Most of the issues with the Bolero Neo can be solved by re-designing one part - the centre console. Come on Mahindra, how much can remoulding a plastic part cost? Move the central window control to the front doors like in other cars thereby creating much needed storage spaces for phones and other items. The most important addition to the centre console should be rear AC vents (this is a deal breaker for me). Willing to overlook the rather bland and featureless dashboard including the cheap head unit. Otherwise a fine vehicle mechanically...
Rear AC vents console must use full and provide Mahindra. 2nd front face change broad headlight design like bolero normal or Scorpio classic two part design projector low beam and high beam sapreat or cornering lamp give headlight design. Low baught car suv projector headlights provided base verint. 3rd is middle 2nd row 60.40 recliner flip fully foldable seat 💺 provide 2nd base model started.
Bhai bolero neo m 50 ltr diesel or 22ltr urea daltaa hai . Ek baar urea full honey per 10000km chalta hai or urea light aaney per 2400km chalti hai gadi .
I own TUV 300 from 2018 till today, and has driven it more than 1.1 lakhs KM, in Mumbai where I stay, and has travelled in more than half of India. This car is none other than TUV 300, except DPF as per current norms. So, based on my experience of last more than 6 years, I can guarantee you, that you can count this car as a long term partner. It will never blow your pocket, and will keep on giving you a good service.
Been driving for 7 months n10 (o) model.......no issues yet ... covered 14000kms...happy customer. Those who need a rugged suv with less features can go for this. My point of view was...less features means...less things to go wrong..😊
I bought this car while watching your video on it last September. The Blind spot is a problem, to overcome it I got a 360 camera installed and when in doubt I turn it on. The benefits outweigh the problems. And as a first car it's a blessing.
Hello Everyone, I own bolero neo n10 (r). It has been 11 months of ownership and I haven't faced any problem yet. Vehicle is fabulous according to it's class. The mileage is unbelievable.
My personal views : 1. Give an option of 5 seater model, which has the featues as follows 2. A 4 cylinder engine, from Xuv300 atleast, with an automatic transmission as option 3. A decent Music system 4. A rear AC vents For this price Mahindra can do it. And it will be a bolero beater for Mahindra.. it will be purchased by a segment who cannot afford Thar..
I purchased bolero neo plus 9 seater 15days ago... I love how the 4cylinder engine from scorpio with the 6 speed transmission made it so powerful... Suspension is buttersmooth... Agree with alignment issue... ESS needs a bit of getting used to... Now I automatically turn it off without stopping
Having Windows control on the central console is a good thing. Control wires would never damage due to door movement and are very safe if someone opens the door in the rain. also the passenger can control all windows that is good in case of an emergency.
I also feel central console control for windows is better than windows control specially during heavy rains you have to open the door and will take some time to close before you open the umbrella. The water may damage the switches if somehow it enters however its safe in the middle.
Modifications I did with my Rocky Beige are: 1) Tyres upgrade from 15" to 16R 265 (all 5 wheels) 2) Upgraded alloys from M&M to Neo Wheels 3) From inbuilt music system to Blaunkpunt music system 4) Replaced all the yellow bulbs with LEDs (interior & exterior) 5) Installed 360 degree camera into it 6) seat covers, cushions matting, partial silver cladding & no roof rails. My rocky beige looks more bulkier than Scorpio classic and more looks like defender
I used to own a Bolero Power+. The flaws it had, man, a whole book can be written on that topic. But...I used to feel the car would come alive once I put it on bad roads, no roads. The moment you brought up the suspension topic it flashed in front of me. But now I have moved on to a Scorpio and the experience has changed drastically. It has become far better though!
Finally someone taking an unbiased view. Fantastic review! Thanks. Congratulations to the camera person as well. I've subscribed even though it's mostly in Hindi. I live in the mountains in Tamilnadu. Here 90% with vehicles are Boleros - pickups, labourer transport, vegetables and construction material, everything goes up and down and u-turne in narrow hilly steep bad to worse roads. The Bolero is local work horse. People who use a gaadi for work will not tolerate too much khit-phit. Which is why I Am considering the Neo. Proven hai. Also, Local roadside expertise has developed, in case of small problem. But, for major problem or service, i have to go down 100+km to the plains. So, like someone said so wisely, less features, leas problems, less maintenance. I don't mind keeping me phone at me crotch! My procreating days are over 😅 Also, zyada se zyada ek saal mein 5k km chalaunga to bahut hai. Haan, blind spot is an issue. I'm a nervous driver. Give me a ✋🏽 de thali if you agree with my logic.
