Mahindra CJ340 — frequently asked questions

What is the Mahindra CJ340?

The Mahindra CJ340 is a short-wheelbase diesel 4x4 Jeep built in India from 1987 to 1994. It uses a Peugeot 2,112 cc XDP 4.90 diesel engine, 4-speed KMT90 gearbox, and T18 two-lever transfer case. It was exported as the Bushranger in Australia and Bahia in Europe.

Is it written CJ340 or CJ 340?

Both spellings refer to the same vehicle. Mahindra's own literature runs it together as CJ340, but owners, classified ads and registration paperwork very often write Mahindra CJ 340 with a space, and CJ-340 with a hyphen turns up as well. The Australian export was badged Mahindra Bushranger and the European one Bahia. When hunting parts or classifieds, search every variant — listings split across spellings, and the spaced form is the one most often missed.

What is the difference between Bushranger and Bahia?

Bushranger and Bahia are export names for the same Mahindra CJ340 chassis. Bushranger was sold in Australia; Bahia was sold in the UK and continental Europe. Specifications are identical — Peugeot diesel, CJ-3B body, part-time 4WD.

Where can I buy CJ340 spare parts?

OEM and reconditioned CJ340 parts ship worldwide from Nonu Ventures at nonuventures.com/cj340. Many Willys CJ-3B components interchange. Australian owners also source from Indian suppliers and local 4x4 specialists.

Can I import a Mahindra CJ340 to Australia or the UK?

Yes. Vehicles 25+ years old may qualify for classic vehicle import schemes in Australia and the UK. See our Australia guide at cj340.com/australia.html and Europe guide at cj340.com/europe.html for import links and owner resources.
