    The Bolero Neo has received its first mechanical update in the form of an engine retune. The 1.5-litre diesel engine now makes 100PS of power and 260Nm of torque. These figures are not just better than before, but 24PS and 50Nm more than the Bolero as well. And these numbers do translate into a more relaxed and effortless drive. There is lots of torque at low revs which helps the 1.5 tonne SUV pick up gracefully. And because this engine makes more power as well, the Bolero Neo builds speed with more ease than the Bolero. Cruising at triple digit speeds will be calmer as well and this has more grunt for high speed overtakes. The 5-speed transmission is easy to slot in and the clutch is light too, making for friendly city commutes. The suspension too has been reworked to offer you better stability at higher speeds. However, this has rubbed off on the ride in a negative manner. There is a firmness in the suspension which, at light load, will be felt in the cabin. Over speed breakers or bumps, the cabin does move around a bit, more so at the back. A quick fix to this is not to slow down. Go over these with momentum and the Neo just glides over them. Again, less so for the rear passengers. On the other side, the stiffer springs have given the Neo better handling characteristics. Combined with the lower centre of gravity, it does manage its weight better and feel more stable on high speed lane changes and corners. There is still a lot of body roll, just less than before. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.
