The Mahindra Bolero Neo (Formerly Mahindra TUV 300) is a mini SUV manufactured by the Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra since 2015.
First announced by Mahindra & Mahindra in August 2015 as TUV 300, the microsite of the vehicle went live by the same month. The vehicle was officially launched on September 10, 2015 in Madhya Pradesh. It is built on the same platform as the Mahindra Scorpio. It employs the same mHawk engine series as the XUV500 and Scorpio but with a smaller engine displacement resulting in a lower engine power and torque. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
The TUV300 was Mahindra's attempt to create a more modernised Bolero which was a proven car but with dated design and equipment. It was designed by Mahindra's Design Studio in Mumbai, with the product engineering being done at Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai. Hence, it carries some design elements from the Bolero. However, the boxy design of the Bolero was modified to create a swept back design to give the car an aerodynamic look. It is rumoured that one of the first prototypes of the TUV300 crashed into a tree branch that was lying low above a road, and the resultant bend in the pillars and roof inspired the designers to achieve the quirky design where the A, B and C Pillars are swept back to a high angle while the D Pillar remains vertical. [8] This quirky design was not widely accepted, which led to mediocre sales of the TUV300 while its product predecessor Bolero still had consistently strong sales.
TUV300 was available in manual transmission and an automated manual transmission (AMT) known as Autoshift. There were in total seven trim levels available. Five trim levels use a manual transmission, while the last two uses an automated manual transmission. The manual transmission models have a power output of 85 PS (84 bhp; 63 kW) whereas the Autoshift models have a power output of 82 PS (81 bhp; 60 kW). [1] The T10 and T8 models feature a power output of 101 PS (100 bhp; 74 kW). Later updated Bolero Neo is Available in Manual Transmission only .The Bolero Neo has 3 Variants N4, N8 and N10R and N10(O) with an optional pack.
On June 20, 2018, the TUV300 Plus was launched. It was an extended variant of the TUV300 with nine seats instead of seven, with the vehicle length stretched to 4,440 mm (175 in). It is powered by a larger 2.2-litre mHawk 120 engine that produces 122 PS (120 bhp; 90 kW), 21 PS up on the standard TUV300. On April 16, 2024, Mahindra relaunched TUV300 Plus as Bolero Neo Plus with certain upgrades such as 9 inch infotainment system etc.
The Bolero Neo received 1 star for adult occupants and 1 star for toddlers from Global NCAP in 2024 (based on Latin NCAP 2016): [9]
