In the case of Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV), the domestic automaker Mahindra & Mahindra has always been number one. Although the company also introduced sedans and hatchback cars in the market, but the fame that the company’s SUV models got could not give cars with other body types. The journey that started with the manufacture of vehicles like Jeep in the domestic market has today reached premium SUVs with advanced features like the XUV700.

Mahindra has introduced many new vehicles in the market over time, some of them even discontinued due to poor performance, but Bolero, which is included in Mahindra’s vehicle portfolio, has been making great strides for almost two decades. Mahindra introduced the Bolero for the first time in the year 2000 and till now it has been updated many times, due to which its craze among the customers remains even today.

When the company launched the first generation model of Mahindra Bolero in the domestic market on August 4, 2000, its initial price was fixed at just Rs 4.98 lakh. Recently the company has launched the new Mahindra Bolero Neo, whose price starts from Rs 8.48 lakh.
