    Mahindra Verito... to go with it or not?

    Honest confession… I wasn’t going to test drive this car but because of the price range I thought about it. Though after the test drive I am 100% convinced about it. My experience with the car was as follows: Look and Style Mahindra Verito isn’t one of the most stylish vehicles in town when you look at it. The car looks a little better than the Logan. Though from the rear side, it still has the same old box shape. The interior space although is commendable. The good part is, as soon as you look at the car, you can make out that it is very well built and is very sturdy. The upholstery was also good, in fact gave the car a very pleasant feel.  Comfort As far as the interiors are concerned, as mentioned already, the car is very spacious with immense headroom and legroom. It is a good car to seat 5 comfortably. The rear seats are as spacious as the front, which is the best feature of this sedan. The boot space along with the seating is also very very decent. The car has all the basic comfort features like the power steering, powerful AC, power windows etc. make the drive very comfortable and pleasant. The problem though was that the indicators are still on the left hand, but guess once you drive this car on a regular basis, this is something that can be dealt with.  Pickup The handling of the car was surprisingly good with the quick pickup and easy acceleration. The seating position could be manually adjusted to and fro as well as the height. This is surely a feature that adds to the comfortable handling.  Mileage The company and reviews claim a mileage of 15-17 for the diesel model. After the test drive it seemed believable because of the comfort of the drive, easy gear shifts and ease of handling.  Best Features Without the doubt the best feature of the car was the space. Moreover, I would give the handling and smoothness of gear shifts a 6/10. (Don’t know how true it is, but I have heard that this gear shift smoothness doesn’t last for long.) Needs to improve For me, along with the looks, Mahindra might want to work on probably the brand image of the sedan or its positioning, whatever you want to call it. (Though the Verito man definition- strong, sturdy, rugged, well built… that’s actually true… ) Overall Experience Overall the test drive was decent. I might actually consider buying the car after a little research on the internet and probably a conversation with my mechanic. There isn’t anything wrong with the car or it isn’t that the car is lacking but somehow the feel of the car isn’t something that made me go “WOW” but then again, maybe I am a difficult shopper.

      Spacious car.
      Best car for bigger legroom and boot space which offer a great fuel economy of 20kmpl. Noise in engine after few years of use.

      Awesome car performance
      Mahindra Verito looks awesome, from both interior and exterior. its electric variant is low power as compared with other variants. But it is very cheaper as compared with even two-wheelers.it is more comfortable to ride because of automatic gears more safety with airbags and economically this car is the best car. But better to improve its power. Exterior, Decent looks for the car, looks good from Side and back I have a walnut brown color car with body graphics and alloy wheels, they suit the car very much, just love the car...I find the looks are good Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Just wow....when I talk about driving comfort, space in offer...we get very good leg space for both front and back seat passengers, seats are designed very well to give you a very very comfortable ride for long drives, So far I have driven around 350KM after purchase and longest I drove was 60 KM and throughout this I did not feel tired, or uncomfortable while driving & my height is 6ft 1 Inches. The back seat passengers also get good comfortable seating & headrest. I can easily say that this is one of the very few cars which has comfortable seating space for 3 adults in the back seat. Suspensions are best in the class, you just don't feel the bad roads, shocks get absorbed very well. If I don't tell about AC then I might not be writing the review properly, for AC I have just one word, mindblowing..... I have not seen the immediate cooling effect in my old swift, or any other MS cars...This one is amazing, hats off to the performance of the AC. Feeling hot switch the AC on and it obliges you by cooling the cabin within a fraction of second Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Well....1.5DCI Renault engine is amazingly tuned for both city and long drives.....There is minimal turbo lag in 1st gear...guess that very common in diesel cars...But if all the gears are changed within the span 1000-2000RPM this machine is very smooth to drive. Otherwise also this Renault engine is very powerful.....I like the vehicles pulling capacity in 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th gear a lot... I just enjoy the drive-in these gears, Since this vehicle as good pull in all the gears, frequent gear shifting is not required. Till now I recollect of maximum gear change till 2nd gear when speed breaker comes or bad road comes. I put 1st gear only when I start from the stationary position. I never got a feeling that I am driving 66BHP engine....reason being the engines amazing pulling capacity with or without AC Gear change ratio is good, since you don't need to shift gear downwards frequently I am sure the person driving will love to drive this car Fuel Economy not measured completely, but what I can see from odometer is 15-16 on an average for city driving with AC, but I have to check the mileage accurately using the full tank to full tank theory. I am sure will get the accurate reading at that time. I am expecting it to be around 19-20 in the city with the new measuring technique Ride Quality & Handling After writing all this review guess it is understood that this section also will be amazing in the car, and yes that's correct, ride quality and handling is one of the best in class Final Words I would just recommend this car to my friends & family members, I have made the best choice by purchasing this car area of improvement Only in terms of features.... Well...very less as this variant comes with most of the features, but 2nd airbag, tilt steering, audio and Bluetooth control on steering wheel, etc......but these all are just luxuries features all bare basic safety features such as ABS, Driver Airbag are there in the vehicle.
