India’s leading utility and sports utility vehicle manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra will launch the new-generation Bolero (Code-named U301) sometime during this year’s festive season. Though the company might announce its name or unveil it on July 30, 2015. The new-gen model is expected to be smaller than the current model, though it will be slightly more premium and will be positioned above the existing model. Just so you know, both the current Bolero and this mini-Bolero SUV will co-exist together, and the company will target semi-urban and rural areas with this. Since the vehicle is already on test, we know that it will be a sub-4 metre in length so to avail excise duty benefits given to the cars measuring below 4 metres.

Moreover, the 2015 U301 Bolero will be based on a hydroformed ladder frame chassis which makes it considerably lighter than the current model.
