Overview

Chevrolet has recently forayed into the entry-level saloon segment with the launch of the new saloon version of the Sail hatch. Meanwhile, Mahindra has not been resting easy on laurels and launched a facelifted version of its well-received Verito. The fortunes of the new Chevy will depend on how it fares against the Verito. So which one gives you the best bang for your buck? Read on to find out.

Chevrolet Sail vs Mahindra Verito

Design and styling

The Sail saloon, with the front styling, looks near identical to the hatch version. However, it does have the proper saloon silhouette unlike the Maruti Dzire. The arced roof merges well with the neatly integrated boot. The large triangular tail-lamps give it a distinct identity. The Verito however, despite having received a facelift, still looks boxy. The new front and rear bumpers, multi-element headlamps, chrome grille and the redesigned tail-lights do give it a more upmarket appearance than before.
