Mahindra has confirmed the launch of Bolero Neo for India as a replacement for TUV300. It is well-known that Mahindra has some ambitious plans for the next couple of years in terms of new launches. This includes products like next-gen Scorpio, 7-seat XUV700, XUV500 (Creta-Rival), XUV900 (Coupe SUV), 5-Door Thar, XUV300 Sportz (with a new Stallion Engine) to name a few. However, Bolero is Mahindra’s one of the highest-selling products month on month. That is the reason why Mahindra wants to rename the TUV300 as Bolero Neo. It will be sort of an upgraded version of the regular Bolero, which will also launch in a new-gen avatar soon. Mahindra has mentioned the arrival of the Bolero Neo on its website and the launch might take place soon. Let us see what to expect from the upcoming SUV.
