Mahindra Verito Vibe - Lacks Style Statement

Mahindra's Verito Vibe in my opinion is the most under-rated hatchback, many people don't even know about the model. As many other Mahindra cars do get the required publicity but Verito vibe remained side-lined. I bought this car last year and till date I don't have any complaints regarding the vehicle. The car is best in all aspects be it mileage, interiors, exteriors, space, class or the boot space. It offers almost everything in each category to admire. My decision to buy the Verito Vibe was just the spontaneous one. I was there at the Mahindra Showroom with my friend to complete the paper works, there I spotted the amazing Verito Vibe. I asked the dealer for the test drive, I was really impressed by the car's performance and instantly took the decision to buy the car. As it's a hatchback but it gives the comfort like a sedan. I booked the car and now it's almost 1 year driving the Mahindra Verito Vibe and I appreciate the quick decision I have taken. On the outside, Mahindra Verito Vibe gets matte black grille, blackened out headlamps and powerful fog lamps to enhance the looks. At the back, Verito Vibe gets design which is quite different from boxy design language. Overall, I bought this car in 2014 and looking at what hatchbacks such as Baleno and i20 are upto in terms of looks, I don't think it would be honest to say that this car is better in styling. However, in terms of interiors, Mahindra Verito Vibe features adequate cabin space which is the USP of this car. As in other hatchbacks, rear legroom space is quite cramped but that's not the case with Verito Vibe. The hatchback offers an ample amount of leg room for the back seaters as well. Quality of the inner material is excellent while the features are also good. Mahindra Verito Vibe is only available in diesel engine in India, it is powered by the 1.5L dCi unit that can churn the power output of 64bhp and belts out maximum torque of 160Nm. The car gives ARAI certified fuel economy of 20.8kmpl, which is quite amazing. So, in my views Mahindra Verito Vibe is a good car and worth buying. But honestly, looking at what contemporary vehicles are offering, one should look at other options in the Rs. 6-8 lakh price bracket.
