Mahindra and Mahindra has launched the 2012 Mahindra Verito New Model in New Delhi India on 26th July 2012. After long wait, several spy pictures and speculations later, the new refreshed and facelifted Mahindra Verito is finally here. The new model of the Verito launched in New Delhi is not a compact sedan under 4 meters in length, rather it is a regular sedan with length of 4.28 meters which is almost the same as the previous model of the Verito which measured 4.25 m in length. Rest of the external dimensions remain the same in the new Verito and this minor length variation is also because of new front and rear bumper design which increased the length of the car nominally. The new Verito also features large 510 litre boot space and rides on the same 14 inch tubeless tyres. All in all, 23 new features have been added to the interiors and exteriors of the 2012 Mahindra Verito.
But in terms of a facelift, the new model looks quite refreshed both from the exteriors and interiors with a new front fascia which includes redesigned headlamps, new bumper, attractive new grille design, new fog lamps, roof rails, change in rear boot lid, tail lamp cluster design, new design alloy wheels etc. There is also fair amount of chrome treatment on the interiors as well as exteriors to make Verito look more premium in its segment. The USP of Verito still remains affordable price, refined engine and lots of interior and luggage space which makes Verito a high value proposition in its segment against popular cars like Maruti Swift Dzire, Toyota Etios and Ford Classic.
