Mahindra & Mahindra on Monday unveiled the new version of its Bolero sports utility vehicle with the new mHawkD70 engine.

Mahindra claims the mHAWKD70 engine delivers 13 per cent more power and 5 per cent more mileage over the existing Bolero. The car, however, comes with the same interior space to seat seven people as in the existing Bolero.

The New Bolero Power+ with the mHawkD70 engine will be available in 3 variants – SLE, SLX & ZLX -- across Mahindra dealerships at a price of Rs.6.59 lakhs (ex-showroom Navi Mumbai for SLE BS4 variant) starting today.

“The Bolero has been India’s No.1 SUV for 10 years in a row from 2005-06 to 2015-16 and the all New Bolero Power+ is an evolution of this powerful brand. In our endeavour to enhance the product value proposition, we have introduced the New Bolero Power+ with the mhawkD70 engine delivering more power, more mileage and a peppier drive. I am sure that the New Bolero Power+, with its overall better value proposition, will heighten its appeal not only amongst its core customers but also excite more buyers,” said Pravin Shah, President & Chief Executive (Automotive), Mahindra & Mahindra.

Mahindra has also thrown in some cool features, including a digital instrument cluster, a Driver Information System (DIS), a voice messaging system and the fuel-saving Micro Hybrid technology on ZLX. This technology allows the vehicle to intelligently switch the engine into the standby mode when not required – ensuring lower fuel consumption while being more environment-friendly. The New Bolero Power+ also comes with an engine immobiliser, which shuts down the engine if any key other than your key is used, ensuring safety of the vehicle.
