The Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus has made its debut as a stretched, 9-seater variant of the popular Bolero Neo, designed to cater to larger families and commercial users seeking ample space. This new model has various improvements and contrasts from its smaller version establishing it as a realistic option in the utility vehicle category. Here's the top features of Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus
Design and Dimensions
The Bolero Neo Plus retains the sturdy, boxy charm of the standard Bolero Neo but extends its dimensions to accommodate more passengers. The SUV measures 4400 mm in length, offering an additional 405 mm over the Bolero Neo, while the width and height remain unchanged at 1795 mm and 1812 mm respectively. It sports a slightly modified front bumper and revised taillights, maintaining the rugged aesthetic with a chrome-slatted grille and newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels. Available in Napoli Black, Majestic Silver, and Diamond White, the Bolero Neo Plus also serves a dual purpose as a Type B ambulance.
Interior Layout and Comfort
Inside, the Bolero Neo Plus features a beige and black dual-tone dashboard with silver accents around the AC vents and center console. The interior is more spacious, thanks to a 2+3+4 seating arrangement that includes jump seats behind the second row, maximizing the capacity for passengers or cargo.
Features and Technology
The SUV is equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports USB and Bluetooth connectivity but lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other amenities include a 6-speaker audio system, steering-mounted controls, front armrest, height-adjustable driver’s seat, front and rear power windows, 12V charging ports, and remote key entry.
Safety Equipment
On the safety front, the Bolero Neo Plus is fitted with ABS with EBD, dual front airbags, electronic stability control, reverse parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat mounts, ensuring safety is a priority.
Engine and Performance
The Bolero Neo Plus is driven by a powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine that produces 120 PS and 280 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Unlike the smaller Bolero Neo, it does not feature a mechanical locking differential and does not offer an automatic transmission option.
Pricing and Competition

All prices are ex-showroom. In addition to competing with other seven-seaters such as its sibling, the Bolero Neo Plus, it offers a reliable, body-on-frame substitute for more urban small SUVs such as the Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, and Kia Sonet.
Bolero Neo Plus is a very appealing option for both home and business use because of its special blend of practicality, toughness, and spaciousness.
