| ![]() This will be the most beautiful hatchback in India, it means to look something more than ugly. The only changes made to Verito on the rear side is replacing the extended bonnet with a small boot, adding Christmas tree tail lamps and is the boot door same from the Verito, looks like it. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I kind of like this look. It resembles the old Ford Focus hatchback shown below. I would pick this design over any of the compact sedan's like the Dzire and indigo CS. Thank god Mahindra did not go with compact sedan design with a smaller boot. It would have looked outright hideous. ![]() |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Since the hatch will be launched on June 06, the cars have started reaching the dealerships. Here is link to ICB report on the same: http://www.indiancarsbikes.in/cars/m...erships-70941/ |

Having said that, the Verito Vibe hopes to be a spacious car and I only hope that the unusual boot lid makes it easy to load/offload luggage. I too find the looks of the Vibe quite acceptable and any car that passes my S-P-E-R-M ( ![]() Space: The Verito has been recognised for its cabin space. Price: The price is crucial to the success or failure of the Verito. Engine: The Renault engine has been endorsed by cab drivers. Reliability: Again, the Veritos reliability with cab drivers could work with Verito as well. Mileage: I have heard that the diesel Verito is a frugal engine. Vibe will gain here as well. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() A sneak peek at the much talked about rear end of the Vibe! I felt it looks OK and should do well for buyers who prefer the understated looks! |

| ![]() The way the rear hatch cover/lid opens is outright ugly. Any piece of luggage wider than the entry hole will cause problems even if there is lot of space inside. I will also expect alignment problems since there is no real hinge and the path is defined with the 'S' shaped braces (?). Commercial usage - no way! I am also surprised now rear wash/wiper provided. It would have made the rear look better. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() The way that hatch opens is ridiculous. I have not seen a design as stupid as this one. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Till now I was thinking this is a notch back with the glass opening up as well. This is outright idiotic to have a small rectangular hole as the boot. What were Mahindra thinking? I change my mind about this car looking at the way the boot opens. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Yes, indeed it is going to be a pain to load large pieces of luggage without damaging our head or the bumper! |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Obnoxious design of the boot opening ![]() Does the Vibe come with split rear seats? If so then the luggage loading is going to be cumbersome once boot is opened. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Bit of tight squeeze to load luggage. For that matter even in the much vaunted Maruti Swift it is a pain to load luggage on account of that horrible lip near the bumper. When will these manufacturers learn that one needs a flat surface extending straight from the bumper inwards to make it a comfortable experience to load luggage? Same goes for the folding seats. They should always be 60:40 to afford maximum flexibility. The seats should fold absolutely flat as well like they do in the Honda Jazz and several other vehicles. Else the Verito is an excellent car for daily use. I travelled in one last night from the airport in Hyderabad and it was absolutely brand new. Very comfortable and pretty silent engine too. Nice and powerful, peppy and overall a solid, economical, sensible buy. I am sure this VFM Verito Hatchback will do very well in our price sensitive market. Any idea if there are options with ABS, Airbags and other safety stuff? |