Ye all points are pakkaa teekk he.. ,👍 I'm using same vehicle 6 months.. and also one more point I'm noticed is.. slope se reverse karneke samay jaadda mushkil aathaa he.. half clutch nahi milega.. power lag hey.. comparing to other bs4 diesel engines.. anyway you did a great job bayyaa.. bakki sab points aap bola pakka teek he..👌👍
Fantastic video. Full of true knowledge and entertainment. You speak so nicely and in easy language, to make us understand perfectly. It seems that we are sitting face to face with you. So much fun 😂 and during the episode you make us laugh. No formalities and everything was in a natural way. God bless you dear, I really appreciate you. 👍
Very nice review. Yesterday and today I got to drive Balero neo plus base model. I am pleasantly surprised. Very easy to drive, light clutch, extremely good NVH etc. The mileage shown in MID in city was 14 kmpl which is impressive. This car makes lot of sense .This should also come with an Automatic.
Yeah bro bolero n10 owner from Dehradun, i agree with most of the points but the negatives don't bother me now as i am used to it, car is awsome i have driven it around 40k had done some long trips 7k trips gujrat maharastra, car is very comfortable for long trips(this you missed to mentioned) i had done 900+ km in single day. And i agree global NCAP results were surprising for me as well. Also i was able to do a 26kmpl on it on highway. And just a tip on long trips DEF runs out very fast if you are driving over 100 for me its around 6.5k range then it starts to give a message. The fule efficiency in meter is not correct its off by 1.5-2 kmpl then actual, but still good enough. Thanks for genuine opinion its good to watch your content keep up the good work. Lets meet in doon sometime.
Amazing review!!!....I'm planning to go for the Bolero Neo at the end of this year... One thing which I observed, on why bolero neo scored so low on the NCAP crash test is that Bolero Neo was tested with 'new NCAP guidelines' when compared to Honda Amaze & Kia Carens which were tested with the 'old guidelines'. In my observation, Neo has lost more points because it lacked curtain airbags and seatbelt warning systems on all 4 seats which are mandatory in the new NCAP guidelines (mainly talking about adult occupancy safety ratings). But as you said - "better to reach late than never" is a good motto to remember. Great review! Hope i can contact you personally in case i have some doubts... Cheers to you from Bangalore!
Thank you for adding those points.I didn't know that NCAP has rebanned their policies. And if you are right then Iam sure most of the Honda amaze and kia vehicles would also scores zero ,because I feel the build quality of Bolero Neo is pretty good. For contacting me please email me on vanandtea@gmail.com
Did you purchase bolero neo, even am thinking to buy , but stepping back due to safety and few missing features, any idea will they launch better version next year, hope you will reply
@@Sidhupaadipantalu Yes, i did purchase Bolero Neo N10 R in end of August and already i've clocked 2000+ kms. Its an amazing vehicle...you don't really need the extra bells and whistles which other cars give if you love driving and travelling in your vehicle. Safety wise please don't get stuck to GNCAP results as those tests are only possible in a lab - you will be just fine if you drive responsibly. Test drive the car! you will enjoy the power and feel of the car. It is rugged and the suspension can take bad roads like a charm. Cornering over 80kmph will test your confidence, anyways that's not safe on any car. in a straight line on the highways and in the city and even up hill the car moves effortlessly.
While i was purchasing i asked about BS7 and if any new model is on its way, they told me that 2026 a new model might come. That's a year away and you know how waiting lists are on brand new models....
I too purchase same vehcle seven months ago. I too agree each and every points. I love this vehcle, its too reliable in rough and hilly road. Its main advantage is its Fuel economy.
It's been 4 years owner of Bolero Neo N10 (O) in Arunachal Pradesh and have never faced any problem till date,yes I do agree with the mud flaps and which is of no use,yes clutch is bit hard in traffic but the blind spot is upto your attention which has nothing to do with the product.
Honest Review. As a semi retired enthusiast aspiring to drive a strong SUV from a 10 yrs old Honda City, will surelky do my research Thanks Subho Bhattacharya
Hi. Owner of Bolero Neo for last 17 months from Chennai with a ODO reading of 40K kms. Disagree with your comment about DEF and bumper to bumper traffic and suggest you improve your understanding/ knowledge about TPMS and GNCAP.
