VERNA FLUIDIC - THE NEW BEAST

 

Exterior Best in class exterior design. The new VERNA is a pleasure to watch on the roads. Good cars were awaited since ages now. And finally the new VERNA arrived. Hyundai has worked really hard to give this car a modern funky look. And there efforts are really appreciated.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Hyundai People have given a 'FLUIDIC' touch to the new interiors of the car as the 'FLUIDIC' trademark points out. The interiors of the previous model were very old fashioned and outdated. But the new VERNA doesn't gives any cons to point out. The interiors are perfect in accordance with the exterior design of the car. You get a standard music player as a feature. The blue console lighting which is standard on most of the hyundai cars make you feel fresh and active. Overall the interiors make a sturdy and ofcourse, a 'FLUIDIC' appeal.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best in class engines. Hyundai engines have been torqy, powerfull and problem free since ages. The new VERNA has got the all new 1.6 litre CRDi engine. 128 PS/260Nm. The best in class diesel technology. The beast is mounted to a 6 speed manual gearbox due to which you get maximum power on the initial gears and unmatched fuel economy on the higher gears. The basic version also comes with a 1.4 CRDi 90PS engine which is offered in the diesel i20. But the 1.6 CRDi version is a real fun to drive. You feel a 'TAKEOFF' when you press the accelerator pedal. It gives a decent 16 to 17 km to a litre in a normal city driving. But as far as the performance is concerned the fuel economy can be ignored a little bit. The 1.4 litre version is a little more fuel efficient than the 1.6 one. But the 1.6 is a pleasure to drive.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is genuinely good. You don't feel any kind of lags. Handling is better. The steering responds quickly. The new VERNA feels comfortable to drive and the 1.6 us a quick and active package. The suspensions are a bit on the softer side. Hyundai has improved overall performance of this model.

Final Words The best diesel sedan in its class. The all new FLUIDIC VERNA is being liked by almost every car lover in the country. Its a complete 'fun on the road' package.
