Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better between Bolero and Scorpio and which will be easy to maintain?
  • Mahindra Bolero is still one of the bestselling Mahindra SUVs in the country with no direct rivals. It is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine making 75PS and 210Nm mated to a 5-speed manual transmission gearbox. The SUV covers all the basic necessities and also offers micro-hybrid system (engine start-stop system), audio system with USB support, fog lamps, rear wash wipe, and a flip key (new) and the safety features include driver airbag, driver and co-driver seatbelt reminder, high-speed alert, and rear parking sensors. It could be a good option if you are looking for a rough and tough SUV built to tackle various road conditions in the country. On the other hand, Mahindra Scorpio has been in the market for nearly a decade and a half. With the new model, it improvises in looks, fit and finish, and crucially, dynamics. Mahindra has also packed in a lot of equipment in the new Scorpio and when you consider its price tag, it makes a good case for itself. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