Excellent review man. I follow a lot of automotive journalists, but haven't seen such a detailed review. By detailed, I don't mean ye dekho headlight,.. ye dekho bumper... It's exactly what's needed in a review.
Very nice video , brings out all the issues that can make or break a deal !! For me - the DPF issue is a big issue, Mahindra needs to get rid of DPF re-generation , like Tata did 🙂 !! Thanks for sharing !!🙂
Hello dear brother,i have faced accident maruti spresso but I say you the bolero tlit steering position is 100% rite the reason is when I touch the brake paidal I'm pulling in dash board and controls are missing
I have a N4 very satisfied. I do city travel almost every day and it gives me 21.5km/litre. centre switch console is for the driver comfort as we have right side driving, and if there is no side passenger as you can yourself control the glass. Driving below 2000rpm gives me 23-27km/litre. Very sturdy machine. Easy to maintain. I have almost clocked 40K. I regularly change mobile after 9500km. So very good choice for me.
Crash test rating me to 0 mila hai, how you feel, is it safe ? plus features to bht sare missing hai AP keh rahe hai tech reliable ni hai, tpms and all To kya iske digital milege me beleive kre, ya apne tank to tank check kiya hai ?
@@mayank1158336 driven 850km via lucknow agra, yamun expressway and Eastern peripheral expressway with cruise maximum time at the speed of 90 kmph/normal mode . It gave me 16.5 kmpl and MID reading at the petrol pump was 20.1 kmpl
thanks for the genuine review. ppl should consider everything from safety to features while buying a car. i bought brezza after researching a lot. its just gem of a car. safety ratings, features, mainly engine so so smooth, space-btw only car with a rear quarter panel in the segment, and 1.5l engine. its returning me 16-22kmpl (city-highways). I'm so happy with my purchase.
"Main saap ko Biswas Kar Lunga, youtuber ko biswas nahi karunga " - it is the most honest statement I ve heard in a while. Sirf Gari own karne se ya chhapri ke Tarah Gari chalane se koi expert nahi ban jata.
I agree with you, issue i faced with the Scorpio and Bolero is the offset Steering, it seems a little off and you have to sit a little tilted. I like the fact that it is a rear wheel drive and it works well on bad patches or soft roading. else it does not command the price it is asking for.Don't make it a camper van, not worth the effort.
Wonderful vlog 🥰.This was the much needed video amid all gloomy Bolero Neo crash test news. Amazing. 😍Well explained. We bought Scorpio N last year, but Bolero Neo/TUV 300 has been my favorite since 2015. The things I don't like in Neo is that the center console b/w the front two seats is poorly designed. Its alignment is way more lower than the driver seat, feels awkward because it is at the same level as the foot area of rear passengers, another point is the the tiny space beside the gear lever is for no use, we can't even place a phone properly, no prominent place to place your phone, some other cars in same price like Kwid and Triber have better designed center console and storage. Mahindra should've re designed that part in facelift. Rest all is ok. I love its looks and presence. Wish you happy and safe drives. 😄😄
I just got a bolero neo N4 in black. I had an i20 and drove it for 3 years straight. Drove it on tough terrains including some highly inclined roads. But the commanding position this car has is on another level all together! I own a Thar 4x4 (3 door) as well. Have a Sonet also. Out of all 4 cars, Bolero is a vehicle that u can compare with the Thar! Cheers #mahindra ! 🍾
N10 user since 13 months value for money car Itne paise mein itnaich milega . as explained in video infotainment system upgrade is needed rest all is Fine and all essential features are included in 13L package on road. Demerits: Cabin feel good factor missing All car related features included and non car related features excluded. Anytime better than Ertiga
कितनी भी saftey रेटिंग वाली कार हो अगर ड्राइवर overspeeding करेंगे या ट्रॅफिक रूल्स follow नहीं किये जायेंगे तो 5star रेटिंग वाली कार मे भी accidental deaths recorded है पुरी दुनिया मे.....5 star रेटिंग ये कोई life saftey की gurantee नहीं है..... Of course safety rating वाली car always prefer करना चाहिये but वो कोई gurantee नहीं होती है... GNCAP 5 star rating does not guarantee us life saftey... It just minimizes risks.. But its all up to how a driver drives a vehicle 👍🏼 My fav SUV bolero neo 👍🏼👍🏼 👍🏼 I will buy for sure
I think you missed a couple of points 1. Unstable at high speed and road bends 2. Lack of rear ac vents I had bolero neo previously. The view from driver seat is amazing and you feel like king of road. But they should have gone for 2000 cc considering its weight
One of the best and detailed review of Neo, i have been watching almost every single video on youtube of Mahindra Neo but the way you have covered the pros and cons is exceptional..truly amazing Presenting skills too good. Detailed information Point to point baat no bakwaas!!! Keep up the good work
Dear, I herad you asking in the video on your purchase of this vehicle is really a right choice. Must I say it defibitepy was a the right choice as I feel as this is for your personal and work purpose.
