After the launch of KUV 100, TUV 300 and NuvoSport back to back, Mahindra and Mahindra is readying its fourth compact SUV, the Mini Bolero which has currently lined-up. This mini SUV has been shaved by 170 mm to fall under the sub-four meter vehicle category.
According to the company sources, the new Mini Bolero will come with the same wheelbase as its bigger sibling has, while the front and the rear overhangs will be reduced. The re-profiled front and the rear bumper will give the Mini Bolero a new face. The new mini version features the same dashboard as seen in the Bolero.
Even after getting shortened by 170 mm, the Mini Bolero will be a 7-seater vehicle. However, the last row will get jump seats same as the NovaSport and TUV 300 have.

The major change took place under the hood, instead of the heavy 2.5-litre diesel motor, the mini version will feature the newest 1.5-litre 3-cylinder mHawk diesel engine in order to give a class -leading fuel efficiency. This is the same engine which also powers the two other compact SUVs, TUV 300 and NovaSport. However, in terms of power, it develops a modest 68 bhp which is still more compared to the standard Bolero which develops a maximum power of 63 bhp.
To keep the name ‘Bolero’ alive, Mahindra has all set to lure the buyers with the new compact crossover, Mini Bolero. It has to be seen whether the company will get the title of ‘the most selling SUV’ back.
