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.
Speaking on the launch of the 2018 Mahindra Bolero Pik-up range, Veejay Nakra, Chief – Sales and Marketing, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd said,
"As a market leader for over 20 years, it has always been our endeavour to raise the bar in the pickup segment and provide the best customer value.
