1. Advanced Digital Instrument Cluster

Base B4 Variant onwards- Rs. 9.79 lakhs

The Mahindra Bolero, for quite some time, has been offering a fully digital instrument cluster, which by this SUV's nature, is a big-time upgrade. Interestingly, it has been offering this when digital clusters weren't common and this added a unique touch to the SUV. Plus, the cluster looked very nice in the nighttime.

Competition Check: The Bolero Neo doesn't offer any digital instrument cluster and even the Scorpio Classic misses out on this one.

2. Dual Airbags

Base B4 Variant onwards- Rs. 9.79 lakhs

Mahindra Bolero, even in its top-spec trim, offers just a dual airbag set-up, which is according to recent times, a very basic safety feature. This could have been done to keep the costs in check, but we expect it to offer a little more in terms of this cushioned safety tech. However, the dual airbags are standard across all variants.

Competition Check- Notably, both the Mahindra Scorpio Classic and the Bolero Neo also offer just a dual airbags set-up. This stands true for their top-spec variants as well.

3. All Power Windows

B6 Onwards Rs. 10.00 lakhs Ex-showroom

The mid-spec B6 variant onwards, the Bolero comes with all power windows which is a convenient feature that finds its usage in daily life. However, with the base trim, you only get front-powered windows.

Competition Check- The Bolero Neo and the Scorpio Classic, both comes with power windows as standard across variants.

4. Micro Hybrid Technology

Base B4 Variant onwards- Rs. 9.79 lakhs

The Mahindra Bolero incorporated a Micro-hybrid tech that aids in a more fuel-efficient drive, helping in better fuel economy. When the car comes to a halt and the driver releases the clutch after shifting it to neutral, it shuts off the engine to save fuel. As soon as the driver presses the clutch to go off, the engine is automatically restarted, saving fuel at stops across the travel.

Competition Check- The Bolero Neo and the Scorpio Classic come with this micro-hybrid tech as standard across its variants.

5. Rear Wiper And Washer

B6(O)- Rs. 10.91 lakhs

The top-spec trim comes with a rear wiper with a washer function, which is an essential feature that helps clear the rear view field of the driver without having to stop and exit the vehicle to wipe the rear windshield off.

Competition Check- The Bolero Neo, in its N8 variant onwards, offers a rear wiper with a defogger, but misses out on the washer function. The Scorpio Classic offers the exact same functionality as the Bolero Classic but with superior aeroblade wipers in its S11 variant.
