Dear Mahindra, really appreciate what you've done with the Neo. But please make it look different from the TUV.. Bolero is currently an iconic name in the industry.. Those bold, rugged looks should also be present on the Neo to carry a badge called Bolero..
We dont need TUV mahindra, just put that interior and functioning in actual bolero... That will be great👍
Please get rid of that non-practical, flimsy n dull interior of bolero...
If u can provide better interior in TUV with almost the same price, why don't u update this into bolero?!
✌
The bolero still looks miles better than this fridge on wheels
I'll still prefer the previous Bolero than this.
It is about time we start calling out the safety of the 3rd row. And I am soo happy that you didn't say that it is only for kids. NO ONE is safe in the 3rd row.
That vibration on gear lever,typical bolero feel 😁
Bolero is g wagon for common man.. never lets down, does what it has to do...
There's no match to the styling of the actual Bolero
It's basically a tuv but mahindra named it after bolero because bolero is very successful in india.
They should have gone with a 16" alloys , atleast as an optional in top varient
All so called sub 4 meter SUVs should have this locking differential feature. Then, it would be worthy to call them atleast a basic SUV rather hatchbacks on steriods.
The Neo will definitely look better with bigger wheels. 17 inch tyres will turn it into a beast.
Feel like crying when I see what they done with our good old "Bolero"
The explanation on the differential 👍👍
Thank you
Apart from the lack of phone mirroring, I like this. A cousin of mine owns the tuv 300. The torque is mind boggling. This will be good for someone living in rural or ghat areas of the country!!
Only RWD compact SUV in India with locking differentials. Will put some safaris and cretas to shame.
The Bolero powered by the 2.6L is still my favourite one and i regret selling it. I think the TUV300 plus will suit the bolero nametag better. I really appreciate Mahindra for keeping it RWD.. unlike the Puffed Hatch Suvs.
The m-locker is very much a welcome move by Mahindra, hopefully other models will have them too.
Being a 1.5L oil burner a DPF regen system could have been used instead of an adblue substitute.
Also, absence of jump seats could have paved way for a more usable boot.
i would have liked had they put in the new engine on the old bolero
I really wish Mahindra starts selling in Canada. I would be the first to buy it.
Old Bolero is always gold❤️❤️
Nice video and thanks for explaining the concept so easily.
Atleast Bolero Neo is a true compact SUV unlike our monocoque front wheel drive lifted hatchbacks.
Bolero,Scorpio ,Innova and fortuner legendary cars cars people don’t buy for their features, their name is enough .
Great job done by Mahindra team to create this real compact SUV. This Neo will rock in Indian market
Yes that backward sloping door ruins the side profile. I was just thinking about the door coming near to face, glad that you mentioned.
Loving that old bolero one of my uncle have 2017 bolero they are modified bigger size tyre and some additional modifications just it's looks fabulous ❤️❤️
Good job done by mahindra, design could have been better, rear ac and auto version should be added, wheel size should be 16 inch
When TUV was launched I had commented that it should have been named new generation Bolero. Now that TUV failed, they are doing it now. But customers can see through this.
Best ever explanation for differential locking … great
Fantastic and crisp review. The Autocar team is simply the best at what they do.
Old is gold .
I like the old one.
Well explained! Explanation of differential locks was a good touch!
Very well explained, i think autocar have that premium ness that others lack it, in term of describing minute details in a fashion to its urban viewers
The reviewer and his explanation, way of explaining the details .... One word TOP NOTCH 🌸👍🏻
Need automatic gearbox to boost sales & in 4 disc brakes would be safer company should rethink
I loved TUV 300 but expected some sort of high premium touch. The Neo Looks so gorgeous than the outgoing TUV 300. But the downer is that the interiors are largely unchanged, apart from new instrument cluster and steering mounted controls at right side of steering, there's nothing new, no changes done to the inelegant looking Aux and USB placement, no automatic climate control. Hope that this Neo compensates the low sales of the TUV 300. 🙄🙄
Well that's about it for TUV facelift..😊
Thanks a lot for explaining mechanical lock differential. Really appreciate.
Always it’s original Bolero is everyone s favourite, loved it’s design language & ruggedness. Mahindra please update interiors & new generation comfort features to original Bolero.
Will there be automatic in neo ? I need an automatic one in it.
Thanks for the info at the end of the video
In which model MLD is available ? please clarify.
Because without MLD customer will face a lot of wheel spin issue due to loss of traction .
This problem was very much evident in every TUV300 . Later mahindra recalled and installed MLD in TUV300
This channel's videos are getting better day after day. Keep up the good work.
Shots man!🤝🏻🔥
Guys this car is far better than pseudo compact suv
This is a wonderful initiative from the team to dedicate some amount of time to explain the "working of a specific system" Please do include many of "How things work" so that it would be helpful for students and automobile aspirants. Kudos to the team. Well explained 🔥🔥
Very well explained
The Last row are seats for your enemies.
