One glance at the Bolero’s bulbous exterior and the lack of curves makes its presence felt. Maybe a few years back this would have been known as an SUV but then progression of SUVs has moved so progressively in India that the lack of curves and boxy look makes the Bolero look different. The front bumpers do add a nice touch and makes a nice statement. The rugged out of town is the one that stands out. The only statement you make when you own one is that you make frequent trips out of town and you have a large family to move around.
The engine on offer is a 2.5l diesel and is much more refined than the previous offering. This does not take much from the power which is 64bhp at 3200rpm. It is a really good companion for traveling away from the tarmac and good low end torque to ride over gradients and basically anything different from the tarmac’s potholes. The suspension is on the stiff side which is very evident at slow speeds but then evens out at high or even moderate speeds. The steering is quite responsive taking into consideration the bulk it has to handle and the transmission is something we will try not to talk about. The heavy clutch and gearshifts add to the woes.
The seating positions and leg views are adequate to say the least. The mileage figures are the ones that really catch the eye and could be the USP for this brawler. You can expect close to 14kpl in the city and an astonishing 18kpl on the highway.
Advantages :
