Design and Aesthetics
The latest Hyundai Verna has a sporty and futuristic look that stands out. Upfront, it gets a large parametric grille with chrome inserts, giving it a premium appeal. The sharp headlamps and LED DRLs also lend a distinctive front profile. The coupe-like sloping roofline and sharp body lines in profile project a dynamic character. At the rear, the connected LED taillights look very modern. The Verna has a youthful vibe while looking polished and upmarket. The sharp design reflects its sporty nature.
Engine Specifications
The Verna gives you two petrol engine variants to pick from. The first is a turbocharged 1.5-litre motor punching a robust 157 horsepower and 253 Nm torque. This peppy four-cylinder delivers an energetic drive experience.
The second option is a normally aspirated 1.5-litre unit pushing 113 horsepower and 144 Nm torque. Though not as powerful as the turbo, this motor provides adequate real-world performance for most drivers. Both engines balance power and efficiency with Hyundai's popular engine technology. Test drives can help determine which variant best fits your priorities.
Interior and Features
Hyundai has aimed for a premium and modern cabin. The interior looks quite upmarket, while the dashboard has a neat layout. The buttons and knobs are ergonomically placed for easy access.
There is a cooled glovebox, sunvisor with mirror, rear AC vents, and charging sockets for convenience. The front seats are comfortable and offer good support. Plus, you can adjust the driver's seat six ways to fine-tune your position.
As for gadgets, the Verna comes loaded with equipment. You get an extensive touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Other highlights include climate control, wireless phone charging, an electric sunroof, ambient lighting, push-button start/stop, cruise control, and a sound system with ARKAMYS tuning.
On the safety front, Verna offers 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and camera, electronic stability control, and vehicle stability management. Depending on the variant, you also get front parking sensors and blind view monitoring. All in all, the Verna checks the right boxes when it comes to features and equipment.
Mileage
The automatic petrol version leads the way, providing an estimated 20.6 kilometres on a single litre of petrol. That's impressive efficiency for this class of car. Even the standard manual transmission petrol Verna model gets excellent mileage, averaging about 20 kilometres to the litre in real-world city/highway driving.
Only some competitors match this fuel efficiency level across engine and gearbox configurations. The Verna strikes an appealing balance between performance and daily running costs.
Cabin and Features
Inside, the Verna delivers a very modern and appealing interior. Comfort is handled through plush seats, rear AC vents, and clever storage spaces. You get a large touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system on higher trims for technology and connected features. Other highlights include wireless charging, push-button start/stop, ambient lighting, an electric sunroof, and automatic climate control.
Performance
When it comes to punch, the Verna brings a couple of engine options. There's a turbo-petrol with over 150 horses chomping at the bit to deliver an energetic drive when you flex your right foot. The other petrol is no slouch, putting out a healthy 113 ponies for decent real-world pull.
Both motors choose between smooth-shifting manuals and automatics to match your driving style. Work the stick shift, and you'll enjoy Verna's perky responses. Or let the auto do the gear work so you can just sit back and steer. Either way, the Verna has the performance to keep the driving experience fun, especially around town, where its compact size helps it zip through traffic. Highway passes are handled without complaint, too, thanks to the engines' respectable torque.
