Our take
Keep the ₹0.50L: the Bolero Neo Plus P10 only adds small touches like wheel type (Alloy against Steel) and rear wiper & washer. Nothing there changes the car.
- Only the Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus seats 9, worth knowing if you need the space
- The ₹0.50L step to the Bolero Neo Plus P10 only buys minor trim: wheel type (Alloy against Steel) and rear wiper & washer
- Going to the Bolero Neo Plus P10, you give up airbags (6 against 2), electronic stability control and tyre pressure monitor, which the AircrossX Turbo Plus keeps
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Plus if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.50L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus P10 if
- You prefer this spec and the price gap does not bother you
