As mentioned above, the Bolero Neo will come with the same 1.5L, 3-cylinder diesel engine that did duty in the TUV300. Though, the motor has been calibrated to meet the BS6 emission standards. The oil burner makes a top power of 100bhp and 240Nm of toque. A 5-speed manual gearbox will be standard across the SUV model lineup. Select variants will be available with an AMT gearbox option. No changes are likely to be made to its suspension and braking mechanism.
The teaser video reveals that the Mahindra Bolero Neo will have a completely revised front fascia. It features redesigned headlamps with horizontally positioned LED DRLs (daytime running lights), updated bumper, wider air dam and circular fog lamp assembly. The SUV will feature squarish wheel arches and side fender mounted indicators. Its rear section, however, will remain unchanged. Read – 2022 Mahindra Scorpio New Interior Details Revealed
