It would have been nice to name it as 'Fluidic' instead of the failure 'Verna'

 

Exterior Excellent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Front seats are too low to be of comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling Ground clearence is too low. You are always tense while driving about the humps and gutters on the Indian roads. You do not always ride on the highways; that too have un-predictable gutters. Excellent while riding on the smooth highways. Excellent power and you can relax your legs on the long drives. I drove it for an hour continuously.

Final Words I was very thrilled and was planning to book one after reading the initial write-ups on the auto magazines and their e-brochure. I badly needed a replacement for my Accent CRDi that is faithfully serving me for last 5 years. It never got me in to any breakdown troubles so far.

But I was totally dis-heartened when the bottom center hit at the first lowest hump where even my Santron and Accent CRDi does not even mind! I was test driving on my regular route from home to office. Also felt like sitting on the car-floor with the too low positioned front seats. The suspension is tooo soft; hence the first problem. Both these points are important to me since I drive quite a lot on my Accent.

It would have been nice to name it as 'Fluidic' instead of the failure 'Verna'. Hyundai should have learned from the success of the Accent and the way they had to bring it back to the market. The main success of the Accent variant are its comfortable seating position and the ground clearence. I have decided to wait for a few months to see whether Hyundai is going to do something about these points. Otherwise may opt for Renault Fluence.

Areas of improvement Increase the ground clearance.

Increase the seat height or provide a facility to pump UP the seat.

Would have loved if the front seats were power adjustable at least on the top variants.

Everything else is excellent.

Most of the features loaded at a very good priceEven on a low hump, the center bottom hits; Front seats are very low
