Mahindra Bolero Diesel ZLX

About

The Mahindra Bolero Diesel ZLX is a 7-seater SUV known for its rugged and simple design. It features the m2DiCR engine, a 2523 cc, 4-cylinder turbo diesel unit that produces 63 hp at 3200 rpm and 195 Nm of torque between 1400-2200 rpm. The vehicle is built on a body-on-frame construction, which provides it with the necessary strength and ground clearance to handle rough roads effectively. The ZLX variant comes with several features such as a voice messaging system, driver information system, rear washer and wiper, and central remote locking. However, it lacks modern safety features in older models, though newer BS6 versions have addressed this. The Bolero is praised for its ease of driving, especially in city traffic, due to its tall seating and excellent visibility. Despite some drawbacks like underpowered performance on highways and subpar NVH levels, the Bolero remains a popular choice for its practicality, durability, and strong resale value.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra Bolero Diesel ZLX is a robust and practical vehicle that has its strengths and weaknesses. On the positive side, it offers a strong, abuse-friendly build and a body-on-frame construction, making it durable and suitable for rough Indian roads. The m2DiCR engine provides good driveability, fuel economy, and reliability, especially in low and mid-range performance. The vehicle also boasts excellent visibility, ample ground clearance, and a powerful AC, which are significant advantages. However, it falls short in terms of power, particularly when fully loaded, and its expressway performance is below par. The lack of modern safety features like airbags and ABS in older models (though BS6 models have these) and the subpar NVH levels are notable drawbacks. Despite these, the Boleros strong resale value, easier maintenance, and Mahindras extensive after-sales network make it a viable option for those seeking a no-frills, utilitarian SUV.

Price

The Mahindra Bolero Diesel ZLX is priced competitively in the Indian market. As of the previous data, the ex-showroom price in Mumbai was around Rs. 6.94 lakhs. However, prices can vary depending on the location and any updates or revisions. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from Rs. 8 to 9 lakhs, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Bolero an attractive option for those looking for a 7-seater SUV at a price comparable to mid-size hatchbacks and entry-level sedans. Its important to check current prices at local dealerships for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
