Mahindra Bolero vs Maruti Suzuki Brezza: which should you buy?
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza starts at ₹7.40L against the Mahindra Bolero's ₹8.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.09L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹9.99L, where the Bolero tops out. Past that only the Brezza has anything left to sell you, up to ₹13.55L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Bolero seats 7, the Brezza 5.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Bolero comes in diesel, the Brezza in petrol and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Bolero B8 at ₹9.99L or the Brezza VXi at ₹9.99L.
Our take
Same money either way, so take the Brezza VXi: airbags (6 against 2) and electronic stability control. The useful extras on top: wireless CarPlay / Android Auto and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim.
- Only the Mahindra Bolero seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- Also on the Brezza VXi: ISOFIX child seat anchorages, wired CarPlay / Android Auto, auto climate (single zone) and height-adjustable driver seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Brezza VXi, you give up leatherette upholstery, which the Bolero B8 keeps
- Choose the Mahindra Bolero B8 if
- Your budget is firm and the basics are enough for you
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
