The Mahindra Bolero specifications read short and honest, because there is only one engine and one gearbox to study. That simplicity is the reason so many small-town buyers still choose it over flashier rivals with longer feature lists. Every figure here points the same way, toward hard-wearing simplicity.
Under the bonnet sits a 1.5 litre mHawk75 diesel making 74.96 bhp and 210 Nm of torque. A five-speed manual sends that pull to the rear wheels alone. The strong low-end torque suits loaded runs and steep village tracks far more than outright speed. Peak pull lands low, between 1600 and 2200 rpm, ideal for grunt on rough tracks.
The body measures 3995 mm long on a 2680 mm wheelbase, with 180 mm of ground clearance. That upright shape frees up seven seats and a 384 litre boot behind the last row. A 60 litre fuel tank gives the diesel a long, useful touring range between fills. The 1745 mm width keeps it narrow enough for tight village lanes.
On economy the diesel carries an ARAI rating of 16 kmpl, steady for a boxy seven-seater. Real figures dip with a full cabin and city traffic. If running cost drives your choice, see what the Bolero returns on fuel before you commit. Light kerb weight keeps the engine from straining on long climbs.
Safety kit stays basic but covers dual front airbags, ABS and a reverse aid on higher trims. The tall stance and light body make the Bolero feel planted on rutted roads. Read the numbers together and this SUV reads as a durable, no-nonsense tool for daily work. Higher grades add power steering and better seat trim for everyday comfort.
