The Mahindra Bolero Neo N10 (R) is powered by a 1.5-litre mHawk100 diesel engine producing 100 bhp and a strong 260 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Its rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup makes it highly capable on rough terrain, broken roads, and load-carrying conditions.

Built on a body-on-frame chassis, the Bolero Neo offers excellent durability and long-term reliability, especially in rural areas. With 180 mm ground clearance and multi-link rear suspension, it handles uneven surfaces confidently.

Inside, the cabin is functional rather than premium, focusing on space and utility. Safety is respectable with ABS, dual airbags, ISOFIX mounts, and a 4-star safety rating. The N10 (R) variant also benefits from Mahindra’s Mechanical Locking Differential (MLD), which improves traction on slippery roads.

Overall, the Bolero Neo N10 (R) is best suited for buyers who need a tough, dependable, 7-seater diesel SUV rather than a feature-loaded urban crossover.
