Agni Inc. the sole distributor for Mahindra vehicles in Nepal is soon launching two new SUVs in Nepal. The company is about to bring two new recently launched SUVs in the Indian market, i.e. Mahindra Bolero Neo and XUV700.
The new Mahindra XUV700 was launched in India with a brand new logo.
Mahindra Bolero Neo
Design
Glancing at the front, the new Bolero Neo gets a fresh look with sleeker repositioned LED DRLs. Likewise, the front bumper of the SUV is also updated with a new set of fog lamps. The front grille in the Neo is also a notable update contrasting to the previous iteration.
Although some elements in the SUV adopt new looks, the classic standard Bolero design cues like clam-shell bonnet, squared-off, and marginally flared wheel arches still remain the same. The SUV now runs on dual five-spoke silver alloy wheels and long roof rails inherited from the TUV 300.
Interior
The interior cabin of the Mahindra Bolero reminds us of the TUV300. Compared to the standard Bolero, the Bolero Neo now gets tons of the latest tech updates and features. The dashboard is now stacked with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, USB, AUX, and six speakers. The instrument console still remains the same with a new addition of a three-spoke adjustable steering wheel with mounted controls.
In the center console remain the control buttons for the power windows, a couple of cup holders, arms rests, gear levers, and so on. The second row features bench-type seats followed by other features like electrically adjustable ORVMs, rear wiper, central locking, height-adjustable seats, and so on.
