Mahindra Bolero Nice SUV But Lacks Vital Safety Features

I am a quite adventurous person and for very long I was searching for an SUV/UV that could provide a comfortable ride even in the tough terrains of the country. After going through research I bought the new Mahindra Bolero. The vehicle marks as one of the top-selling Mahindra cars in India and proves how drivability and handling can be made easy. Mahindra Bolero is the oldest member of the family, it retains the old no-fuss design when it was launched almost a decade back. The last update in 2012 made it look a little sportier; ditching the squared looks it had before. In 2016, Mahindra tweaked the old 2.5L engine and offered the powerful one. Mahindra Bolero still continues to dominate the SUV sales chart in the country, and launch of the automatic version is of course one of the criteria. Mahindra Bolero on the outside flaunts the new sleek grille and muscular bumper that highlights the front facia. The rear part gets more sophisticated along with curved clear lens taillight that adds to its charm. Inside, the car gets new dash panel and instrument cluster that offers multi-functional display while other features include AC unit with 4 AC vents, an audio system, and internally adjustable mirrors. The car comes powered by 1.5L mHawk D70 motor that can generate the output of 70bhp and peak torque of 195Nm. There are still some flaws in this vehicle like lack of essential safety features such as airbags and ABS and the interior built quality clearly shows cost-cutting. However, Bolero's low price range has been the USP why this car is a hot-seller from Mahindra and this was the only priority of mine at the time of purchase. So, in my opinion, Bolero still holds a special place in the hearts of thousands of Indians who want a spacious vehicle with powerful engine underneath and all that at an affordable price.
