Mahindra Bolero:

Design:
The basic design is based on the Mahindra Armada Grand. The first-generation Bolero was equipped
with a Peugeot 2.5 L (150 in3) IDI engine which produced 76 PS (56 kW), although turbocharged versions
with or without an intercooler were also available, raising power to 95 or 101 PS (70 or 74 kW)
respectively. The second generation was released with slightly modified exteriors (a larger grille being
the most obvious change) and the major change was the engine, a 2.5 L (150 in3) in-house engine from
Mahindra. It is powered by a 72 PS (53 kW) 2,523 cc (154.0 cu in) turbo-charged direct injection diesel
engine.

In September 2011, the third generation Bolero was released, with a more thoroughly re-designed front
with jewelled headlamps. In India it is powered by the 63 PS (46 kW) M2DiCR diesel engine with a "soft
turbo", mated to a five-speed transmission. This latest engine meets the Bharat IV emissions standards.

Models and trims:

The Bolero is offered in the Indian domestic market in the following trims:

 EX – The "no frills" base model includes vinyl seats, basic digital instruments, and engine
immobilization but lacks even the most rudimentary of modern conveniences such as power
steering or air conditioning.
 SLE – This trim replaces vinyl with a fabric/vinyl mix, and adds power steering, air conditioning, a
heater, a second row center armrest, a remote fuel lid opener, and a spare wheel cover
 SLX – Adds CD and MP3 capability, body color ORVM, a body color spare wheel cover inserts,
wood finish on the central console, power windows, central locking, keyless entry, and a 12-volt
port.
 ZLX – the top of the line ZLX trim adds the Mahindra Micro Hybrid System (similar to start/stop),
a more advanced driver info system, exterior graphics, a rear windshield wiper, and VMS
 The DI is similar to the EX trim but is fitted with the rugged DI engine. The EX, SLE, SLX and ZLX
meanwhile are available with the M2DiCR low-cost common rail engine, which meets the BS IV
emissions standards (required in 13 major Indian cities)
 Bolero Power+ – Powered by the mHAWKD70 engine, available in ZLX (top end), SLX, SLE, and LX
variants. This model is 112 mm (4.4 in) shorter than a regular Bolero, down to 3,995 mm
(157.3 in) thanks to smaller front and rear bumpers. The old 2.5-litre four-cylinder m2DiCR
engine is replaced with the 1.5 three-cylinder mHawkD70 diesel. This produces more power
(52.5 kilowatt/ 71hp and torque remains same 195nm) than earlier models. Otherwise, interiors
and exteriors remain unchanged.
 An ambulance model is also available. The five-seat pickup version of the Bolero (nowadays
known as the Bolero Camper) entered production in Uruguay as the "Cimarron" in June 2004.
