History and Design

The basic design is based on the Mahindra Armada Grand. The first-generation Bolero was equipped with a Peugeot 2.5 L (150 in3) IDI engine which produced 76 PS (56 kW), although turbocharged versions with or without an intercooler were also available, raising power to 95 or 101 PS (70 or 74 kW) respectively. [3] The second generation was released with slightly modified exteriors (a larger grille being the most obvious change) and the major change was the engine, a 2.5 L (150 in3) in-house engine from Mahindra. It is powered by a 72 PS (53 kW)2,523 cc (154.0 cu in) turbocharged direct injection diesel engine.[ citation needed ]

In September 2011, the third generation Bolero was released, with a more thoroughly re-designed front with jewelled headlamps. [4] In India it is powered by the 63 PS (46 kW) M2DiCR diesel engine with a "soft turbo", mated to a five-speed transmission. [4] This latest engine meets the Bharat IV emissions standards.[ citation needed ]

[3] It is powered by the 72 PS (53 kW) 2523 cc turbo-charged direct injection diesel engine, although the new, cleaner M2DiCR has also been an option and in earlier years Peugeot engines were also fitted.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chevrolet K5 Blazer</span> American sport utility vehicle

The Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a full-size sport-utility vehicle that was built by General Motors. Being GM's smallest full-size SUV, the K5 Blazer is part of the C/K truck series. Introduced to the Chevrolet line for the 1969 model year, the K5 Blazer was replaced for 1995 by the Chevrolet Tahoe. In 1970, GMC introduced its own model of the truck, called the Jimmy, which was discontinued in 1991 and replaced by the Yukon. The "Jimmy" name was chosen to reflect how GM may sound in a similar manner to how Jeep was thought to be a pronunciation of GP in the competing market. Both were short-wheelbase trucks and available with either rear- or four-wheel drive. Despite all Chevrolet versions from 1969 to 1988 having the "K5" badge, GM never internally referred to the model as the K5 Blazer/K5 Jimmy. Officially, the vehicles have always been referred to as the Blazer/Jimmy, without the K5 prefix. After the release of the S-Series Blazer/Jimmy in 1983, the models were officially renamed "Chevrolet Full-Size Blazer" and "GMC K-Jimmy", though they are often unofficially still addressed as "K5" to avoid confusion.
