There have been so many cars that have been launched in India and if you are looking to buy one, then it might be quite confusing to pick the right one.
Just over a year after breaking up its joint venture with Renault, Mahindra & Mahindra on Monday said it has renamed the 'Logan' sedan as 'Verito', thus completely dropping the French automaker's badge from the entry level sedan.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, the country's largest utility vehicle maker, will roll out a sub-four metre compact model of Verito, the rechristened Mahindra Logan, which is expected to attract only 10 per cent excise duty instead of the earlier 22 per cent. Also, it will have a lower price tag.

The new diesel engine powered Nissan Micra will get the same motor that powers Mahindra Logan. The 1.5-litre DCI motor is capable of generating top power of 63bhp and 16.3kgm of max torque. The trims for the diesel version of the Micra will be XV and XV Premium.
The two petrol models of the Logan are priced between Rs 428,000 and Rs 644,000, while its diesel model's price range is Rs 547,000 to Rs 651,000. The range overlaps the pricing of the premium hatchbacks as well as of mid-size cars.
Despite the car having a very low localisation level of around 50 per cent, as the engine and transmission is imported into the country, M&M says the reduction has been a result of rationalisation efforts undertaken by the company at its plant in Nashik.
The car will compete with Maruti Swift and Honda Amaze.

Renault, which has a joint venture with M&M that sells entry level sedan Logan, has been a subject of speculation over its relationship with the Indian partner and declining sales of the car had put a question mark over the future of the JV -- Mahindra Renault Pvt Ltd, in which the French firm has 49 per cent stake.
