Our take
Keep the ₹0.39L: the Bolero Neo Plus P10 only adds small touches like touchscreen (9" against 7") and wheel type (Alloy against Steel). Nothing there changes the car.

- Also on the Bolero Neo Plus P10: touchscreen (9" against 7"), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Bolero Neo Plus P10, you give up airbags (6 against 2), electronic stability control and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Grand Vitara Delta keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Delta if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.39L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus P10 if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
