Would you daily drive a New Bolero in the city?

by @ashutosh.kumarover 1 year ago0 views7 answers
The New Bolero has traditionally been a rural vehicle and a vehicle meant for rugged terrain, but it's now going through updates to make it more appealing to a wider audience and some are thinking about it as a daily driver in the cities. It also gives rise to questions about the vehicle's suitability for city use, as limited maneuverability in traffic, ease of parking, fuel efficiency in stop–go situations, and in general, comfort for daily commutes are all factors. A Bolero's sturdy build and high seating position could work well for chaotic city traffic but its lack of some of today's conveniences may deter some urban drivers. A debate on the balance between practical utility and modern comfort features, as well as the statement that might be made driving a vehicle often associated with rural areas in an urban setting. Along with this, it also brings up conversations about how the perceptions of what makes a good city vehicle in India is changing as the country’s automotive landscape evolves.

I actually drive the Bolero daily in the city and I love it. It’s not the most convenient, but it’s reliable and I never worry about bad roads or flooding.

It depends on the city. In a smaller town with less traffic, sure. But in Mumbai or Delhi? No way, those are too cumbersome for those tight spaces and constant jams.

I'd love to daily a Bolero in the city! The looks you'd get pulling up to this beast. With the steering of a tank in a parking lot of toy cars.

Daily drive? No. Weekend car for escaping the city? Absolutely! While not refined enough for everyday use, it’s perfect for weekend getaways.

But only if I had a really short commute I would. Although it's not the most fuel efficient option for long city drives, the ruggedness of it could be an advantage for short trips.

Why not? It's tough, it has a good road presence and you'll never have to worry about potholes or speed bumps. It's different than the sea of hatchbacks and compact SUVs, plus.

Absolutely not. It’s too big, too thirsty and too basic for city use. For daily driving, I need something more efficient and more comfortable.
