Mahindra has announced that its SUV, the Bolero Power+, has received BS6 certification, well ahead of its early 2020 launch. While the introduction of BS6 engine is still a few months away, the Mahindra has updated the basic safety net of the Bolero. It now gets:

Mahindra will not only introduce these features on the Bolero Power+, it has also confirmed that other variants of the Bolero such as the Bolero Plus (9 seater) and the Bolero Ambulance will get these. 

The Bolero Power+ is powered by a 1.5-litre mHawk D70 diesel engine that makes 71.3PS of power and 195Nm of peak torque mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. This is the same engine that also powers the Mahindra TUV300. Mahindra had earlier confirmed that the bigger 2.5-litre engine will also be migrated to meet BS6 norms. This engine powers the standard Bolero, Bolero Plus and the Bolero Ambulance.

The Mahindra Bolero Power+ is currently priced from Rs 7.49 lakh to Rs 9.04 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), thanks to a price hike of upto Rs 40,000. With the introduction of the BS6 engine, these prices are expected to go further up by upto Rs 80,000.
