Hyundai Verna Review

Hyundai Verna is simple, plain looking car with unremarkable performance. It’s a nice family car where an Indian family of five (Hum do aur hamare do with a friend) can comfortably fit in car, it has enough leg room at the rear. Verna is having a broad C-pillar and very short boot lid that make this car more hatch-like. The audio system is very decent but plastic cabin isn’t up to the mark. Interior is very spacious and it has some great features like automatic climate control and electric door mirrors and these units are very easy to use and you don’t need to put much effort to set it all the time. It has enough boot space to keep your long drive stuffs (352 litres). Verna is having a stylish, smooth gear knob with leather cover and cross stitching at the side.

The Verna comes with 1.5 diesel engines (powerful diesel engine) and 1.6 petrol engines. The diesel one has a variable geometry turbo and petrol a variable valve timing system. Common rail diesel injection keeps the engines very smoother and ensures a great performance. Its four cylinder motor generates 108.5 bhp with 24 kgm of torque, its enough to take Verna at it top speed of 175 kph. This machine takes only 14.1 seconds for 0-100 kph. The suspension is very well designed for Indian roads. Handling is very smooth and decent in almost all conditions. For city ride you will love to have auto transmission, and Verna is only car in its segment to have auto transmission.

Verna price tag starts from close to 8lakh and goes up to 10 lakh (ex-showroom Bangalore) price. Nothing beats the Verna and its absolute value of your money. At the end I can say that Verna is a pretty powerful, robust, comfortable, simple and easy to drive car.
