Hyundai Verna [2011-2015] User Reviews

 

Exterior Awesome looks inspired by the Fluidic design. Makes others envy you.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent interiors with biege finish, could have been made more rich for the price the car is quoted.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pretty smooth drive, transition is smooth, and pickup too. Not in the initial RPM due to the BS-4 lag but car does great in 3rd and higher gears. Milege is not so good.

Ride Quality & Handling Easy to handle, doesnt give you  a mid size car feel. point and shoot in any direction u want.

Final Words Overall its a good car. Sexy styling but little costly for the money we spend. The best part is- SPARE PARTS ARE TOOO MUCH CHEAP FPOR THIS CAR. 2 TIMES LOW THAN OLDER VERNA AND HIGHLY COMPETETIVE TO MARUTHI SPARE PARTS. DAMN CHEAP

Areas of improvement Could offer a better music system. it sucks!

Styling, Styling and StylingLess milege, light body

Exterior

 Love the style and looks. Hyundai has made a class of it's own in the segement. Makes a "WOW" statement whenever friends come around it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very smart dashboard and interiors. Space is very good. The backseat could have been better for 3 adults by not keeping the "rise" in the middle.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Seems to be giving very good performance. Good power, great acceleration. Low noise considering this is a diesel vehicle. Just 6 months using it.. hopfully will stay at this level or better =o)

Real time fuel mileage really makes a difference around optimizing driving habits.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Overall very good ride quality except for the strange knock when rides over pot holes at 20 kmph + speeds at times.

Final Words

 Very happy with the buy till now. Hyundai after sales service is extremely good, hands down.

Areas of improvement  

At this point only  the following comes to mind around "improvement areas"

1) The "knock" sound when driving over pot holes at speeds around 20 kmph plus speeds.

2) The backseat could have been better for 3 adults by not keeping the "rise" in the middle.

 

Great style, features and driving comfortSome strange knock when drives through pot holes at 20 kmph plus speeds

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Really very nice performance, comfortable steering control in the city roads, smooth shifitng of Gears.

Ride Quality & Handling I very much impressed when I bought this car, I had checked all the other possibilities of a Diesel Car with a 12Lacs. budget, I found this one is really value for money. Now the car is 14 Months old, I already driven 30,000Kms. Last 3000 Kms I am facing the following problems

1.Car suddenly became dead,- After complaining to the HMP, they towed the vehicle on the same day, but they took 3 days to understand the problem. They found immobilizer was gone. To replace that, they took 2 weeks. Even I am Chennai, Hyundai Plant also in Chennai, to get a spare they need more than 10Days???

I suspect they are not using quality electrical systems inside the car, because I can't believe that within 1 year the immobilizer will become a issue. Also they are not giving confident, in future it may not happen. So I am really worried to drive this car to out stations.

2.One of the small accident the Front headlight was damaged, to replace that it took 10Days for them, answer is same, the spare is not available.

3. Now the car is 30000kms crossed, the clutch become very hard, if I am  driving in the city traffic for an hour, the same day evening I am getting Knee pain in my left leg. Twice I complained to HMP, but there is no improvement, I think they will give me a answer to replace the Clutch.

4. Now I am slightly feeling that the AC is not functioning properly, I don't know what could be the answer from HMP for that.

Overall my honey moon period with this Car is over, now I am facing the real technology of Hyundai for the Diesel version.

Final Words Being a user I shall not recommend this car other people, because Hyundai don't have a good technology for the Diesel version cars. This my second car from Hyundai, I already had a Accent Petrol, I drove the car around 140,000 Kms, without any problem.

Areas of improvement NA.

Stunning Exterior,beautiful front console,good fuel efficincyHard Clutch,spares not available

Exterior Excellent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very Good.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Only problem with Suspension. Need to stable fast after getting a Jerk. I mean it must have suspension with stabilizer. Even Hyundai Acent is better than Verna as far as Suspension and comfort is concern.

Areas of improvement Verna is outstanding except It's suspension.Hyundai should provide new suspension with stabilizer to all the exhisting customers  to regain it's brand image. It has been done previouly by most of the reputed brands. Otherwise New honda City or other will takeover Verna in a very short span of time. Would like to share my experience.

Just a few days back, on the National Highway No 6, While crossing the Puddle on the road, the Vehical Jumpover and and suddenly Left sided both the tyres have been burst. Since the speed was less i could managed it. Although it was a very horrible experience for me in the night at 9.30 pm, as i could'nt get any help even after calling your helpline number. I couldent understand whether it is a problem with tyer or of suspension. Waiting for reply from Hyundai.

Good Style, Interior, SpaceSuspension

Exterior Superb looks compared to Vento,SX4,Ford Fiesta,City or any similar size car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All features are good, but definitely requires rear AC vent, bcoz its too hot for rear pax.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good pickup and speed. Very bad mileage,I repeatedly checked Full tank to Full tank on city drive with A/c it gives only 11Km per litre - Advertisement misleading!

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth power steering and shock absorbers. I have Spinal Cord,Neck & Back problems,but this car is really good compared to Vento & other similar size cars. 

