Mahindra Bolero more than just a workhorse

Hardworking and versatility are key when it comes to the features of a bakkie that can take the punch in any environment and is dedicated not to let its owner down.
The Mahindra Bolero makes hard work easy. It is a tough vehicle which keeps you safe and comfortable even when you are carrying a heavy load. It is easy to maintain, fuel economical and offers utility, durability and reliability that is exceptional. Its signature front grille an solid stance give it a real presence on or off the road.
The interior has been designed to make any drive an easy and enjoyable one. The soft-to-the-touch vinyl seat upholstery, comfortable armrests, ergonomically designed gear knob and easy-to-read instrument cluster are all created with convenience in mind. Mahindra has also thrown in door map pockets, rubber flooring and a space-saving centre console to add to the comfort of the cabin as well as a powerful air-conditioning system (not available in the Dropside or Loader models) that is sure to cool you down after a hard day of work.

From cargo to crates, sand to scaffolding, the Bolero is built to carry any load. The load box is capacious with a maximum weight of one ton and a capacity of 2 520 m³. The high walls, fold-down panels and easy-to-clean surface of the load box are made highly functional, while the strong chassis provides the ideal base for heavy lifting.
The Bolero comes with a high ground clearance. a 6,75 m, turning radius for easy manoeuvrability and a hydraulic clutch for effortless gear shifting. A disc/drum brake combination prevents rear-wheel locking and stops the vehicle in its tracks. The low centre of gravity, wide radials and anti-roll bar give the Bolero anti-topple stability in uncertain driving conditions, with an extra thick corrosion-resistant sheet metal body barricading the occupants against impact. The Mahindra comes standard with a 2 year/50 000 km warranty.
Under the hood is a powerful 2,5 litre diesel engine which delivers 74 kW of power and 238 Nm of torque enabling great efficiency on any terrain.
The fuel economy of the turbocharged engine makes the Bolero the perfect workhorse. It pulls cleanly from 1 000 rpm in third gear, making it the ideal companion on dirt roads and rugged terrain.
