Car buying Spree - Booked 3 cars in 3 days - None for us!

I never knew Bolero is so cheap! How much does SLX cost then?

SLX 2WD comes for 6.8 lakhs & 4WD for 7.7 lakhs, both prices on-road, its the top end model with DI engine.

above this you get the VLX with the stonker CRDe engine!

Coil spring suspension will be better in bad roads.

Good for ride comfort, not good for abuse. nevertheless being a mahindra, i assume it can take quite a lot of beating before giving up.

Congrats for the booking of Bolero SLE, Raj. Sounds a wise decision, Apart from these features, Mahindra has tried keeping the Bolero up to-date, by offering flip-type key and more! And yes, I’ll be happy to see the images of a Bolero, even if it’s dirty because that’s the real work this car is best doing at.

Drive Safe,

Indeed. A rugged MUV like the Bolero is meant to get dirty, as it conquers all sorts of challenging terrains. A flip-type key on the Bolero? Now that's a first! Oh, and 350Z, he's booked a Non-A/C Bolero, not an SLX.

350Z, he's booked a Non-A/C Bolero, not an SLX.

He has now booked an A/C Bolero instead, refer to this post. But correction in my previous post – It’s SLE not SLX.

I see. Good choice then, Rajeev. I'm assuming it has a single blower. Will it be sufficient?
And what are your ICEing plans on your new cars?

i dont know bolero comes with a flip key! i will kill mahindra if it does come because even scorpio does not come with one!

+1 to the dirty bolero part!

We have purposely selected the SLE over the SLX as we dint want the car to have power windows & keyless entry, etc. SLE has a longer waiting period than the SLX. nobody on the site would maintain the vehicle like we (private owners) do & in a year or two, the power windows will pack up & the windows will go neither up nor down! safer bet is manual winding. our sites are in remote locations where mahindra A.S.S would not be available & the vehicle may even miss its scheduled services & if done, will be at a local garage. thats the reason for choosing the SLE. infact, thats the reason for choosing the bolero!

I see. Good choice then, Rajeev. I'm assuming it has a single blower. Will it be sufficient?

you mean a single compressor? its better than a non-AC bolero is what i can say!

by the way, the bolero's AC is very effective in the front two rows because the cabin is relatively small & even the windows are small.

And what are your ICEing plans on your new cars?

None, all 3 cars are company cars. Ritz & Vista will have OE ICE whereas the bolero will have nothing!

by the way, colour of the bolero is silver.

A flip key on Bolero? Even some much costlier cars don have one!
