Hyundai Verna [2011-2015] User Reviews

Exterior NA

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seating is also not comfortable neither front seats are comfortable nor back seats are comfortable for long drive. Centre of Back seats is creating a problem as it up from sides. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox NA 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very bad. Whenever there is a hump on road there is a danger that it will hit it from front side and also from lower side. moreover on path holes sound thak is coming from car when car crosses any path hole on the speed of 50-60 km.

Final Words NA

Areas of improvement this is the area of improvment where hyundai have to work hard. i still love this car. i purchased automatic verna in 2010 and then changed it with fludic in july 2011. hyundai cars are good value for money cars and moreover they are doing changes time to time when they have complaints regarding their vehicles. 

Gadgets, preformanceBad suspension, low on front and

Exterior Perhaps the most good looking car in this segment. Very sporty and eye catching looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well placed and equipped instrumentation panel, very useful and intuitive user controls on the panel and the steering. Minimal cabin noise even at high speeds of 140+KMPH.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Impressive Pick up and engine responsiveness. A treat to drive on Highways. City driving is giving me around 14.5 kmpl and around 18.5 to 21 KMPL on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very good. Very easy to maneuver it in tight traffic conditions.

Final Words Its Just a brilliant pacakge.

I took the delivery of my Verna 1.6 CRDi Sx in May 2011. After researching and evaluating all the available options in this segment Vento, City, SX4, Linea, Fiesta etc etc....i decided and zeroed on the fluidic verna even before it was lanched and booked myself one on the launch date. I got the delivery within 10 days of my booking.  The driving experience has been awesome till so far.....i had been itching to take it on the highways ever since i bought it. Recently completed a to and from trip from Hyderabad to B'lore.

The car is just too good on the highways, excellent pick up and stability. I was consistently driving between 120-140 and at stretches allowed it to extend to 160-170. While this did have an impact on the mileage, but the thrill of speed was good enough reason to compromise on the mileage. I got around 18.5 kmpl at these speeds. Covering 550+ KMS in 6 hrs with 2 breaks of 20 mins each is very good i would say. The highway had a decent role to play...hats off to NHAI for doing a fantastic job at this one. With speeds ranging between 100-120, it surely will notch up on the mileage. It was great to whiz past every vehicle that i came across on the trip but for an exception of an AUDI A4.

It was very comfortable, as i hardly felt any fatigue driving all the 550+ kms. The AC is very effective. though the temperatures were not too high, but it surely kept my beer cans in the glove box chilled all the way through :-)

By far the best car in this segment and complete value for money considering the offerings.

Final Words NEVER GO FOR HYUNDIA THE QUALITY THEY AR USING IS VERY VERY CHIP AND THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY AR NOT INTRESTING TO HEAR WHY IT HAPPEN IN BRAND NEW CAR THEY AR JUST WANT TO SELL NEW CAR AND NEW TARGET  ACHEIVING.

Areas of improvement Quality and customer care quick responce with 100% satisfied.

Replace car........POOR QUALITY, BAD RESPONCE,

Exterior Personal choice. I like the rear the most. I am not a fan of good looking cars & can fully ignore the looks if car is otherwise good. After all once inside the car you do not have to look at it rather concentrate on the road & traffic.😎 I like cleaner lines of Vento more than too futuristic looking Verna. But for most purposes, the car will not disappoint in looks deptt.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Many times we think, the features are useless till the time we actually use it. I now can not live without features like rear view camera, rear sensors, blue tooth, electrically folding side mirrors in particular. Other cool features are ACC, stereo control over steering, rear & front defogger, cool glove box etc. The driver arm rest seems to me as a useless feature as I am not able to use it on long drives. The positioning is such that my left arm never reaches there. I am a normal built person 5'9" ht, wt-75 kg. Would like to know opinin of others. Space at rear & front are ample, but at rear you tend to feel that you are sitting a liittle lower than ideal. The middle of the rear seat is buldged upward to an extent to make the middle passanger uncomfortable on long drives. It has been designed so to form a firm base for the rear hand rest, a feature very seldome used in my car. I would have liked a flat rear bench more than the present design. Comfort levels are high, except bouncy rear ride on uneven roads due to too soft suspension, my only major gripe.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very powerful. You never feel for more power under any circumstances, be it fully loaded, uphill drive, high speed driving, overtaking etc. all with AC on. At 100 kmph on 6th gear, the car comfortably drives at 1800 rpm ie within the turbo band. Press the accelarator, the car reaches 120 kmph in no time, 140 kmph smoothly & the easyness continues all the way to 150-155 kmph, after which the engine boil slows down & then the car takes time to garner further pace. I have done a peak speedo of 170 kmph. The turbo gently kicks in at around 1500 rpm, thus the drivability is good in side city. You do not feel the turbo lag as much. All in all if surface is smooth, one can drive all day at 140-150 kmph all day without any fuss if FE is not a concern. Gear box is super smooth & very easy to operate, slots precisely & travel is short.

Fuel economy: Very much dependant on driving style which is true for most cars. All my FE figures are with 100% AC as I never drive with windows open.

City: Goes 1-1.5 km- stop- av. speed 15 kmph- usage 7-8 km/day, thrice a week- 12.5 km/lit

Highway: @ 100-120 kmph, full load-17.5 kmph

Highway: @ 80-90 kmph, alone in the car- 22 km/lit.

Feel that longish city drive will return a FE of 14-15 km/lit.

