Mahindra Verito Hatchback

ll focus on capturing the market share in the hatchback segment with this model. Till now M&M has not introduced any model in this segment and, thus, the launch of Verito hatch will help it expand its roots in other segments.

Mahindra Verito Hatchback will be built over the same platform of Verito sedan and, hence, its design language will be similar to that of the sedan. This platform sharing is an effort towards bringing down its production cost by presenting a familiar vehicle in a new avatar. Development of the Verito Hatchback is currently in progress and the final version of the model is expected to be less than 4 metre in length.

Engine & Specifications of Mahindra Verito Hatchback :

Mahindra Verito Hatchback is expected to be powered by robust engines that will set benchmarks in its segment. Its diesel version will hold a 1.5 litre dCi engine which will have displacement of 1461 cc and will generate maximum power of 65 bhp at 4000 rpm at 140 Nm of peak torque. Though there are rumours of a petrol Verito hatchback, it seems quite unlikely that the company will use the 1.4 litre motor that is used in the sedan. If it does so, it will lose out on the tax benefits provided by the government to cars that measure less than 4 metre and have a 1.2 litre engine. Moreover, there has been no news that the company is developing or procuring an engine of this capacity in the country.

Performance of Mahindra Verito Hatchback :

Mahindra Verito Hatchback will set the bar higher for world class handling, brilliant fuel economy and competitive pricing. The diesel engine to be incorporated in the new Verito is performance oriented and, therefore, will deliver decent acceleration with tremendous speed. If the company maintains the configuration of the unit, it will be able to reach top speed of 144 kmph and accelerate from naught to 100 kmph in a matter of 18.4 seconds, just like the sedan version.

Exterior, Interior & Safety Features of Mahindra Verito Hatchback :

Mahindra Verito Hatchback is considered as a new avatar of the current Verito. The platform on which Verito is produced has been in operation for around five years, thus the auto maker decided to introduce a revamped version of Verito. The yet-to-be-launched hatchback will boast of moderate changes in exteriors as well as a few technological advancements. It is said that the car maker will simply slice off the boot of current Verito and offer it as a hatchback.

Mahindra Verito Hatchback is expected to have the similar interiors as well as exteriors to that the existing Verito, but there has been no confirmation in this regard from the company’s side. It is anticipated that the model will be equipped with advanced safety features like Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), driver-side airbags, remote door locking, central locking and rear defogger. These will help it keep the passengers safe and help the vehicle survive collisions easily.
