Mahindra Bolero Special edition launched with new features

Mahindra & Mahindra, the Indian automajor has added a new special edition to its Bolero SUV line-up in India. The Bolero special edition is based on the top-end ZLX trim and gets a new pearl white paint shade with sporty decals, European leather interiors and a music system with Bluetooth and USB compatibility. According to the company, only 500 such units will be sold across the nation.

The Bolero Special Edition continues to be powered by the standard engine available across the range, a 2.5-litre m2DiCR engine which has a power output of 62 BHP @ 3200 RPM and a peak torque of 195 NM @ 1400-2200 RPM on offer.

The new Special Edition Mahindra Bolero also claims to offer ABS, a feature that has never before been offered on the Bolero as a part of the package. The system offered though is only on the drum brake equipped rear wheels and not on the front. On further enquiry, we found out that the ABS system that Mahindra claims is in fact not a full fledged conventional ABS setup but a low cost sensor that releases the brakes if the wheel Rpm drops below a certain value.

The Bolero special edition is expected to be priced at a premium of around Rs. 50,000 over the ZLX variant.