Final Words Every one wants good mileage. Verna needs a huge improvement in mileage

Areas of improvement  

# Rear Aircondition vent required badly

# Rear view mirror fixed to wind shield is poor idea. Change mounting position. In my car the mirror fell hanging breaking from the pasting chipping the wind shield glass.

# To improve the windshield quality.

# Driver seat adjustment - when we turn the knob to increase height, the front portion raises not the rear portion. This technology is poor.

# Clearance height to be increased. This is India!

Excellent style,Features superb,Smooth steering & Shocks,Value for money11Kmpl in city -Poor mileage,never improved after servicing,Low clearance-Not good for Indian Road.

Exterior

Verna fluidic has a lot going for it in looks. Yet to meet some one who does not like it in looks. (Some may prefer subtle vento-ish design but they still are happy about verna fluidic's looks). I love fog lamps, curves on bonnet and little bump on the boot. Big alloy wheels also add to the pleasing to eye looks. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

A very long list of features. Blutooth, audio system, rear parking sensors and camera with excellent low light viewing, folding side mirrors, abs+ebd, steering wheel controls, aux and usb compatibility, etc.

Space is adequate for most drives for 4 people, unless all 4 passengers are 6ft + in height on a long drive. Forget 5 people of normal size even for 1 hour drive. Curved rear seat and stiff back side of center arm rest for 5th person makes it a total no no.

Front seats are very generous for comfort. Back seat comfort IS THE ONLY NEGATIVE OF THE CAR DUE TO VERY SPRINGY REAR SUSPENSION. and it's a huge negative. Low profile tyres make sure to pass all vibrations due to bad roads transfer to rear passengers. I wish hyundai changes the suspension set-up. Learn from ford.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1.6litre crdi 127bhp, class leading and best performing. And add to the fact that it still has better economy than vento or rapid who come 2nd on power in the class. 

With 100% ac on, i

n mumbai city traffic,  13-14  and on highways having speed of 140-160+ on an average  (bombay-goa via pune kolhapur road) I still got 18.5 kpl. If I had driven around 100-120, surely would have got upwards of 22kpl.

 

 

Gear box is one of the usp. 6speed manual makes mileage figures go up and basically any speed post 75kph, put in 6th gear and drive like you want. Rev hard and keep on overtaking cars of mind your own and cruise at 80kph. Works like a charm. Full marks here.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

Handling is pretty acceptable. Not like ford but absolutely workable. I have seen people complaining about feather touch steering wheel and danger of high speeds, I didn't feel any need to panic. Just takes some time to get used to. But this is actually better for non tiring journeys. feedback of steering wheel could be better.

 

 

Ride Quality is biggest disappointment of this car owing to soft and spongy suspension set-up. After 20-30 mins of highway driving it really gets on to you. Irritating.  The positives of this car are many, but this particular negative takes away all.

Final Words

 

For city driving this car is still best (compared to vento, rapid, new honda city, etc.) Just don't take 5th passenger. For highways, better to sit in last row of innova than rear seat of fluidic verna. 1 important point to mention,  if yout boot is loaded with weight, somehow rear suspension acts less irritating!!

Areas of improvement  

 Change the damn rear suspension!!

 

power, gadgets, mileage, ease of driving, low cost of maintenance.rear suspension

Best in class performance ..(diesel rocket) Fuel efficiency is low Look are still eye catching in 2019 Service is normal ...parts are too highly valuable I found only pros with this car.... Superb built ....no plastic issue nothing

Exterior No one can come near in terms of exteriors looks verna looks awesome in its style.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior also looks dashing but can be better. Space at the rear looks a bit cramped for the person sitting in the middle.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is good. Mileage can be better and gearbox is good as well.

Ride Quality & Handling Steering is feather touch and very light not sure if it will suit all the ppl some ppl may like that some ppl may not differs from person to person. At high speeds as  its a 1.6L engine it can be dangerous because of the feather touch steering. Poor suspension - Felt very touch seated at the back. Very powerful engine. I guess we can cruise all you like.

Final Words A good car can go with it for looks and power.

Areas of improvement I m sure Hyundai will have a look at the suspension factor and mileage. Stability at high speeds.

Styling looks and 1.6 L powerfull enginesuspension, Feather like steering which can be dangerous at high speeds, Built quality and mileage

Exterior

Very Stylish, Can be seen distinctly even from longer distance. Can do some more modificatios to turn the focus towards the same.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The first in class, Rear parking camera with sensors, Automatic climate control, Bucket Seats are excellent, Space is very good with the luxury seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Best & buttery smooth engine, Very good fuel economy 14-15 km/l in City driving & 17-22 km/l in Highway based on the way you drive for a 1.6L Diesel & Excellent gearbox (Shifting is very smooth)

Ride Quality & Handling

Quality of ride is very good. Except for the 'thad thad' sound while driving thro' potholes, but you will not feel discomfort in the seats. Handling the car is as easy as small cars but controlling the acceleration should be a bit conscious thing

Final Words

The Best car ever in the class. And you will realise the same when you drive one or buy one.

Areas of improvement  

 Due to the very soft suspension, at higher speeds the car may feel like flying in air, reducing confidence level.

 

Best performance, excellent style, Good Fuel economy, Good interiors & AC, Feels like a petrol carVery soft suspension, Less spacious for the rear middle seat
