Mahindra Bolero vs Renault Kiger: which should you buy?
The full picture
The Renault Kiger starts at ₹5.81L against the Mahindra Bolero's ₹8.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹2.68L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹9.99L, where the Bolero tops out. Past that only the Kiger has anything left to sell you, up to ₹10.40L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Bolero seats 7, the Kiger 5.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Bolero comes in diesel, the Kiger in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Bolero B8 at ₹9.99L or the Kiger Techno at ₹9.40L, the Kiger leaving ₹59,000 of that in your pocket.
Our take
Keeps ₹59,000, and gives up only wheel type (Alloy against Steel) and rear defogger
Buy the Renault Kiger Techno and keep the ₹59,000: the Bolero B8 only adds small touches like wheel type (Alloy against Steel), rear defogger and leatherette upholstery. Nothing there changes the car.
