Mahindra Verito, Verito Vibe, Xylo and NuvoSport are the cars that have been discontinued. These four cars were one of the earliest ones in their segment. Among them, Xylo was still a decent performing car which was priced in close competition with the Maruti Ertiga. However, Verito, Verito Vibe and NuvoSport never made it big.
Mahindra Verito was nearly 4.2 metres long and a lot cheaper than its current rivals. Priced under Rs 9 Lakhs for the top-end variant it did a short stint in the commercial car market. On the other hand, Verito Vibe was one the earliest sub-4-metre sedans in India. Both came with the same 1.5 Litre diesel engine that was good for 65 PS and 160 Nm of torque.
NuvoSport was one of the first sub-4-metre compact SUVs that we had in India. Packed with many premium features, a 1.5 Litre diesel engine and the option of an AMT gearbox made it a good package. However, its design did not go well with the buyers and rather looked a bit ugly. It never failed to get decent sales numbers in its stint of just 4 years.