Ride Quality & Handling Contrary to the general view, I find absolutely no problem with handling of the car even at 150 kmph on highways, on hill driving etc. Till date could not understand where is the problem.May be too good a driver😊 I am driving cars for last 14 years, driven cars like Old Zen, 800, City, Santro, Wagon-R, Figo, Scorpio, i-20, i-10, Aveo, Jazz, Micra, Fabia, Etios etc etc. Fail to understand the saying " the steering does not feel connected, no feed back" by most experts on steering of Verna. I do feel the steering is responsive, obey your order, light & easy both in city & highways.The car feels under control at 140-150 kmph.

Ride-The real problem lies here.The car feel very much bouncy on uneven roads particularly when fully loaded at speed in excess of 80 kmph or so. Culprit is the soft rear suspension. Hyundai has to bring a solution to this problem for new as well as old customers.  

Final Words I have purchsed the car for enjoying the diesel power & torque and not for any economic consideration. Before purchase of this car my annual car usage had been approx 8 k per year which does not justify purchase of a diesel car. I was also not inclined for a sedan & would have been quite happy with a spacious hatch with similar power & refinement. But no hatch was even close, therefore had to go for this car. No regrets. 

Have fixed rear speakers on rear tray- which is not of much use & would advise others not to do so. Have also installed a bass tube of cheap DAPIC make, fairly happy with it. Total cost- Bass tube-9k, rear speakers- 4k. I am now OK with the sound quality & do not feel for any further upgradation.

Areas of improvement Suspension set up, improve GC & quality of music system I have scrapped the under belly many times with load. When alone it is not a problem. But have to drive carefully keeping the lower GC in mind.

Thanks.

Power, refinement, featuresGC, ride on uneven roads

Exterior Absoultely stunning exterior looks , the coupe design is amazing . But exteriors depend a lot on the induvidual taste and everyone would have seen it on the roads by now , so I am not commenting much on that.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are just extrordinary for this class , auto dimming mirror is a boon at nights , rear view camera is brillianly located , the cooled glove box could have a little more cooling !! , the power folding mirrors add a stlye statement, the space is very good for its class but due to the lack of under tigh support at the rear it requires extra legroom to streatch out and sit for long journneys. Comfort seems amazing , the seats enclose the body so well , the Automatic AC is also extremely chilling , reaches a temperature of 15 deg.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the area where the verna realy scores !! the engines fires forward before even my leg is off the clutch pedal !! even before i press the accelerator the car is waiting to run !! it has power in abundance !! . The Gearbox is just perfect in precision. Fuel Economy I have not realy tested yet !! so no comments. The gear shift indicator is also perfect.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling , the steering is extremely light but misses out on feedback. This is brilliant to drive inside the city and during parkings but could be a problem on the highway . The same holda good even for the suspensions which are extremely soft and brilliant at absorbing pits in the city but that may push down the confidence at high speeds.

Final Words Finally the car is awesome and I am Loving it !!!!!

Areas of improvement Hyundai must better its delarship experience , it was not great at DSC hyundai chennai faced a lot of problems !! , next the waiting period needs to be reduced . The car as such might need an improvement with the steering and the rear camera could show the distance also along with the sound.

Styling, Engine Power, FeaturesWaiting Period !!!!

Exterior

 stunning look. Pick is very good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

All r in-built. Space for keeping thing is low. seating comfort is nice but if the back seat is bit height it will much more comfort.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 

 Engine very much responsive. as of now it is showing 15K/L milage. Gearbox is very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very nice & Handling is also very good.

Final Words

 If u have budget must buy car. no comparison in any aspect with any car.

In many of the review they wrote about Ground clearance is low but I have tested in many places no issues. In this model I got 16" alloy wheel.

No sound from engine.  i can say that this is not belongs to this segment it has to be compared with next level of sedans.

 

Areas of improvement  

 

 

Inside cabin luggage space. paint thickness. delivery time.

Look is awesome. stunning look. Ground clearance is goodpaint thickens is thin

You know you got emotionally attach to things, i got attached to this car i mean i didn't let my parents sell this car because it it THE BEST out there. When we got this car i thought okay good but then i started driving and believe me it is the best best looking car inside out. Both engine and safety are the best also performance omg the best available in this segment you can't find any better no cons just pros

Exterior

 The car is a looker from all angles and looks muscular and mean. Mind-blowing creases and lines. A head turner in all colors. White is a show stopper.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Feature loaded and extremely value for money deal. Segment first feats like rear view camera is an added safety benefit. Good rear seats with decent leg room and amazing front seats with decent lumbar support.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Very smooth and refined engine. 128PS and 265nm torque is a pleasure to drive! Gearbox is smooth and slots into place without much effort. This is the cars USP and does well. It has a linear power delivery and does not snap your neck when the turbo kicks in post 1800rpm. It has a continuous surge of power and never feels out of breath.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Soft suspension, very comfortable in city. A bit bouncy in the highway, but definitely not a deal breaker.

Final Words

 Best sedan in C2 segment by far. Closest rival are the Skoda Rapid and Ford Fiesta. Verna beats them by a mile in overall performance.

Areas of improvement  

 Boot space, music system, boot access from rear center arm rest, auto window up.

 

Fluidic design, driving seat, engine refinement, linear power delivery, comfortable, smooth gearboxNo boot release button in the trunk for SX, average stereo, rear seat too low
