Fluidic Verna was launched in 2011 and now it is the 4th gen Verna which is leading the sedan car segment today in sales
DESIGN
In this facelift version, the biggest change is the new honey chrome premium z-shaped grill on which there is a huge Hyundai logo surrounded by a sleekly designed bumper making the front nose of the car more attractive, a black colored skid plate is also present between the z shaped fog lamps, Verna offers a dual Projector LED unit with cornering lamps, however, throw of these headlights is not up to the mark at night, you will also notice integrated side indicators in the ORVMS small air pockets are also present to avoid tire overheating.
When it comes to side view Verna's aerodynamic design does stand out, you will notice that 16 inches 5 spoke Machine cut dual-tone alloy wheels look awesome helps to retain the sporty nature of the car, all the door handles are chrome garnished and the chrome lining around the glass feels more upmarket, The sharkfin antenna is also a stunning part.
At the top of the tail there is a scooped out spoiler and a chrome lining around the reflectors makes it look sharper, black lines at the bottom are acting as a fake skid plate, New LED tail light setup integrated into the tailgate looks fab especially at night
BOOT
Verna offers a 480 ltrs boot space which is decent in number but the practicality of this boot isn't great the loading limp is a bit high and the entry is not square-shaped but the trunk is electric as it offers a first in segment feature of wave off the electric trunk in which the user will only wave his foot below the trunk and boot is opened making it more useful.
INTERIOR
The Interior of the new Verna is a nice place to be in as it offers the most features in its entire segment, hard plastics are used on the dash and door pads but the plastic quality is much better driver touchpoints such as steering doorhandle all are covered with soft-touch material, the front seats of the car are cooled Ventilated and are on the comfy side, most assuring thing inside is the panel gaps consistency, build quality is good and no rattling sound is there even after years and lacks a kilometer, wireless mobile phone charging digital MID and a 20.3 cm infotainment system with Hyundai blue link app, android auto, apple car-play make it close to a connected car, the sunroof is the cherry on the cake.
BACKSEAT
This is not a shofar driven car as the backseat of the Verna offers just an adequate amount of knee room and legroom, this is because of the curvy roofline which gives it a sporty style but compromises on headroom and the central tunnel is also a stone to the path but due to its width 3 people can sit here for a short distance but for long journeys 2 adult and 1 child will be best, also rear A/C vents are present which makes the cabin cooling quite fast doors can hold a one-liter bottle and a rear armrest with two cupholders is offered too.
ENGINE
This 1.5 liters 1493 cc CRDI Engine is a gem producing 114 BHP of power and a massive 250 NM torque but the main advantage of this engine is its flexibility in nature its the engine that offers you great acceleration and at the same time it gives a very good fuel efficiency .its the best engine in all conditions, turbo lag is minimal and we should praise Hyundai for maintaining this NVH levels in a diesel engine, it is too refined that if you drive it once you will, of course, love it.
safety
Hyundai claims that the rigidity of the Verna platform is very solid as 65% of its body is made of high strength steel which is good, the door thud sound is also very assuring and many real-life accidents prove that Verna is safe in some conditions, it also offers ABS, EBD, ESC, HSA,6Airbags, Child Isofix seats making it a safe car.
CONCLUSION
Verna Sx diesel cost you around almost 13.6L on-road New Delhi making it a bit expensive but the features, engine, quality, Hyundai huge service network, sporty (eyecatching)look, are also impressive. According to my person who is searching for a diesel sedan which gives good fuel efficiency, high power, good reliability,feature-rich cabin, and a respected brand value should go for Verna, Moreover Verna is not a drivers car but it also compensates this with its other high specs especially engine . . .
