Mahindra Verito

The Verito is a mid-size sedan by the Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra. The Verito sedan is launched as a replacement to the Logan, another sedan by the carmaker.

EXTERIOR
The Verito looks like the Logan, but with subtle changes to the front and end. It still features the same boxy design. The front fascia features a multi-element headlamps and a Skoda-like chrome grille. The redesigned bumper now sports a larger air dam and an aggressive look. The side profile looks simple with subtle creases. And the rear is completely new with the redesigned tail lamps and bumper.

INTERIOR
The inside of the Verito has a rich feel with the updated two-tone dash and ergonomically designed controls. The switches are now on the door pads, instead of the central console. The Verito gets a 2-DIN audio console from the Xylo, and comes along with features like Aux-in and USB ports, along with new and modern looking A/C vents. There is ample of leg/shoulder/head room in both the rows, but the Verito does not feature seat height or steering adjustment.
