A car worth buying. and must if you are travelling on highways

 

Exterior Its simply superb. The aerodynamic looks from the side and the stylish view from the back of the car are simply unbeatable.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The front seats and the leg room is sufficient enough to make a person with height of 6.2 drive or sit in the car with ease. The air conditioner and the auto climate control are really good. The A.C. is really powerful enough that it can make the car cool within 3-4 minutes even in summer (i haven't experienced it though, but saying this on experience). The strearing is really really soft and gives better control at high speed. However, its grip could be a little slippery as the stearing is very much finished. The stearing mounted controls are also better specifically with the in-built bluetooth controls. The controls on the door are suffiecient with all functions available in the luxury cars. One area of imrpovement could be to solve the mismatch of the colour of Dashboard and the car interior with one having grey colour and other with Jute. Overall nice interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Justifying what I have said in the title, a car for people travelling on highways...have your feet on the accelarator and take the car on the highway. I guess there would be hardly any moment where you need to push the car to overtake any other vehicle. The riding is so smooth that you never come to feel that the car has actually touched the speed limit set by the government for indian roads with one gear still in your bucket. 😉 However, if one take a look of the same thing from the other mirror, it is the biggest issue with this car that it has a 6+1 gearbox. I have Verna CRDi 1.6 done with about 500+ KMs in couple of months but I harldy got a few instances where I can drive the car on Top Gear. Going into a little dip, it takes about 80+ KMPH of speed to enter the car into 6th gear. Considering the roads in our contries and traffic in cities like Metros where there is highest client base of such cars, the 6th Gear of the car is the actual "Villion". It can spoil the mood of speed and fuel economy both sometimes.

Ride Quality & Handling Well a car with the highest pick up, proper balance, effective braking and smoothest handling is a difficult combination to find. The default speed of first two gears is a little high, but one gets addicted to it in couple of drives. I would just say a single liner here to explain this. Have a test drive of the car and experience it. Noone can change your mind after it.

Final Words Simple the best in the segment. If you find even some room to get out of the queue of waitinglist for this, grab the opportunity and purchase it. Let the other company's new models/variants come to the market, someone will hardly beat it in terms of driving pleasure. Fuel ecoomy is simply the great (I wont use the greatest, since verna is car to enjoy driving, not a car to save your money). Till now I am getting 16 on city road and 18-20 on Highways.

Areas of improvement Gearbox (make it 5+1 if any chance), Rear Sit in centre (Common issue faced by all).
