The stunning looking Verito Vibe tends to create a different taste among the Indian consumers.. The SPORTY COMPACT SEDAN is what the critics calling the new Verito, let us see how well it stands up to its name????... Well the first look on the car is not much exciting nor appealing to the eyes.. Well first the oddly chopped boot of the Quanto and now the pushed in boot of the Verito Vibe shows the weak design aspects of the M&M tag... It does look a little bit more aggressive and does have that small Rally looking car but lags the smooth flow of the body lines... The front-end of the car is a complete different story... The redesigned grill with the integrated M&M logo does looks quiet aggresive and gives the car a Sporty stances ... On the other hand the back-end of the car does looks like a space-ship... Well here we can see the Out-Of-The-Box thinking of the Mahindra's Designers.. The pop up long tail light fussed with the back window and the spilt body boot does tend to mess up with the overall look of the car..The large wheal arch's from the Verito/Logan remains the same in the Verito , the side door panels also carry the same design..The bonnet is however redesigned to allow more aerodynamics to the cars design..The front bumper also does looks big and bold with the flussed in flog lamps and a grill in the middle does kind of looks good....

The new Verito Vibe is launched as a Diesel Motor only.. The Verito Vibe is going to use the same engine as its predecessor Renault's 1.5-Litre K9K unit churning out 65bhp and 160 Nm of torque. The front wheel drive setup will continue and hopefully the great ride and acceptable handling is also remained unchanged.For 65Bhp engine the Vibe performance is good... it really performs great at lower rev range, It is a very drivable engine and really idle for city commuting .... The throtle response is quiet well but it doesnt have a very good top end speed... You can comfortable cruize around 125 kmph but the punch is absent... Its car really for comfort driving but not sporty... The roboustly built car would encourage you to shift early but the engine dies out at the top end ... The diesel engine is well refined and the cabin is reallyn well insulated from all around noise... The stearing is really very nice and feels very stiff and responsive... the low gear ratio of the 5 speed manual gear box and sporty suspension is the only key to the cars SPORTY feature....
The Interiors and Comfort:-
Well just like the logan or the Verito the interiors of the Vibe is pretty much the same... Same rugged and strong and plain looking interiors to the Vibe... The dashboard doesnot look any exciting or have the richness to it... It does feel heavily built and strong but have that sense of luxury missing in it... The seats look big and outdated but feels quiet comfortable.. The central console to the dashboard sits quiet bellow and does seems hard to reach for the controls...The dials does look poppy and have that orange LED glow in it but still alot more changes would have been acceptable... There is alot of space in the cabin but again the details are missing... The second row can easily have three person (adults) siting quiet comfortably but there is not hand rest in the back seat... The side window pannels does have the power window buttons put into it and looks good... Overall the interiors are quiet dull and improvements could have been made..
Well the Vertio Vibe has quiet a big boot , almost of 330 Litres but the major fault is that it have a really small opening to it... So loading things in and taking things out is going to be a problem... It is really amazing how the boot was really pushed inside the cars design .....
The Verdict:-
The Verdict:-
Styling is not its greatest strength, but certainly has a good driving dynamics and a comfortable ride. Secondly it has a great milleage and alots of cabin space but it is a bit too costly and more gadgets and safety features could have been added....
Overall it can score only 3 out of 5 stars.......
