Mahindra has launched the Bolero Neo in India, with prices starting at Rs 8.48 lakh (ex-showroom). The model, which is essentially the spiritual successor to the TUV300, rivals the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Tata Nexon, Ford EcoSport, and even its own sibling, the Mahindra XUV300.

Under the hood, the Mahindra Bolero Neo is powered by a BS6 compliant 1.5-litre, mHawk diesel engine that is capable of producing 100bhp and 260Nm of torque. This motor is offered exclusively with a five-speed manual transmission.

The Mahindra Bolero Neo is available in six colours including Rocky Beige, Majestic Silver, Highway Red, Pearl White, Diamond White, and Napoli Black. The model is offered in three variants such as N4, N8, and N10. The following are the variant-wise features of the new Mahindra Bolero Neo.
