Mahindra Bolero Review
Overview
Well, I’d tell you about the Mahindra Bolero, a rough beast that looks like it was made for Indian roads. This one is sound, practical, old school charm… if that’s the kind of thing you like. It’s been fun having some time with it, and it almost feels like that old, dependable buddy always down for any adventure, no matter how hairy the road is, or what the weather’s up to. Here’s what I think.
Design and Looks
It’s not trying to be fancy or modern, and that exactly what I like about it. The style is just this boxy, solid thing that sort of feels like it was built to take the bumps and bruises of real roads. Mahindra is known for the rugged vibe and there’s something about that muscular stance that really hits it. No shiny roundangles, no sporty bits or gimme name bits here. It’s about being tough and useful. I personally think that’s refreshing in a market where all of the cars are trying to look like nice little city slickers. Up front high stance, wide grille and a bold Mahindra badge look all perfectly serious on the road and best part is it doesn’t just look tough. It doesn’t matter how rocky a path it’s kicking up dust on, it’s equally at home on city streets.
Engine and Performance
On the inside, you have a 1.5L mHawk diesel engine that makes about 75 horsepower. Now, for the record, it’s not built for speed. It’s got enough power to attack rough roads, and can give you some workout with some pretty tough terrain. That’s when you really start to appreciate the torque it has – I took it over some seriously bumpy patches. This engine even has enough low end grunt to push you over the top, especially if you’re tackling uneven ground or a steep hill. Racing someone at a traffic light isn’t what it’s about, but it’s about strength and reliability. That, honestly, suits the Bolero perfectly. But it’s also surprisingly fuel efficient for a car its size. You also don’t feel like you’re pouring money into the fuel tank, even on a long drive.
Interior and Features
It’s all about functionality with a bit of comfort inside. Mahindra hasn’t made the Hotster plush—if nothing else, that’s good news at a time when many luxury vehicles make their interiors seem a bit too crowded with bells and whistles. It’s comfortable enough and the seats have a fair bit of legroom up front and middle. The dashboard? With its pleasant interface, controls are easily reachable with the whole lot straightforward. It comes with an infotainment system, but it’s quite simple compared to the infotainment systems you’ll find in some of the high-end SUVs on the market. Honestly for me the simplicity is a win. You want to be out there driving and your focus on the road, not playing with a million buttons. And the best part about the interior? This thing is built to last, so even if you beat the crap out of it it can handle it. With the Bolero, you don’t have to worry about every scratch or spill, and it does in a way add to the fun of sampling something new. The kind of thing that gets a little messy is a car like that.
Ride and Handling
That’s where the Bolero really excels—handling and ride quality, going down particularly well when driven over rougher roads. It’s not a smooth ride now, but that’s not the point. It’s tough for rugged footing, potholes, uneven terrain and whatever else you can stuff it through. That high stance does cause a touch of body roll but the steering is quick and the brakes do theirs. Honestly, the suspension is a hair on the stiff side, which is what you want when dealing with the sort of unpredictable surfaces you’re chasing here. I drove it through some traffic in the city; it’s a little bulky, but it’s managable. Except when you take it out of the city, that’s where the Bolero really shines. This gives you an elevated seating position that gets you a commanding view of the road and makes you well suited to detecting potholes or obstacles before you even get close.
Comparison and Verdict
If you’re looking at alternatives, the options are the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or the Tata Sumo. Of course the Ertiga is more comfortable and just a tad more refined, though the Sumo is very much the rugged, no thrills Bolero but the refinement is lacking. The Bolero feels like it’s built to last, but for me. It’s sturdy, reliable, and doesn’t need to wave his flashy hand to impress.
Would the Bolero get my recommendation? Certainly, assuming it’s going to be treated like shit, it’s going to get treated like shit. Not the one for everyone, but if you are the sort of who likes a car that is tough, durable and reliable — one you can throw just about anything at and it’ll keep going on — the Bolero is the one. It’s a sort of SUV you can trust to get you from the city or into the middle of nowhere.

Discussions and Questions Mahindra Bolero
Can I buy and import Mahindra Bolero Attitude and how much does it cost and what are the import duties to South Africa.
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.
What kind of warranty and after-sales support is provided for the Bolero Camper 4x4?
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?
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?
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?
**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>.
