ABOUT:
In India, the Logan was marketed as the Mahindra Renault Logan. In 2005, Renault partnered the Indian utility and commercial vehicles manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (M&M). Launched in 2007, Logan could not make the mark in the Indian market, selling just over 44,000 vehicles since then, and over 2,600 vehicles in Nepal and South Africa (M&M also held the licence to sell the Logan in India, Nepal and South Africa). In April 2010, it was announced that the M&M had bought out Renault's 49% in the Mahindra Renault joint venture. The new agreement gave M&M more flexibility in engineering the car to suit the needs of the Indian consumer. The Logan was marketed with the Mahindra-Renault logo until the end of March 2011. Following the dissolution of the Indian joint venture between Renault India and M&M in 2010, Mahindra retained the rights to produce and sell the Logan under its own name of Mahindra Verito with minor alterations to the front but retaining Renault petrol and diesel engines. A face lifted version of the car was revealed by Mahindra on 26 July 2012.Mahindra Verito CS will be the next big model from the companies stable and is expected to be launched in 2013 which will also see more compact sedans joining the race. Honda will launch the sedan based on the Brio platform, Amaze and we can also expect the Manza compact sedan to make it to India.The Mahindra Verito notch back, will measure just under 4-meters in length, without sacrificing any interior space. The loss of space will only be from the boot. The present 510 liter boot will get axed to accommodate only about 300 liters or so of luggage, which is less than what the Maruti Dzire and Tata Indigo eCS can manage. The car will retain the Mahindra Verito branding, with a sub-brand moniker attached to it. However, the lower excise duty will allow Mahindra to price the car very aggressively.
The Verito CS will be based on the same Logan platform and will get the similar power trains. We can expect some surprises from Mahindra, who may plonk in the 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder, mCR100 diesel engine with Micro Hybrid technology which does duty on Quanto compact SUV. The power output could be reduced to 75-80 and may use a single turbo as opposed to a Twin turbo.The car will come only with a diesel engine, because Mahindra does not have a 1.2 liter petrol engine in its portfolio – something it needs if it wants to meet the small car excise norms. However, the 1.5 liter diesel engine qualifies for small car excise benefits, and will make the Mahindra Verito notch back a good value-for-money entry sedan. Mahindra said it wasn't going to consider a petrol at this point, as the pricing wouldn't make sense.