Hi sir Mai ye gadi se khush Hu 1 hi sal (only 1 year (10 hajar km)huva he par mere issue alag he Avarage 15 max 15.9 dikhata he Eco mode on off automatically hota he Or gadi ke andar water bhi ata he barish me Company ko dikhaya 4 bar par solve nahi kar paye 😭😭 Par gadi chalane me Makhan jaise he speed or saspence bohot ache he 🙏🏻🙏🏻
As per GNCAP bohot criteria hai like 6airbags and hill hold, child mount and many more which is not there in bolero. So that's why rating is less or else build wise bolero is muscular no doubt. Negative point main aap rear AC Vent ki baat kar sakte Thai. Anyways nice video helped me to decide to go for the car or not
Bhai bilkul shi video banayi h aapne sch khu tohh Jo Jo mujhe lagta h vo sb same aapko lagta h me aesi video hi chahta tha aakhir aaj mil hi gyi h me hu rajasthan se or isme main back camera nhi milta Bhai ye bhot jaruri hota h or Bhai agr mera comment padha ho aapne tohh reply jarur dena Bhai mujhe bhi pta chala aapne meri baat suni h ❤
I am also custome of bolero neo N8 from dec23. 1.Hard cluth is a big problem specially in traffic. 2. Mirror adjusting not available at driver seat. Big problem to adjust left mirror if you are alone in vehicle. 3. Front window open/ close button should be at door also. 4. At 6-7 seat music volume very low. There must be speaker in 6-7 seats. 5. AC vent not available at back. Person sitting back feels hot whereas person sitting front feels cold. 6. Mud flap for front wheels big problem.
Wow honest review, very informative and highly important tips. I am planning to buy an SuV which is 8 seater and I keep watching review videos. Bolero Neo plus got my attention and I wanted some real content. Safety is very important, lets see I shall take a test drive of few SUVs and then make a decision that will be worth the efforts of people like you who give it all to be truthful.
The most honest review Dhruv Bhai, Actually I follow many automobile journalist, you are a true honest reviewer. Keep doing the same work. Thanks a lot for info, as I was personally feeling to purchase this vehicle.
Zoro ka jhatka..last mae 😢😢 but I pressed the Like button ✅ 3-4 times 😅😅 fully knowing ki like to mae first time hi hit kar diya tha..because of the honest in depth unbiased review. Also subscribed 😊
Hello bro, I liked your video. Previously I was decided to buy this one. But due to safety ratings and cons you explained then: I think my old car is best.
I have to purchase this car due to the economy and best middle class family and nominal service cost.best car for rough and tough roads. we should drive our vehicle on highway economy zone i e 70-90 km and in city 30- 40 km or as the case may be.over speed and rough driving is dangerous.valuable opinion of this must be bear in mind while driving highway or city. Sir se kind of thanks for sharing your experience and valuable information in this regard.
I have been using from last one year with similar readings (18K Kms ) mostly in city bumper to bumper traffic: I agree with some of your findings but some I don't think you will face them in city. Clutch is hard steering settings yes not happy with it. Steering is hard too. Mileage is 18 KMS Yes Blind spots is something concerning Front row Seating positing is great Second row its stiff elder's are not happy with it. Wheel alignment is good didn't have an issue ESS stop is best feature DPF clogged happens rarely Ncap rating is also concerning But in this price range this is best compact SUV.
I own a balero neo I am from pune maharashtra And I totally agree with you leaving the suspension part .My balero is only 5 month old and driven 2700 km while driving my balero neo with my family or friends and when I come across any bumper or speed breaker my rear bumper sits down fully creating a bang sound. I showed to the service center they say they don't find it any abnormal .
