Mahindra Bolero Power Plus launched in India at Rs 6.59 lakh

The new Mahindra Bolero Power Plus has been launched in the Indian market at Rs 6.59 lakh (ex-showroom Navi Mumbai). This new model is offered in SLE, SLX and ZLX trims and comes powered by a new mHawk D70 engine.

The cosmetic changes to the new Bolero Power Plus include reworked bumpers and new decals. And this is now a sub four-metre vehicle. The cabin of the SUV benefits from a new fabric and better cushioning for the seven seats. However, the dual tone interior has the same layout as the present Bolero. Thankfully, the other technology features are carried over, including the digital instrument cluster, a Driver Information System (DIS), a voice messaging system, engine immobilizer and the fuel-saving Micro Hybrid technology.

The most exciting change lies under the hood of the Bolero Power Plus. It is the new 1.5 litre mHawk D70 diesel mill that churns out 70bhp of power and 195Nm of torque. According to the manufacturer this new powerplant is 13 per cent more powerful and five per cent more efficient than the present Bolero. It comes mated to the same five-speed manual gearbox. Fuel economy is rated at 16.5kmpl (ARAI-certified).

Pravin Shah, President and Chief Executive (Automotive), Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, “The Bolero has been India’s number one SUV for 10 years in a row from 2005-06 to 2015-16 and the all New Bolero Power+ is an evolution of this powerful brand. In our endeavour to enhance the product value proposition, we have introduced the New Bolero Power+ with the mhawkD70 engine delivering more power, more mileage and a peppier drive. I am sure that the New Bolero Power+, with its overall better value proposition, will heighten its appeal not only amongst its core customers but also excite more buyers.”

Mahindra has been bringing in small but significant changes in the Bolero ever since its launch in August 2000. The brand's constant endeavour in evolving the car by incorporating new features has helped them make the Bolero the number one selling SUV in India. The new Bolero, christened as the Bolero Power+, should help the carmaker better their sales numbers with the onset of the festive season.
