Mahindra has updated its bread and butter offering
Bolero with ABS. The new model's prices start at INR 7.68 lakh* for the base
SLE Power+ variant and extend up to INR 8.68 lakh* for ZLX Power+ variant. Beginning from 1 April 2019, ABS
has become mandatory in all M1 category vehicles, and from 1 July 2019 driver
airbag, speed alert warning, seat belt reminders and rear parking sensors have
become mandatory. So, the Bolero Power+ is kitted with all these safety
features.
Last month, it was announced that Mahindra will soon
discontinue the long Bolero, but will continue with the Bolero Power+. “From
ABS perspective and crash and safety perspective, our old Bolero, not the new
Bolero+ (Bolero Power +) which we do 7.5 thousand, and the long Bolero, they
will not qualify and it is not worthwhile to spend money for making them
BS-VI," said Rajan Wadhera, President, Mahindra and Mahindra, said at this
year's Analyst Meet recently.
Bolero churns out strongest sales for Mahindra in
its entire line-up but instead of coming up with a new model, it will upgrade
the existing model as per the latest market demands. Also, the company is
expected to bring new updates in the form of a higher bonnet, a softer bumper
and a redesigned grille with a minor refresh to make it safer for pedestrians
in case of a mishap.
It currently deploys the BS4, 1.5-litre diesel
engine which churns out 70 BHP at 3,600 rpm and 195 Nm at 1,400-2,200
rpm. This engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
