Senior - BHPian | ![]() While I wait for the new gen Gurkha I had set the ball rolling for trying to wangle out a 550 from M&M. There appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel and my dilemma is do I opt for the current version (DI engine?) or wait for the next gen 550 with a CRDi (maybe?) engine after March. What say guys? Would appreciate your views Last edited by DKG : 12th February 2009 at 22:34. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Since we have the Bolero with the CRDi, I expect to see it in other Jeeps too. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() All I gather is there is some engine change on the military 550 after March. Assuming the current unit is the XD3P IDI unit would the next engine not be the CRDi unit? The current 550 don't seem to be that noisy so would it be accurate to state its the IDI unit instead of the DI? Last edited by DKG : 12th February 2009 at 23:58. |

| ![]() What are you guys referring to when you say 'CRDI'? The Thar-like turbo XDP3 or the new CRDE that is in the up market Bolero? Last edited by DirtyDan : 13th February 2009 at 05:05. |

I dont think M&M is thinking of launching a 550 with CRDe engine any time soon in india. M&M official has told to autocar in the recent issue that they are planning to launch thar in europe and south africa this year. No plans for india yet! If you are looking to buy a new MWB 4x4 with doors your only option today is Invader or the Gypsy other than the present Gurkha 4wd. You may have to wait for MM550 CRdi until then! | |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() The discussion with people helping me get a 550 entailed either release of a vehicle in its present config or apparently a new engine after March. I obviously have no clue what engine the current vehicle comes with and what it might get. As a layman I figured the current engine is a DI unit. Elsewhere on the forum someone mentioned an XD3P IDI unit as the current engine. I was confused so felt I'd ask some of our more knowledgeable friends here. |
