This is the Bolero SLX with the Turbo DI 2.5L 63PS engine.
The car retails for 5.7 lakhs ex-showroom Pune (BS2) and 5.90 lakhs ex-showroom Pune (BS3). This makes it around 40-60,000 less than the Safari base 2.0Diesel...
Have been driving it for the past one week and have clogged around 700kms in and around Pune. I really pushed it hard thru water-logged roads, pot-holes, mini-craters, hills and what not but she responded very well, with only the front wheel caps flying out (during some off-road adventure)
Loved the decent MP3 player (has got a remote, so the location doesnt bother me), the ample torque available from as low as 1500rpm. She runs on 215/75 R15 Goodyear tyres, decent enough for dry/wet roads but not good off the road.
A very capable machine for those who hate bad roads, slowing down for potholes and want something mean at a low price. Whats more, the jeep is very fuel-efficient too (delivering around 10kmpl with a/c under hard use!)
