Hyundai Verna VTVT - getting pampered

 

Exterior Looks are very enviable & makes head turn. Aerodynamically designed that cuts through air currents without any feeling of discomfort or drag in either direction. The chrome plated strip on the doors is like the necklace simmering on a newly wed bride. The head lights shape up like a Chinese damsel with mascara lined on the eye lashes. The wheel caps further enhances the looks on strong radials. The bonnet profile is curvy & enables clear view of road ahead.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Plush interiors giving a pampered feeling to occupants. Rear riders are comfortable with leg space & has liberal width for three. The arm rest is a boon with space for holding cold drink glass. The music system is finely crafted for voice modullations & note synergy. Additional tweeters give a good surround sound effect. Beige interiors with beige seat covers give it a rich look. Motorised rear view mirrors is very helpful especially during parking at low dividers. Very powerful air conditioner with nicely crafted louver positions.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel efficiency could have been better. Currently it is at around 11 to 12 in city driving while 13 to 14 for highway driving. The engine revs up effortlessly to cruize at high speeds. I have driven at peak speeds of 140 kmph on Mumbai Pune Expressway but maintains the stability & ride remains free of vibrations & engine noise inside the cabin. A look at the speedometer is the only way to realize that you are cruizing at 140 kmph speed. However, fuel efficiency goes for a toss at speeds higher than 80 kmph. Manouverability is excellent making it a good city car. All round viewing is made easy because of side viewing glass window & also clear rear view. Prismatic rear view mirror makes it easy to view thro high beam head lights of rear traffic.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth & effortless at even high speeds. Good floor clearance.

 

Final Words Excellent car & a driving delight. It is so good that you can do away with your driver. No exertion even after long drives of 7 to 8 hours at a stretch. If you are ready to spend a few bucks for driving comfort it can be a good car for you. I have made this decision to go for a Verna after trying out all other cars like City, Aveo, Fiesta, Jazz, Linea.

 

Areas of improvement Low luminiscence of head lights. Fuel efficiency can be better. Gear shift can be more smooth.
