Mahindra & Mahindra has launched an updated
range of the Bolero Pik-Up. Promoted as 'Maha' Bolero Pik-Up, the 2018 model
has an introductory starting price of INR 6.66 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune). The 2018 Mahindra Bolero Pik-Up
range consists of varying body styles and payload capacities of 1,300 kg, 1,500
kg & 1,700 kg. The base variant is most suitable for inter and intra-city
applications. The 1.5-ton version makes a lot of sense for heavy load
applications in tough terrains, while the one with highest payload capacity can
be used for long-distance applications with the national transport permit.
All the versions feature Twin Tandem Booster LSPV
brakes and stronger body and chassis. The pickup truck has received a handful
of mechanical updates, including a double bearing axle, stronger 9-leaf
suspension and 15-inch 12-ply radial tires to support the heavy load.
A 2.5-litre m2DICR turbocharged diesel engine
continues to drive the entire range of Bolero-based pickups. It produces a
maximum power of 70 hp @ 3,200 rpm and a peak torque of 195 Nm between 1,500 -
1,800 rpm. The motor comes mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends
power to the rear wheels.
Inside, the 2018 Mahindra Bolero Pik-Up features
revised co-driver seat and other minor updates to enhance the occupant comfort
levels. The 2018 Mahindra Bolero Pik-up range is available with “India Ka No.
1 Pickup Ka Vaada” scheme that offers 2 years of free maintenance and Rs. 4
lakh buyback guarantee after 4 years.
