We have known for the past few weeks about Mahindra's plan to launch a hatchback version of the Verito sedan, thanks to several spyshots of the said car that were captured during road testing. That car now has an official name, along with a launch time frame.

Mahindra has officially announced the new sub 4 meter hatchback will be called Verito Vibe and will be launched in May. The exact launch date has not been released though. Furthermore, Verito Vibe will get the 1.5 liter dCi diesel engine, another specification that will exclude it from attracting the extra auto tax.
