The Bolero Neo was not able to make a splash in the Indian market that Mahindra was hoping for. In the crash test rating as well, the Bolero Neo was not able to score a good rating. It scored just 1 star with the body shell and footwell area deemed unstable.
The Carens has become quite popular in the Indian market. This is because it offers high quality interior, good amount of space, multiple engine options and plethora of features as well. The first model was tested back in May 2023 where it scored 1 star whereas in the second test in which the MPV was improved with structural enhancements, the rating was improved to 3 stars. However, the bodyshell was still rated unstable.