Hi...i am venkat from Chennai, excellent review. Thank you very much 🙏 my 1st choice is bolero neo only.... but after your review little confusing 😅😅😅 my humble request is please change this car as Camper Van. I am awaiting for your reply 🙏
Very nice brother... such a unbiased and genuine review it is... Thank you for your honesty... keep working like this.. may God bless you with so much success ❤️🤗

This is the best comment on this video. Pinning it
Bolero and bolero Neo is built for mostly urban rural folks. Anand doesn't believe in giving comfort to this clan.
Rear AC vents console must use full and provide Mahindra.
2nd front face change broad headlight design like bolero normal or Scorpio classic two part design projector low beam and high beam sapreat or cornering lamp give headlight design.
Low baught car suv projector headlights provided base verint.
3rd is middle 2nd row 60.40 recliner flip fully foldable seat 💺 provide 2nd base model started.
Are bhai ek bar diesel or urea ke upper bhi video bna do kittna dlta urea or kitna kilometre chalta he

Mileage, city and highway pl?
@@narendra_indian city 14-16 and highway 18-20 km/l (on highway, using cruise control).
Unbelievable.
Mahindra would be proud to see these figures even in eco mode.
Bolero / bolero neo / neo +?
Which is better
I am also a bolero neo satisfied costomer, drive 12000 in one year. Without any difficulty, great power with great average..
My personal views :
1. Give an option of 5 seater model, which has the featues as follows
2. A 4 cylinder engine, from Xuv300 atleast, with an automatic transmission as option
3. A decent Music system
4. A rear AC vents
For this price Mahindra can do it. And it will be a bolero beater for Mahindra.. it will be purchased by a segment who cannot afford Thar..
You are right Bro.. Safety rating is very low.
People were ignoring so many things to buy this car - in a hope that its safety would be much better.
Yes..
I purchased bolero neo plus 9 seater 15days ago...
I love how the 4cylinder engine from scorpio with the 6 speed transmission made it so powerful...
Suspension is buttersmooth... Agree with alignment issue...
ESS needs a bit of getting used to... Now I automatically turn it off without stopping
Which car is butter smooth scorpio or Bolero
Pls tell me what highway mileage u get.pls reply and make a video on yr Neo plus.there r literally no owner review video on UA-cam.
Did you buy a p10? And did you get any modifications done? How is the comfort?

Having Windows control on the central console is a good thing. Control wires would never damage due to door movement and are very safe if someone opens the door in the rain. also the passenger can control all windows that is good in case of an emergency.
Then Everybody should change,then every brand should bring their window control in the centre.
I also feel central console control for windows is better than windows control specially during heavy rains you have to open the door and will take some time to close before you open the umbrella. The water may damage the switches if somehow it enters however its safe in the middle.

It's been 4 years owner of Bolero Neo N10 (O) in Arunachal Pradesh and have never faced any problem till date,yes I do agree with the mud flaps and which is of no use,yes clutch is bit hard in traffic but the blind spot is upto your attention which has nothing to do with the product.
thanks a ton !! you answered my question on your last video. 😀
You are always welcome

Honest Review. As a semi retired enthusiast aspiring to drive a strong SUV from a 10 yrs old Honda City, will surelky do my research Thanks Subho Bhattacharya
Hi. Owner of Bolero Neo for last 17 months from Chennai with a ODO reading of 40K kms. Disagree with your comment about DEF and bumper to bumper traffic and suggest you improve your understanding/ knowledge about TPMS and GNCAP.
This is a problem felt. U may not feel it.
It’s human psychology to defend what we own , don’t worry this is my review of my car. Not talking about ur car
Sir, would you care to elaborate on your point? I'm curious to know what you mean
@@mecharsh which point or points?
@@gurunarayanprasad8561 the question was for you sir
Excellent review man. I follow a lot of automotive journalists, but haven't seen such a detailed review. By detailed, I don't mean ye dekho headlight,.. ye dekho bumper... It's exactly what's needed in a review.
Thank you so much for lovely comment
Such reviews are very rare. UA-camrs push brief explanation of car specification as a review.
Sir Bolero n4 lena chaah raha hoon kya bahar se Central locking lageane pe proper work karega ki nahi.
