Hyundai Fluidic Verna 4S [2015-2016] vs Ford Fiesta

Hyundai is introducing a facelift to infuse the novelty factor in the sedan that is already the most powerful and contemporary looking in the segment. We drive the new Verna ahead of the launch to find out if Hyundai has given it enough teeth to take on the new segment leaders.

The Fiesta is one of the globally-acclaimed cars from the Ford stable. It carries huge respect. Even in India, the car formerly known as the Fiesta is the one that picked up the mantle from the Ikon and took Ford to greater heights – but the new Fiesta was a quantum leap ahead. Unfortunately, it jumped into a price bracket where suddenly rear seat space was a requirement, not an option – and the Fiesta always was about the driver, not the backseat. Sales plummeted, and the Fiesta was largely ignored despite a first-in-class feature and a fantastic automatic gearbox that was added later in an update.
