The brand is toying with the idea of introducing the small car once the sub four-meter Verito is launched.
After launching the much awaited refreshed version of the Verito, Mahindra has said that if the need arises, the company could build a small car based on the Logan/Verito platform that it acquired under former partnership with Renault.
Mahindra & Mahindra’s CEO, Mr. Pravin Shah himself said that there are many possibilities of developing new products based on the Logan platform and a compact car is likely to be one of them. Company’s other executives said that the customers will decide on the possibility of having two versions of the same model with different price tags.
Commenting on the future prospects of stepping into the small car segment, Mr. Shah said, "If we feel that post this and the next product (sub four-meter Verito), customers want another product, we will go for it. M&M has the capability and competencies to develop the product."

However, we can safely say that there is still some way to go before this new small car sees the light of day as Mahindra is currently busy developing a sub four-meter version of the Verito sedan. The shortened version will benefit from lower excise duties which will make it noticeably cheaper.