Haan karega..
Non biased and a honest review, would be amazing to see you do a review done for Force Gurkha 5 door, since you work with a lot of force vehicles.
Good n honest review.. thank you for the video
You are welcome
@@FirstIndianCamper what about warranty then ?
Very nice video , brings out all the issues that can make or break a deal !! For me - the DPF issue is a big issue, Mahindra needs to get rid of DPF re-generation , like Tata did 🙂 !! Thanks for sharing !!🙂
Hello dear brother,i have faced accident maruti spresso but I say you the bolero tlit steering position is 100% rite the reason is when I touch the brake paidal I'm pulling in dash board and controls are missing
I have a N4 very satisfied. I do city travel almost every day and it gives me 21.5km/litre. centre switch console is for the driver comfort as we have right side driving, and if there is no side passenger as you can yourself control the glass. Driving below 2000rpm gives me 23-27km/litre. Very sturdy machine. Easy to maintain. I have almost clocked 40K. I regularly change mobile after 9500km. So very good choice for me.
Sir ji top model m 10 o m aati hai fix bolt Vali roof rails.
Aap boodmo se le lo tuv300 ke name se. Fix bolt Vali roof rails original m m
Bang on video.....what a research I have a Neo and driven 35000. Really happy to see someone coming with true research.
Aap ne jo radio automatically play hone ki problem bataya hai woh mere bolero power plus 2017 mai bho hai us me bhi music apne play hota hai
Okay,iska matlab main akela nahi hu..
Very nicely explained brother. The language is very understandable even though i'm from down south. Love from Mysore, Karnataka
So nice of you
Bhai what about manali cafe ?
Manali cafe is open...
@@FirstIndianCamper missing manali cafe videos..
Crash test rating me to 0 mila hai, how you feel, is it safe ?
plus features to bht sare missing hai
AP keh rahe hai tech reliable ni hai, tpms and all
To kya iske digital milege me beleive kre, ya apne tank to tank check kiya hai ?
Tank to tank check nhi kiya hai but more or less similar hi hai.
@@FirstIndianCamperNot same, u should go tank to tank fillup then u get exactly figure.
@@mayank1158336 driven 850km via lucknow agra, yamun expressway and Eastern peripheral expressway with cruise maximum time at the speed of 90 kmph/normal mode . It gave me 16.5 kmpl and MID reading at the petrol pump was 20.1 kmpl
Yup ye 14 ka hi milega deti hai
thanks for the genuine review. ppl should consider everything from safety to features while buying a car. i bought brezza after researching a lot. its just gem of a car. safety ratings, features, mainly engine so so smooth, space-btw only car with a rear quarter panel in the segment, and 1.5l engine. its returning me 16-22kmpl (city-highways). I'm so happy with my purchase.
Thanks for sharing
As usual. Honest review Bhai .❤❤
Thank you so much
bhaiya aap ki video ki vajah se boht logo ko knowledge mila hai or bolero ke negative points bhi pta chala good job
Barmoda triangle was epic 😂😂
Very honest review in simple language without any exaggerating
"Main saap ko Biswas Kar Lunga, youtuber ko biswas nahi karunga " - it is the most honest statement I ve heard in a while.
Sirf Gari own karne se ya chhapri ke Tarah Gari chalane se koi expert nahi ban jata.
I agree with you, issue i faced with the Scorpio and Bolero is the offset Steering, it seems a little off and you have to sit a little tilted. I like the fact that it is a rear wheel drive and it works well on bad patches or soft roading. else it does not command the price it is asking for.Don't make it a camper van, not worth the effort.
Khud se gaana chal jana, khud se radio ka chal jaana, in sab ka ek hi logical explaination hai... bhoot 👻
Haha..sahi keh rahe ho
Bde bhai gaadi ka to pata mhi but love your Garmin watch 😅
Some one who knows about the watches too ❤ liked it
Love from manali ❤
Bhai video me mahila Mitra koun hai 😊
Vaishali hai
reviewed like a true owner. unbiased!!! great review covering all the points that common man looks for before buying this car!!!!
Dekho Bhai ye sab apko Range Rover me bhi nahi milta
😅😅😅😅
Khatrnak
Hahaha
GENUINE and DETAIL ORIENTED REVIEW! Great work!
