Logan facelift - Mahindra Varito


Mahinda launched the new sadan Varito recently. Varito is nothing but a facelift & rename to Logan. Varito is a outcome of the end of the Mahindra-Renault joint venture a year ago.



Mahindra has done some changes in the design such as new grill, roof railings, mini spoiler & of course the logo. However, the new Mahindra Verito will retain the 1.5 Litre DCi Renault turbo Diesel engine besides the petrol variant. The engine and other specifications would be the same as these were in the Mahindra Logan.  Mahindra Verito had been launched initially in three engine options – 1.4 L, 1.5 L & 1.6 L. Both 1.4 & 1.6 L engines come as Petrol type whereas the 1.5 L engine is a diesel type. But 1.6 petrol engine is not in production yet.

The Mahindra Verito 1.5 liter, 4 cylinder, 1500cc diesel engine gives out maximum power of 65 hp at 4000 rpm and returns maximum torque of 160 Nm at 2000 rpm through a five speed manual transmission. Where as 1.4 liter is very fuel efficient and delivers hassle-free performance with a Maximum Power of 75 hp at 5500 rpm and a Maximum Torque of 110 Nm at 3000 rpm.

Price for this joyfull ride starts from 4.85lacks to 6.62lacks (Ex-Showroom Delhi).
