Hyundai Verna - Ahoy Baby!

The Petrol Variant:

The Verna is a replacement for the Accent in most countries across the globe. The petrol Verna is powered by a 1599cc four-cylinder all-aluminium engine that develops 102 bhp at 5500 rpm and 14.9 kgm at 3000 revs.

It's quite a sophisticated vehicle, featuring double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and Continuous Variable Valve Timing. The engine is free revving, which is good, because to extract power, you have to keep it on the boil. It arrives at 180 kph quite quickly and stays there without any effort.

The overall design, even with the current dual-tone theme, is very conservative, but no one can find fault with the way the switches, knobs, stalks and buttons are placed -- yes, it is extremely ergonomic -- while the quality of the plastics that's gone into the Verna is brilliant. It is clear that Hyundai has taken pains to take the game up to Japanese standards.

The Diesel Variant:

The Verna diesel is powered by a 1493cc engine, with four cylinders -- unlike the Accent CRDi! This common-rail direct injection motor features a variable geometry turbocharger and develops 109 horses at 4,000 rpm and 24 kgm of torque between 1900 and 2750 rpm.

Yes, it's more powerful than the petrol version and even the Skoda Octavia. Not just that. The variable geometry turbine that it features means that this power is delivered much more smoothly and it is virtually lag-free. With the amazing torque on tap, the Verna CRDi is a treat to drive. On the highways, it cruises at 120 kph with the needle relaxed at less than 2500 revs.
The easy availability of torque means that it was powering its way through corners effortlessly.