Thanks a lot
Wonderful vlog 🥰.This was the much needed video amid all gloomy Bolero Neo crash test news. Amazing. 😍Well explained. We bought Scorpio N last year, but Bolero Neo/TUV 300 has been my favorite since 2015. The things I don't like in Neo is that the center console b/w the front two seats is poorly designed. Its alignment is way more lower than the driver seat, feels awkward because it is at the same level as the foot area of rear passengers, another point is the the tiny space beside the gear lever is for no use, we can't even place a phone properly, no prominent place to place your phone, some other cars in same price like Kwid and Triber have better designed center console and storage. Mahindra should've re designed that part in facelift. Rest all is ok. I love its looks and presence. Wish you happy and safe drives. 😄😄
Thanks a lot...thanks for sharing ,I agree with your thoughts..n wish you the same..
Brutally honest review... Thank you so much.. i was thinking whether to buy bolero neo in near future...
I just got a bolero neo N4 in black. I had an i20 and drove it for 3 years straight. Drove it on tough terrains including some highly inclined roads. But the commanding position this car has is on another level all together! I own a Thar 4x4 (3 door) as well. Have a Sonet also. Out of all 4 cars, Bolero is a vehicle that u can compare with the Thar! Cheers #mahindra ! 🍾
N10 user since 13 months value for money car Itne paise mein itnaich milega . as explained in video infotainment system upgrade is needed rest all is Fine and all essential features are included in 13L package on road.
Demerits: Cabin feel good factor missing
All car related features included and non car related features excluded.
Anytime better than Ertiga
कितनी भी saftey रेटिंग वाली कार हो अगर ड्राइवर overspeeding करेंगे या ट्रॅफिक रूल्स follow नहीं किये जायेंगे तो 5star रेटिंग वाली कार मे भी accidental deaths recorded है पुरी दुनिया मे.....5 star रेटिंग ये कोई life saftey की gurantee नहीं है..... Of course safety rating वाली car always prefer करना चाहिये but वो कोई gurantee नहीं होती है... GNCAP 5 star rating does not guarantee us life saftey... It just minimizes risks.. But its all up to how a driver drives a vehicle 👍🏼
My fav SUV bolero neo 👍🏼👍🏼 👍🏼 I will buy for sure
Yes I agree on this point of yours ..its your choice to buy any
I think you missed a couple of points 1. Unstable at high speed and road bends
2. Lack of rear ac vents
I had bolero neo previously. The view from driver seat is amazing and you feel like king of road. But they should have gone for 2000 cc considering its weight
Boss..you are too good! Killed it with your honest, balanced review!!
Thank you so much... your comment is very kind
Amazing review. I'm an Ex-XUV 500 owner and your spot is with the music system. It's a silverlite issue I was told by the service station.
What’s that ?
Very genuine reviews from the real user. I canvelled my plan for Balero new.
One of the best and detailed review of Neo, i have been watching almost every single video on youtube of Mahindra Neo but the way you have covered the pros and cons is exceptional..truly amazing
Presenting skills too good.
Detailed information
Point to point baat no bakwaas!!!
Keep up the good work
Thanks a ton...your comment is really appreciable
12:01 ye ye kya h guys Bermuda Triangle 🤣🤣🤣🤣… by far the best car review I have ever seen👌💯
Thank you so much
Dear,
I herad you asking in the video on your purchase of this vehicle is really a right choice. Must I say it defibitepy was a the right choice as I feel as this is for your personal and work purpose.
Hi sir
Mai ye gadi se khush Hu 1 hi sal (only 1 year (10 hajar km)huva he par mere issue alag he
Avarage 15 max 15.9 dikhata he
Eco mode on off automatically hota he
Or gadi ke andar water bhi ata he barish me
Company ko dikhaya 4 bar par solve nahi kar paye 😭😭
Par gadi chalane me Makhan jaise he speed or saspence bohot ache he 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Superb Reviews Dhruv Bhai. Aapse Sabko Help Milegi. THANKS FOR Amazing Video.
Thank you so much
Brother Aapka video Bilkul Real aur True hai, Salute to you ❤❤🎉🎉
Dhruv ji absolutely no doubt in a positive report on the way of your comparison of bolero neo. Minimum 4 star safety rating required for bolero neo..
As per GNCAP bohot criteria hai like 6airbags and hill hold, child mount and many more which is not there in bolero. So that's why rating is less or else build wise bolero is muscular no doubt.
