We recently revealed in the “Confidential Section” of our latest issue that Mahindra is planning a facelift of the Bolero MUV and these are the first spy pictures, sent by one of our forum members.
As seen in one of the images, Mahindra will add a new variant called the ZLX in the Bolero lineup. The refreshed Bolero gets a slightly revised grill with a darker grey shade (which was earlier body-coloured) that gives it a more prominent look. The front bumper is all-new as well. The updated Bolero will have a rear-wiper with a defroster to meet future CMVR (Central Motor Vehicle Rules); however there are no fog lamps and no alloy wheels.
The interiors are where the major changes are evident; the plastics are now beige in colour, there is an all-new digital instrument console, with an LED display for the speedometer, fuel gauge and engine temperature. There is an all-new leather-wrapped steering wheel with aluminium inserts that give the car a better overall feel. The centre console now gets wood trims, however the overall plastic quality remains similiar to the earlier model which is quite poor,
The refreshed Bolero will get the same 75bhp Low-Cost-Common-Rail (LCCR) engine from the recently introduced Scorpio EX. The updated Bolero will hit the streets very shortly.
