I have been using Mahindra Bolero for 7 years in one of the worst road condition. Mahindra did not build Bolero as off road car and it does not come with any off road capabilities features like any other off road car for instance Rubicon, which doesn't come at affordable price at all. And one that offer by Mahindra, thar doesn't come at any special features except for few gizmos and crde engine and Jeep like looks at extravagant price and not comfortable at all.
At this price range Bolero best serve the purpose of our practical off roading. I find the milage good and ground clearance average. My experience is with two wheeler and yet it has serve me well so 4x4 that come in optional will be boon. Any worst road Scorpio and safari can handle, this Bolero can just do at ease. Buying features pack car is matter of cash and most of those car are made for those can afford it, not to mention some guy who own land rover never went for off roading.
Bolero which does not come with any modern off roading features still is best for common man who want a reliable car for day to day off roading purpose. What I particularly dislike about this car is loud engine sound( improved remarkably with new mhalk D70) and maintenance cost. But for rural and hill area off roading Bolero is the best.
Who can buy:
Any one with business in rural area with bad road conditions, this car I highly recommend. It is durable and tough build all metal body, however, rear suspension with leaf spring will be disappointing yet with upgrade in all terrain Tyre, it will best serve your purpose in all off roading. It has good pick up, engine and gearbox is reliable.
Who must not buy
Any person wanted to buy suv but not for off roading(not recommended for serious off roader and sports), Bolero is not a good option, it is not features rich car, it don't have features that most modern cars have. Fit and finishes is not at all good, rear leg room too lack amble space, ac need improvement, etc and improvements list go on.