Negative point main aap rear AC Vent ki baat kar sakte Thai. Anyways nice video helped me to decide to go for the car or not
Bhai bilkul shi video banayi h aapne sch khu tohh Jo Jo mujhe lagta h vo sb same aapko lagta h me aesi video hi chahta tha aakhir aaj mil hi gyi h me hu rajasthan se or isme main back camera nhi milta Bhai ye bhot jaruri hota h or Bhai agr mera comment padha ho aapne tohh reply jarur dena Bhai mujhe bhi pta chala aapne meri baat suni h ❤
Haanji bhai maine aapki baat acche se pari hai and comment karne ke liye bohat bohat shukriya
I was planning to buy this car, but being very honest, you just opened my eyes..
Thankx man..👍🏼
Glad I could help
I am also custome of bolero neo N8 from dec23.
1.Hard cluth is a big problem specially in traffic.
2. Mirror adjusting not available at driver seat. Big problem to adjust left mirror if you are alone in vehicle.
3. Front window open/ close button should be at door also.
4. At 6-7 seat music volume very low. There must be speaker in 6-7 seats.
5. AC vent not available at back. Person sitting back feels hot whereas person sitting front feels cold.
6. Mud flap for front wheels big problem.
Agreed to all the points
A very good, honest and well measured review
ABSOLUTELY AGREED WITH ALL THE POINTS
most of the problems are minor, dont understand why Mahindra cant fix these basic features
Agreed
Thank you 💕🍫bhai aap ke jaisa kohi nahi 🫶🏻 me karnataka se hu me ab bolero neo leneka soch rahahu bhai tq
Thanks man. Appreciate your honesty and efforts to review and cover all aspects of this car. It’s super useful.
Features and pros and cons of this car have been nicely explained.
Bhai liked your genuineness 🙌👍
Honest review...i m planning to buy bolero neo, helped with video
Wow honest review, very informative and highly important tips. I am planning to buy an SuV which is 8 seater and I keep watching review videos. Bolero Neo plus got my attention and I wanted some real content. Safety is very important, lets see I shall take a test drive of few SUVs and then make a decision that will be worth the efforts of people like you who give it all to be truthful.
Glad it was helpful! Keep me posted about ur choice
The most honest review Dhruv Bhai, Actually I follow many automobile journalist, you are a true honest reviewer. Keep doing the same work. Thanks a lot for info, as I was personally feeling to purchase this vehicle.
Thanks a ton

Thank you so much
Honest review, thank you for sharing so valuable information.
Hello bro,
I liked your video. Previously I was decided to buy this one. But due to safety ratings and cons you explained then: I think my old car is best.
Glad I could help
I have to purchase this car due to the economy and best middle class family and nominal service cost.best car for rough and tough roads. we should drive our vehicle on highway economy zone i e 70-90 km and in city 30- 40 km or as the case may be.over speed and rough driving is dangerous.valuable opinion of this must be bear in mind while driving highway or city. Sir se kind of thanks for sharing your experience and valuable information in this regard.
I have been using from last one year with similar readings (18K Kms ) mostly in city bumper to bumper traffic: I agree with some of your findings but some I don't think you will face them in city.
Clutch is hard
steering settings yes not happy with it.
Steering is hard too.
Mileage is 18 KMS
Yes Blind spots is something concerning
Front row Seating positing is great
Second row its stiff elder's are not happy with it.
Wheel alignment is good didn't have an issue
ESS stop is best feature
DPF clogged happens rarely
Ncap rating is also concerning
But in this price range this is best compact SUV.
During DPF issue what will you do?
मेरे पास भी है भाई N10 भाई बोहोत मस्त गाड़ी है गाड़ी मैने 40 हजार चला चुका हु बहुत ही मस्त है ये कार

I own a balero neo
I am from pune maharashtra
And I totally agree with you leaving the suspension part .My balero is only 5 month old and driven 2700 km while driving my balero neo with my family or friends and when I come across any bumper or speed breaker my rear bumper sits down fully creating a bang sound.
I showed to the service center they say they don't find it any abnormal .
Pls send me your experience
Bahut achi baat boli aapne sach bola chaye aap pe viswas krte h log .
Kya ma ye gadi le sakta hu shauk ha or school chala sakte hai, kyonki ma maruti echo private chala raha hu.
