Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus: Rugged Utility, Family‑Friendly Layout & Value-Priced…

In April 2024, the Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus, an extended version of the Mahindra Bolero Neo that brings ruggedness and utility in a nine-seater format, was launched. Built on the usual body-on-frame chassis, this SUV stretches to 4,400 mm in length, which is 405 mm longer than the Neo, while sharing a 2,680 mm-long wheelbase that translates to more passenger space but without the drawback of losing its off-road prowess .

Spacious and Practical Cabin

With the scope to fit into the life of large families or groups, the Bolero Neo Plus is three-rowed with nine seats arranged in a 2–3–4 configuration. A robust cabin houses the 9-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, USB, and AUX interfaces . The interiors are upholstered in Italian-fabric style, along with more practical storage options and rear AC vents for comfort and convenience

Powered by Strong Diesel Heart

The heart of the Bolero Neo Plus is a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine producing 118 bhp at 4,000 rpm and 280 Nm torque in the range of 1,800–2,800 rpm. This engine is mated to a smooth 6-speed manual transmission channeling power to rear wheels. Equipped with a 60-litre fuel tank, this SUV is ready for both long-distance travels and city drives.

Safety and Dimensions

Safety features include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a strong high-strength steel body . At a height of, 1,812 mm, the SUV experiences exemplary road presence, aided by coil spring suspension on both the front and rear that can brave rough roads.

Fuel Efficiency and Ride Comfort

Claimed mileage, as certified by ARAI, stands at 14 kmpl, while some on-ground reports suggest some possible up to 16 kmpl . The heavy-duty suspension provides comfortable riding on various terrains of India, equally making city drives and drives in the countryside fun.

Price and Variants

This car is available in two variants, P4 and P10, with ex-showroom Delhi prices ranging from ₹11.39 lakh for the P4 to ₹12.49 lakh for P10 . In terms of pricing, these variants are attractive, given the rugged looks and practical features on offer in the seven-to-nine-seater SUV category.
