Mahindra Bolero Luxury Camper | Everything You Need To Know

RVs or Recreational vehicles are not so common in India and are mostly as cinema stars and actors. For one, they are expensive and also, there aren’t many manufacturers in the Indian market. But that is about to change as the renowned carmaker Mahindra is in talks to launch an RV based on the Bolero. Mahindra Bolero Luxury Camper will come with all the basic amenities making it the go-to vehicle for Overlanding. So, let’s look at what this RV from Mahindra packs in this day and age.

1. What will the Mahindra Bolero Luxury Camper Have Inside?
   

   Like any other recreational vehicle in the market, the Mahindra Bolero Luxury Camper will come loaded with amenities on the inside. The Luxury Camper is anticipated to offer sitting, sleeping and dining for four individuals.

   Also, the RV might also have a shower, a kitchen equipped with a mini-refrigerator and microwave, and a restroom. A Genset might also make it into the RV to run the optional air-conditioner and infotainment system to keep the occupants comfortable.

2. Will Mahindra Manufacture this RV?
   

   

   As the base vehicle for the Luxury Camper is a Mahindra Bolero Gold Pickup, yes, Mahindra will provide the vehicle for further modifications. The Indian auto giant will co-develop and manufacture the RV with a caravan manufacturing facility.

   With that, the company has approached the International Centre for Clean Water (ICCW) for plumbing and waste disposal solutions. And Saint Gobain Research Center is developing the windows for the RV.

3. What does the Bolero Camper pack under its hood?
   

   As the RV underpins the Bolero Gold pickup, it comes with the same set of engines and power figures. Powering the RV is a 2.5-liter turbo diesel churning 76ps of max power and 200Nm of peak torque. Will the engine be able to pull the RV? Well, yes, the complete vehicle has a payload-carrying capacity of about 1tone or 1000kgs.

4. Price?
   

   Of course, you’d have to spend a lot extra when it comes to this Bolero Luxury Camper. Over the vehicle, which costs about Rs. 9 lakhs, the RV might set back for about Rs.12-Rs.14 lakhs more for the complete set. So, if we had to guess, the Mahindra Bolero Luxury Camper might be priced between Rs. 21 – Rs. 25 Lakhs. Well, that is fairly reasonable considering the rivals, if they ever were. In the end, there always is an option to rent an RV rather than buy it.

5. Does this RV from Mahindra have some rivals?
   

   

   In the Indian automotive market, RVs have not been a thing. Still, Mercedes brought the V-Class Marco Polo back in 2020, cost a whooping, Rs. 1.38 crore. Well, a vehicle at the price of a 3bhk apartment in metro cities is indeed something. That too, the V-Class Marco Polo came with only basic amenities.
