Battle of the Entry Level UVs: Sumo Gold vs Bolero

[Raja]

Is a mini review enough?

When compared to the Bolero, the Sumo is more spacious, it's ride is more planted, engine is more refined and powerful. Ingress and egress in the Bolero is a pain, ride is stiffer and sitting in the middle row is a crime.

Where the Bolero scores is build quality. Somehow it feels more tightly screwed than the Sumo. Also, it feels more abuse friendly than the Sumo. The Bolero rolls a lot lesser than the Sumo in corners too. AC of the Bolero felt better too.

Steering feel of both vehicle is pathetic to say the least. Both are ergonomic disasters. The way the steering is positioned in the Sumo, you can never be comfortable. In the bolero, you sit so close to the windshield, that the steering is on your chest!

Overall, if you dont mind the boxy looks and if you can spend about 30-40k more than the Bolero, the Sumo GOLD is a much better vehicle and makes more sense to buy than the Bolero.

+100 for a unbaised , to the point mini yet precise review way better atleast then the mini review I did .
Thanx for the effort once again appreciate your effort .

I love to say this that I hate Sumo and Grande. They sound like a truk and drive worse.

Coming to sales figure, Bolero figures are combined of suv,pickups and trucks

what about Sumo I think sumo doesnt have trucks and pickups am I right?

 

[dharmesh]

I voted for Bolero. Just because it looks nice, seems to be more VFM, nice interiors.

Just a curiosity question !! Why only Sumo and Indica are used for all the IT cabs, why not Bolero ??

 

[jayadev]

probably because Tata offers better discounts at corporate levels

Cabs used in IT industry are not owned by big corporates.

They are small scale operators offering cab services to IT firms on contract.

@ jaydev - No the sumo dosent come in pickups.And you'r 100% correct bolero sales figures are all the versions of bolero including pickups , and whatever they have made out of it .

@ dharmesh Drive the Sumo gold cr4 you will love the power and comfort compared to bolero

I never ever give such harsh statements but bolero is the most horrible vehicle ever I have driven . But yes bolero looks better then sumo but can't even close to comfort , fun to drive nature and power with the sumo .

@ Gurralla - also the reason is indica and sumo carry more people in much more comfort .

since they are better in interior space ,they can then squeeze in an extra passenger in the cab.
