So why did the police force choose the TUV300 over all the other options?

That could be down to the modular nature of the TUV300. Mahindra is probably easier to outfit with police gear, and probably offers customization for law enforcement.
Does the TUV300's design make sense or is it trying too hard to be unique?

I believe it's refreshingly different. The TUV300's boxy design stands out in sea of curvy crossovers. It has that old school SUV charm that you don't find anymore.

Nah, it's just ugly. Mahindra tried too hard to make it look tough, and what we’re left with is a refrigerator on wheels. When function over form goes wrong.

It's actually a pretty practical design. It’s boxy, which maximizes interior space, and has high seating position, which offers good visibility. It's not built to win beauty contests, it's built for purpose.

I'd say it's a bit of both. Its unique design will help it stand out, and that is good for brand recognition. Some elements — like the teeny rear windows — look like a case of style over substance.

You definitely have to learn to like it. That's not necessarily bad, though. It’s something that attracts buyers who want something different. Not all of us want our car to look like every other car on the road.

It's a polarizing design, but that's the idea. It's geared towards people who want a rugged, no nonsense vehicle. It’s not a sleek city SUV trying to be.

Mahindra, I thought, missed the mark. Tough and utilitarian were the goal, but what they landed on is something that looks dated right out of the gate. It’s trying too hard to be different.
Can the TUV300’s rear wheel drive setup get the better of front wheel drive competitors?
27 December 2024 11:43
Absolutely! The TUV300’s RWD setup provides it with better traction when loaded. It's great for carrying things around or taking it off road. When you're pushing it, you really feel the difference.
Can the TUV300’s rear wheel drive setup get the better of front wheel drive competitors?
27 December 2024 11:43
Frankly, for the most part, it does not matter. But the average TUV300 buyer won't notice any difference between RWD and FWD in day to day driving. The real advantage is more of a talking point.
Can the TUV300’s rear wheel drive setup get the better of front wheel drive competitors?
27 December 2024 11:43
It's a double-edged sword. RWD is a lot cooler for enthusiasts; better weight distribution, but it’s less fuel efficient and can be a bit trickier in the wet. I'm not sure it’s the best choice for a family SUV.

For a car in this segment the RWD setup is overkill. It complicates and can lead to maintenance problems further down the line. But Mahindra should have continued to use FWD for better efficiency.

27 December 2024 11:43
It makes the TUV300 a unique selling proposition, I feel. In a market where everything feels the same, being RWD is different. Those looking for more authentic SUV might be attracted by it.
Can the TUV300’s rear wheel drive setup get the better of front wheel drive competitors?
27 December 2024 11:43
Mahindra’s a smart move. The RWD setup is better for modularity – they will be able to use the same platform for pickups and other utility vehicles. It's thinking ahead.

The RWD setup may be an advantage for Indian road conditions, especially in rural areas. It rides the rough roads better when loaded and has better traction on loose surfaces. It’s a practical choice for people in its target market.
Is the TUV300 worthy of being the new Bolero?
27 December 2024 11:43
No way, man. That’s why the Bolero is a legend. It’s simple, rugged and easy to fix. Instead, the TUV300 tries to be too fancy and loses that raw appeal that the Bolero enjoyed.
Is the TUV300 worthy of being the new Bolero?
27 December 2024 11:43
I believe it’s a good evolution. While the Bolero is tough as nails, the TUV300 keeps the spirit intact, but with modern safety features and comfort. That's what the Bolero would be if you designed it today.
Is the TUV300 worthy of being the new Bolero?
27 December 2024 11:43
They are going after different markets. While the Bolero is still the king in rural areas, the TUV300 is for semi urban buyers looking for a robust vehicle without being too basic. This is not about succession, it is about expanding the lineup.
Is the TUV300 worthy of being the new Bolero?
27 December 2024 11:43
The TUV300 misses the point. The Bolero was a success because it was simple and reliable. The TUV300 tries to modernize a bit too much and loses that core appeal. It is trying to please everyone and not pleasing anyone.
Is the TUV300 worthy of being the new Bolero?
27 December 2024 11:43
I would call it a spiritual successor but not a direct one. It's the essence of what made the Bolero great – toughness and practicality – but packaged for a new generation. It's a natural evolution.
