Is the Bolero's fuel efficiency underrated?
27 December 2024 05:23
No way, dude. Today’s engines are much more efficient. A well maintained old Bolero can, sure, but it's not going to come close to the fuel tech in new cars. Physics doesn't lie.

You're both right and wrong. It all depends on how and where you drive. In rural stop start traffic, Bolero probably wins, but on the highway, it loses. It's all about the use case.

Longevity is getting forgotten about by everyone. The modern day SUVs are likely to have issues long before a Bolero will stop running fine and working efficiently. That's also a kind of efficiency.

The real question is about whether the absence of features and comfort justifies fuel efficiency. I’d rather have a nicer car that’s a little thirstier and nicer to drive daily.
Why also does Mahindra keep the Bolero's interior so basic when the vehicle is so popular?
27 December 2024 05:23
All it is is the target market, man. Bolero buyers do not care about fancy interiors. What they need is a tough, no nonsense vehicle that will stand up to a beating. They would just add plush seats and touchscreens, to drive up the cost for features they don't need.

I disagree. Rural buyers, too, appreciate some basic comforts. The interior is just not being updated by Mahindra, they are being lazy and cheap. It wouldn't hurt to have a few modern touches that may even expand its appeal.

Both of you are missing the point. And the Bolero is so reliable because of the basic interior. Less electronics and fancy bits equals less to breakdown. This is not a luxury car. It is a workhorse.

Mahindra is in a tough spot, I think. I'm sure they would love to update it, but they're scared to lose their core customers who have been using it like it is. That’s a classic innovator’s dilemma.

You guys seen the Bolero Neo? That's Mahindra's answer to the debate. Provide the die hards with the old Bolero and a more modern version for those who want it. Smart move, if you ask me.
Is the perception that the Mahindra Bolero is an unsafe vehicle, or is it actually?
27 December 2024 05:23
The Bolero may not be winning any safety awards, but it's not a death trap. This is a solid build, and it can take a beating that would total smaller cars. Sometimes simple is safer.

Are you kidding? Base models, no airbags, no ABS - that’s not just unsafe, that’s irresponsible in 2024. Safety doesn't come from being tough. It requires a serious safety upgrade.

You're both making it too simple. It’s not just about features, it’s about how the vehicle behaves in a crash. Anyone seen actual crash test results for the Bolero? That's what we should be seeing.

We are forgetting the conditions that these are used in. The Bolero's design may actually be safer than a modern city car in rural areas where roads are bad and there are no highways. Context matters.

The real problem is that Mahindra is getting a pass on old safety standards. They need to step up and do the basics of safety without jacking up price too much. If they really wanted to do it, then it's possible.
Is the Mahindra XEV 9e’s 200 km/h top speed realistic or just for show?
26 December 2024 09:06
This is totally for bragging rights. How are you hitting 200 km/h on Indian roads anyway? It's like having a supercomputer to read your email.

Typically the better all around performance comes from a higher top speed. It’s about being able to go 200 km/h, but not actually going 200 km/h, so that you can cruise the highway more smoothly.

It's a safety feature! This means if you need to you can quickly accelerate out of a dangerous situation. It is better to have it and not to need it, than need it and not have it.

Waste of battery capacity. They should have concentrated on range rather than top speed. More practical to use everyday.

It's future-proofing. The car will continue to be relevant as infrastructure gets better and maybe speed limits increase.

Great for resale value. Even if people never use their car's top speed, they love to brag about it.