Mahindra did the right thing to present the platform of TUV300 as bolero neo. Now it looks much better with the bolero appeal. It will really sell very well
Saturday vibes ❤️
This is just the BS6 version on tuv. Since the brand TUV did not have too many takers, they just slaped on their most iconic brand to piggy back tuv sales. But i would say rather than doing that if they could have spruced up original Bolero's interior with good plastics, more ergonomic seating, a 7 inch infotainment screen with good features and speakers, a bit more engine refinenment, some funcky colour options ( like Tata's Dark edition), a great set of alloys, and on road price of below 12 lakhs for all this, it would sell like hot cakes for again another decade.
Mahindra ji.. when will you make Automatic versions part of your initial launch plans ? For all the Cars..
Nice camera work
The rear suspension is it leaf springs setup?
Who else shared this video - not for the rebranded TUV - but for the awesome MLD explanation?
That satisfaction of saving few mins after he opened the boot at 2.32 😎
Such a beautiful brilliant machine! Love this!
This new Bolero Neo is Front wheel Drive or Rear wheel drive..
🔥🔥TUV 300 looks amazing.. especially the front grill. Looks masculine.. messed up with Bolero Neo... Not sure who came up with this idea..
Sir when bolero neo comes with new logo . Because as per mahindra website showing all suv segment comes with new logo after xuv 700 launch.
This looks great. Mahindra, please bring in rear camera, navigation, hill descent control, black interiors. How could you miss out on basics?
The Engine of this suv 1.5 litre - 100 bhp unit is really very good. It drives so well, anybody will love it no doubt
A slight Extended back bumper and a little touch on the back light could have been a game changer.
Instead of naming TUV 300 and Bolero i expected they would have given a better engine and a dash board to the old bolero with considerable safety equipment would have been better .
Hi , drop back is there no Smart key , rear side AC Window
Quite a lot of things in favor of this CSUV - rear wheel drive, ladder on frame, same platform as scorpio, diesel power train and above all Bolero name plate.
But they goofed up on few bits like 15 inch wheels, abruptly chopped rear etc
Which type of differential is best? Low on maintainace and longer lasting?
brake locking diff, because there is no additional hardware at all, it just uses the EPS and ABS units. Having said that mechanical diffs are very reliable and if built well, last the life of the car.
It is the second half of 2021. What is a good reason to exclude Android Auto from a car of ANY segment/price?
Really liked the learning part of the video an I think you guys need to do it more often.
Rural creata
Because rural rich want features without compromise on ruggedness
Hats off to mahindra 😇👍
Good efforts trying to demystify difflocks. A performance comparison between a lower varient enabled with EBD and this one with MLD would have completed it because an EBD can also get the job done by distributing engine's power to either side of the differential equally. This way the wheel on the traction surface receives some power and help the car move. Is the later as good as a dedicated set-up, we could have found out :)
That last bit on mechanical lock diff was nice...good autocar india👍
TUV and now this car.. has lots more potential than what Mahindra has been able to extract out of it. They messed up its AMT earlier. Hoping they would come with reliable automatic on this.. and many young city buyers would go for it.
TBH if this had better infotainment system with Android auto then it would have been cherry on top !
Super video bro
Very well explained in the end!
Good demo of locking differential. Great job. 3rd row seats!! you said the right thing, don't use it. Grow up Mahindra, do not do such meaningless 3rd row in this era
Metallic bumper or plastic ??
If Mahindra could have make it a little longer from the behind, it would look so much better.
The body just ends at the rear wheels and it quite looks a bit weird looks wise.
But i hope Mahindra would be saving so much money without having to design a new car completely.
is der double sun roof?
It's going to be like Tata's Sumo and Sumo grande mk. Going to get extinct with time now
This mld function is superb
Mahindra must remove 3 row seat & keep it as functional Boot, windows switches must be on door pad for easy access to driver. Also they must provide with petrol option as well.
The old one still looks miles better than bolero neo.
All those who are calling it tuv and not the real bolero FYI bolero is still on sale and those who want that can buy it. This one is more sophisticated and was also needed. Giving it bolero neo only helps in marketing and attention for buyers which is a good thing. It's win win for buyers.plus the price difference is not that much at all. And surprisingly it is nearly 1.5 lac cheaper than tuv 300 if u do consider it as it's facelift. Now what u have to say about that. Never seen companies reducing prices. Mahindra and Tata make cars which u will only appreciate once u sit in them and know wt they are about.
Proud owner of Bolero never failed to impress on any roads or any conditions 👍
No rear ac vents..
It would be appreciable if newly launched cars are also rated based on crash safety.
Is it rear wheel drive?
Sergius .... 👍🏻 Good video...
Can Autocar team also review tractors ? The audience is not here but it will add to knowledge and fulfill curiosity.
Should had introduced Neo with Marazzo engine. would had been a good upgrade of Bolero.
Simply superb review.... 👌
Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive which is more comfortable sir?
The drive does not really affect the ride directly, generally RWD cars have a non independent setup and so don't feel comfy.
Everything is comfortable
better interiors than old bolero🥰🥰
Bolero is an emotion oly few can understand
Will they discontinue the old model
Not everyone wants to spend as much to plonk for a Thar or a Scorpio 4×4. We desperately need a 4wd Bolero neo and also a 4wd Bolero standard. Pls hear us Mahindra!
Sir when optional variant will come
Coimbatore city police have ordered 17 models of this new Mahindra Bolero Neo as their patrol car. So I just came to see how it look like. Not bad.
