Agree. Mahindra should update the vehicle with all the necessary safety and driving features and modernise the design while keeping the 'workhorse' image of the vehicle. Like Ford Bronco's interiors and exteriors.

Re: 2025 Diamond White Bolero - Initial impressions

Congratulations on the acquisition! The Bolero is undoubtedly a rugged vehicle that exudes a different aura!

I bought my BS6 Bolero in December 2020 and wanted the Rocky Beige colour which was a struggle for the SA to allocate because white was readily available at all times.

We traveled to many states in the country and never once we encountered any issues with the vehicle. Though the ride quality at the rear is bad the vehicle never disappointed no matter how much you load it with people or luggage. The engine is peppy and a breeze to drive both in city and highway traffic.

One of the main reasons I chose Bolero was because of the ease in modifying the vehicle. The possibilities are endless. It had always been a pressing dream to create a rugged looking machine ever since i purchased it and safe to say today, I'm glad i could turn it into reality

Despite its plain design and lack of on board tech, I would pick the Bolero over a modern car any day! It's timeless!

I think your beast deserves its own build thread where you let us all in into all the mods you did - one post at a time so we can savour this absolute drool machine! (said no woman ever )

Re: 2025 Diamond White Bolero - Initial impressions

Great to see a Bolero thread these days. I own a 2016 m2DiCR model and am more or less happy with it.
The only gripe being the back bench not foldable. Its such a small thing for Mahindra, but they opted not to do that in a utility vehicle !.

Have they changed it in the newer models?

Looks great . You should consider a new thread for your Bolero.

OT: Your Bolero is Kerala MVD's wet dream. Do not cross the border

I think you both (and @gischetans) added the fuel to the fire! Since two days I have been mentally preparing to decide to start a thread and showcase my writing skill (or the lack of it!)

Dedicated thread coming soon!
