Mahindra Bolero [2011-2020] User Reviews

1.      

Engine behaves erratic while at slow speed and suddenly accelerates at 40kmph on 2nd or 3rd gear. Steering wobbles at the speed of 95 and above (wheel balancing is done 3 times but no change)

3.       Steering Column rattles on uneven surfaces.

4.       Driver seat rattles and makes noise on uneven surfaces.

5.       Differential makes noise despite it has been repaired threetimes. My vehicle has been to the workshop at least 20 times since it was purchased 2 months back. I am appaled at the quality of manufacturing.  Stepney door does not lock with remote locking.

7.       Stereo must be changed its functions are unclear and hard to operate while driving.

8.       Power steering pipe at the bottom of the vehicle needs to be bent to avoid connect on rough roads.

9.       Noise from left front wheel. There was no speaker on the front left side.

I have been a mahindra customer since early sixties but this is my last purchase. Good bye Mahindra. I wish there was some other company manufacturing a jeep kind of thing. I would strongly urge companies to explore possibilities of manufactring better vehicles than sub standard mahindra's

Good picupbad workmanship. Very poor quality standards

 I am an NRI. I have bought the vehicle Bolero ZLX on 31/08/15

The vehicle is continuously having clutch break down which is already repaired two times but in vain.

Details are as follows

Vehicle --Bolero ZLX

Chasis no --F5 G 65912

Engine Number GRF4F86525

Car Registration No.  UP20AR1908

Dealer -- Tirupati Vehicles Pvt Limited , Bijnor

Inspite of my repeated complaints about Clutch Problem and vehicle checking at the service centre Bijnor with the assurance that car is working fine , first time it broke down at Nagina on 10th November 2015 and was serviced by Tirupati Vehicles , Bijnor by changing its Clutch Plate  and other damaged parts with huge bill.

Car again broke down on 13th Feb, 2016 and serviced by Sterling Motors , Faridabad @ 16073/= by replacing clutch / pressure plate / slv cylr and R 4WD.

Yesterday dated 18th Feb, 2016  on the way from Nagina to Delhi at Muradnagar again vehicle started giving Fumes and Smell. The car was towed away to the nearest service station Shiva Auto Car , Ghaziabad / Sahibadad.  Again they are assuring that vehicle is in working condition and you can take it to your agency. Company registered my complaint with complaint number 25845 without mentioning and registering my actual trouble I was facing.

This is really frustrating that the vehicle is having so much problem and service station is clueless of the problem.

Pls advise what should I do with this vehicle.

I hope a quick action from Mahindra care.

 

looksPoor Service , Less leg space

My experience is excellent i m surprised to saw my mileage meter that was on 26.7 km/l and I click picture also if any one want to see then message me..... feel like royal...its really very good experience i love bolero....

The superb quality of the vehicle and am very excited to be with my bolero I am always happy to be with my bolero I am lucky to have my bolero it's so beautiful and superb vehicle not only a vehicle

Exterior I bet this is the best vehicle with its tough looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) AC not much capacitive, will take lot of time to spread allover the vehicle, Hand rest for middle seats is not comfortable. No USB/bluetooth option. Remote locking and central locking both have with stepney door.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good at low speeds.

Fuel economy - Highway - 16kmpl (<80kmph), 13 kmpl (>80kmph) - With AC

                     - City - 11.5 (with AC)

Ride Quality & Handling You feel better while off roading because of its suspension and high ground clearance.

Earlier I used to ride on ford fiesta, it goes above 140 with ease, I tried to reach the same in my bolero, but at high speeds you feel like loosing your control on this beast (>110kmpl.)

Final Words My overall 1 month experience is good, i am expecting a better performance in all areas after first service.

they should have given options like ABS, Air Bags, USB etc...

Areas of improvement Remote locking, engine pick up (especially when AC is turned ON), door quality (sound while closing or opening the doors is very annoying, you feel like opening a old truck's door).  Should mandate safety features like ABS and Air bags for such a big beast.

Style and Fit for off roadingCheap plastics used, remote locking is not good

 

Exterior A few tweaks to the exterior have done the bolero some good, the new grill not being body coloured tends to stick out like a soar thumb.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No doubt the seats hve been improved however there is a lack of space by which i mean leg room, knee room. If you are a long legged person like me then forget about even driving it as the bottom portion of the dash on the driver side tends to hit the legs while driving causing a lot of dicomfort for the driver. The features like the power windows, keyless entry,addition of a rear wiper and washer is excellent. the aircon too is quite good. however the digital instrument cluster is a let down as it does not have the upmarket feel to it. The rear seat leg room is ok for people with short legs.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine upgrade on the bolero has done it some good. it is quite responsive and has a decent torque. gearbox too is smooth but u need to have long hands to reach it.

Ride Quality & Handling The suspension is comfortable and tough enough to take on our mumbai roads.

Final Words The bolero is a value for money MUV and the features that it has been loaded with is hard to resist. However if you are a tall long legged person check it out twice before you make a choice.

Areas of improvement Legroom!!!! please thats the only thing that is lacking on the bolero! maybe you can convert the bolero into a 5 seater then surely the legroom could be better.

good style, new engine has excellent power and torque, rear windscreen washer and wiper a boondigital instrument cluster not that attractive, the pedals very awkwardly placed

This car is the comfort and heavy body. It looks good. Service of this car is less. Riding experience is much better than another cars feel very comfortable.the engine is a very good performance.

Driving the Mahindra Bolero is an experience that blends ruggedness with comfort, making every journey enjoyable and smooth as you settle in the driver's seat you are greeted by a spacious and ergonomics cabin designed for both utility and convenience.

I brought new Mahindra bolero past year. the exterior of the vehicle is very good with 3D sticker graphics and created a new look of SUV. The interior of the vehicle with a maple wood desktop creates an attractive peace. the driving seat was very comfortable with huge space. finally I will go with 4 stars.
