Giving a surprise entry in the Indian automotive market, Mahindra has launched the new Bolero Neo.

That said, keeping the pricing competitive, the new Mahindra Bolero Neo is priced at ₹8.48 Lakh (ex-showroom).
What powers the new Mahindra Bolero Neo?
There are multiple unique features about the new Neo that makes it stand out in the crowd.
- The new TUV, oh! Bolero Neo comes powered by a 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine that generates a max power of 100bhp and 260Nm of peak torque.
- The quality part about the Neo is that it is rear-wheel driven, because of which the engine is longitudinally mounted.
- Well, this makes this Mahindra the only subcompact SUV in the segment to be rear-wheel driven. Moving on, this SUV also comes with a 5-speed manual transmission.
- Also, the top-end T10 trim gets a mechanical locking differential.
How does the new Mahindra Bolero Neo Look?
The new SUV heavily takes cues from its predecessor TUV300. Or rather it is a TUV300 but with facelifted design and some changes on the inside.
- Speaking of design, the basic body structure of the vehicle remains the same with minor tweaks on the headlights and front grille.
- Stipping on the inside, it is the same as the TUV with an updated instrument cluster and new fabric seat covers.
