Design and Features
- Design-wise, the Bolero Neo Plus will look similar to its standard version, save for some minor cosmetic changes like a revised front grille, redone bumpers and new headlamps with LED daytime running lamps (DRLs).
- When it comes to features, the extended Bolero Neo will retain all features of the standard model, including 7-inch touchscreen infotainment, coloured MID, cornering lamps, cruise control, steering mounted controls, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors.
- In compliance with the upcoming safety regulations, the SUV is anticipated to have six airbags as standard, ensuring enhanced protection for occupants.
