      The Bolero is an awesome vehicle—I absolutely love it! It offers excellent pickup, great mileage, and impressive load capacity. The comfort level is top-notch, and the design is both rugged and stylish. It's especially well-suited for hill areas, handling tough terrains with ease. I've had no issues with the pickup at all. I truly love my Bolero!

      The new Bolero Neo is definitely a good vehicle with some great features, but when compared to the Bolero B6, it doesn’t quite match up. In my opinion, the B6 stands out as the better option overall — whether in terms of performance, feel, or value. Thanks to Mahindra for both models, but for me, B6 is still the winner.
