First launched in the year 2000, the Bolero has been one of the most consistent performers for Mahindra. Months after months, years after years it has been garnering strong sales for the company. However, despite being in production for 2 decades, the basic design of Bolero has remained the same Here is how a 2006 Bolero has been modified to its 2019 model.
2 Videos of the modification work have been uploaded by a youtube channel that goes by the name of Tushar Guruji. In the two videos so far only the bodywork has been with more work to be done. However, the front of the car has been completely modified and it doesn't look as if the car in question here is a 14-year-old car.
The first video uploaded shows the condition of the car in which it was given for the modification work. It is clearly seen that the car has suffered from a lot of abuse. The paintwork has faded off and the interior trims have also suffered quite some amount of abuse and damage. Also in addition to this, the dust has accumulated in the footwells of the vehicle.

The second video shows the work in progress on the Bolero. It can be seen that the front end has been done completely and the vehicle has been repainted. The only things that tell us that the Bolero here is a 2006 model car are the hump over the 3rd row and the large sliding glass for the 3rd-row passengers.
Based on the Mahindra Armada Grand, the Bolero has been powered by many engine options over the years. Initially powered by a Peugeot sourced 2.5 IDI, the Bolero later got powered by the same engine in multiple tunes ranging from 62 BHP and 190 Nm to even 100 BHP and 255 Nm.
