I have been reading that its torque is good but power is low. But dont understand its implications.

It depends what you need to do on the vehicle. Im not shore if the bolero has a permanent 4x4. If you talk about the himalayas you will be able to manage it with 2WD though a 4WD is an advantage as you can go faster and you will have more grip and drivability. Both going up and specially comming down slopes. Just make shore that you have a permanent 4x4 like the Gypsy or CJ40 jeeps and not a part time 4x4 like that of the Safari.
Have a look at the link for more on 4x4.
