Mahindra Bolero Features, Photos and Videos

The Mahindra Bolero is a 7/9 seater SUV produced by Mahindra and Mahindra.

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.

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

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 "Cimarrón" in June 2004.

The Mahindra Bolero is an SUV-based pickup truck, available in AC and non-AC variants. Single or double cabin models are on offer. It was originally sold as the Bolero Single Cab or Bolero Double Cab, but from early 2002 the Double Cab model has been marketed as the Bolero Camper in India. It is powered by the 72 PS (53 kW) 2523 cc turbo-charged direct injection diesel engine, although the new, cleaner M2DiCR has also been an option and in earlier years Peugeot engines were also fitted. Drive is manual with 4WD optional, power steering is available. Default tyres are 235/75 R15 Goodyear Wrangler radials. Mileage 12.2 km/L (8.2 L/100 km; 29 mpg‑US) fuel economy in city with AC. Mileage 14 km/L (7.1 L/100 km; 33 mpg‑US) fuel economy on highway at around 80 to 100 km/h with AC.

There is also a five-seat pickup version with a shorter cargo area called the Bolero Commando, as well as 7/8-seater soft top model called the Bolero Invader.
