V2" or equivalent API CH-4 SAE 15W-40 oil. Change the engine oil every 5,000 to 6,000 km, and replace the oil filter at the same interval[4>.

**Cooling System:** Maintain the coolant level, using "MAHINDRA MAXIMILE ULTRA COOL" or equivalent JIS K-2234 specification coolant. Check and top up the coolant every 10,000 km[3>.

**Air Filter:** Clean the air filter element every 10,000 km on paved roads or every 5,000 km on dusty roads. Replace the air filter element every 40,000 km or when the service indicator shows a red band[4>.

**Brakes and Clutch:** Check the brake fluid level every 10,000 km and replace it every 30,000 km or 2 years. Use "MAHINDRA MAXIMILE DOT 3" brake fluid or equivalent SAE J1703 FMVSS NO.116 DOT 3 specification[4>.

**Tyres:** Maintain the recommended tyre pressure and check it weekly. Rotate the tyres every 10,000 km to ensure even wear[4>.

**Power Steering:** Check the power steering fluid level regularly and ensure the system is not operated without oil to avoid damage. Replace the power steering fluid as recommended[4>.

**Battery:** Disconnect the battery terminals when the vehicle is not in use, smear petroleum jelly on the terminals, and recharge the battery once a month[1>.

**General Checks:** Regularly inspect and top up other essential fluids, check for any leaks, and ensure all lights, horns, wipers, and washers are functioning properly. Also, inspect the suspension, steering, and brake components at specified intervals[4>.

**Service Intervals:** Follow the service schedule where the first two services at 5,000 km and 10,000 km are free, and subsequent services are paid, with costs varying based on the service center and location[5>.

I will hope that if they add an auto it's robust enough to do some off road. The go anywhere capability of the Bolero needs to be retained.

It’s just going to put an auto on it, and make it more expensive and more complex. Simple and reliable, the Bolero is fine as is.

If they do build an e-Bolero, it has to be as tough and as simple as the original. No fancy touchscreens or over-the-air updates.
