2024 Mahindra Bolero Camper Review
The 2024 Mahindra Bolero Camper is a one-of-a-kind pick-up that makes a perfect alternative to the common Mitsubishi L200, Isuzu D-Max, Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, and Volkswagen Amarok. This Indian-owned rugged pickup is tailored for adventurous escapades in the hilly terrains of Ngon’g or even a recreational drive in the Nairobi suburbs. When hauling freight, you don’t need to look anywhere. The camper has a spacious bed and robust leaf springs making the heavy loads appear featherweight. Former President Uhuru Kenyatta was once spotted driving the Bolero Camper in Narok while enjoying his retirement. A gesture that this pick-up is not only valued commercially but also the high and the mighty adore it.

2024 MAHINDRA BOLERO CAMPER EXTERIOR
Mahindra since its inception is renowned for producing boxy vehicles. The 2024 Bolero Camper has not departed from the boxy silhouette that lends it a rugged and bold appearance. This pick-up prioritizes durability over aesthetics. The front end is distinguished by a five-slot grille adorned with the chrome-accented Mahindra emblem stamping its authority. Flanking the grille are halogen headlights that complement its rugged nature.
The side profile is very conservative. The muscular wheel arches house 17-inch steel wheels that provide excellent grip on the road. Side steps allow passengers to effortlessly embark or disembark from the vehicle.
The rear is very boxy incorporating taillights and turn signals. The large tailgate is manually operated and it is affixed with the Mahindra wording asserting its presence. The Bolero camper is minimal in aesthetics but does not disappoint in performance.
2024 MAHINDRA BOLERO CAMPER ON-ROAD PERFORMANCE
The 2024 Mahindra Bolero Camper is largely designed for off-roading but be that as it may, its on-road handling will not meet your expectations if you are looking for a comfy and sporty truck. However, as much as it is not passenger-oriented, it handles very well on highways but with a firm ride. It comes with one engine option. A 2.5 l Diesel producing 75 horsepower and 200NM of torque connected to a 5-speed manual transmission. This powertrain is not only fuel economical but also delivers equally when it comes to performance.
The driver has excellent visibility and command of the oncoming traffic. The steering wheel is power-assisted hence it adapts effectively to road curvature. It does not boast a brisk acceleration thus individuals who value speed will not find it in the Bolero Camper. Owing to its high ground clearance resulting in a high center of gravity, it is recommended to slow down when cornering to minimize body rolls.

On the downside, the diesel engine under the hood produces high levels of noise and since the cabin is not thoroughly insulated, your ride comfort tends to be affected.
2024 MAHINDRA BOLERO CAMPER OFF-ROAD PERFORMANCE
You cannot converse matters off-roading without mentioning the 2024 Mahindra Bolero Camper. Just from its appearance, it tells you that off-roading is its cup of tea. Whether cruising the sandy terrains in Garrisa or rocky roads in Mt. Elgon, the Bolero Camper does not disappoint.
The 2.5 L Diesel churns out ample torque that makes it unassailable when going off-road. It comes standard with a 4X4 drivetrain that enhances traction when driving on slippery surfaces like mud, sand, or even gravel. Owing to its high ground clearance, the angles of approach and departure have been elevated allowing the Camper to clear inclined and reclined surfaces without damaging its body components.
The all-terrain 17-inch steel wheels provide excellent grip on the surface being driven on. The suspension system allows moderate articulation. The camper sits on a ladder-frame chassis that enhances its agility making it a formidable competitor to the Hilux and D-Max.
