Verna is a big dissapointment

 

Exterior Good looking and sporty front.Rear is a bit similiar but looks cute.Nice looking Turn Indicators.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash and steering look good but wood finish looks old and cheap.Blue backlighting is good looking. Boot is not good,boot space is 352 litres(The Honda Jazz has 366 litres).Boot space could have been 466-477 litres.But seats are not cramped.Front seat could have been like New i10 or New Santro.Rear seats have good legroom and headroom but lack thigh support.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 110 BHP Crdi engine is more powerful than the bigger Altis Diesel.Howewer the fuel economy is 12 Kpl in Diesel Verna,could have been better.I bought the Auto Transmission Vena Transform Diesel which is not much crisp but just OK.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is good at low speeds but at 100 Kph is sloppy and too unsettled.Handling is OK.

 

Final Words Instead of this Verna,I could have bought Fiesta SXi ABS diesel or Fiat Linea Diesel.Build quality is not good and it is overpriced in 10Lakh for the AT Crdi.Boot is not good and wood finish looks awkward.Lots of turbo-lag but it is a powerful and stylish Hyundai Verna Transform.Grille looks better than Linea or Honda City.But Verna is not awkward looking and Hyundai offers good aftersales and showroom network.

 

Areas of improvement That hatch back boot.Price it atleast Rs 9.82 lakh on road(Delhi).Build could be like the tough build of Linea.Even the Wood Finish is awkward. 

 

Comfort,Good headroom,Good Looks,Nice PerformanceFlimsy build,Tiny boot,Wood finish looks cheap
