    Hyundai Verna [2017-2020] SX (O) 1.6 CRDi Review

    The Hyundai Verna has been around for a long time now. With 3.18 lakh units sold in India and with over 8.8 million customers worldwide, it’s safe to say that the Verna is one of Hyundai’s most popular sedans and not without a reason. 

    What is it?

     Why will I buy the Hyundai Verna diesel?
    For its extremely torquey engine, bucket load of features and new-found ride and handling balance.

    Why will I avoid the Hyundai Verna diesel?
    Lack of rear legroom.

    The Hyundai Verna has been around for a long time now. With 3.18 lakh units sold in India and with over 8.8 million customers worldwide, it’s safe to say that the Verna is one of Hyundai’s most popular sedans and not without a reason. The car across all its generations was known to be extremely comfortable, offering plenty of features and very good value for money. The new car promises to offer all that more.

    Styling-wise the Verna is a good looking sedan. Hyundai has made sure it hasn’t taken an ultra radical approach to design. According to Hyundai, being too bold also runs the risk of the car ageing too soon and as a result you have the new Verna balancing it out between radical and conservative. The silhouette is quite similar to the earlier car but look closely and the new details come through. The front now gets the new family face that you see in the Xcent and the Elantra thanks to the chrome cascade grille. Now the thing is that the front bumper also gets a very aggressive chin spoiler and splits the air dam from the grille. The transition from the grille to the air dam could have been executed better. This is the only area which does not blend well. The swept back projector headlamps are now smaller than before and also get LED DRL’s which is the norm these days. 

    The side profile is brought to life with the 5-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels which get kind of a gunmetal grey finish. They really stand out giving the car a sporty appeal. Unlike its Japanese competition you don’t see too many cuts and creases for additional drama. Can’t say the same about the rear though, which has plenty of visual drama and is pretty much the best angle of the new Verna. It’s tightly designed with a lip spoiler and a faux diffuser adding the sporty elements and the split type LED taillamps with LED guides adding a premium appeal. The new Verna then isn’t a ground breaking car when it comes to design, but its good looking car that is sure to be hated by none.

    How is it on the inside?

     If there’s one manufacturer who knows how to liven up the interiors, its Hyundai and the new Verna is no different. You get a dual tone dashboard and thankfully there’s more of black than beige. Hyundai has made sure it offers a driver centric layout and as a result everything falls to hand easily. The whole dashboard however we think takes up a lot of space and it could have been designed to generate more room in the front. Also the dash gets hard plastics and Hyundai could have given it a soft touch feel to make it more premium.

    The driver seats are extremely comfortable and adjusting it to ones preference takes no time at all and more importantly are ventilated which is a segment first. Nothing like a cooled seat on a hot day. The steering feel feels great and is just the right size. The buttons work and feel good but lack the tactile feel of the Germans.

    The big news up front is the new infotainment system. Staring at you in the centre is a 7-inch IPS capacitive touch-screen AVN which comes with Apple Carplay, Android Auto and Mirror Link for seamless integration of app based navigation, streaming audio, voice controlled search capabilities and smart phone applications.  It also gets 6 speakers along with Smart Surround Sytem by Arkamys and it does sound the part. Another first from Hyundai is the Eco Coating Technology which prevents unpleasant smell to develop in the AC Evaporator by degrading the micro-organisms developed in the AC Evaporator Core. How well this works will have to be seen over a prolonged duration.

    Moving to the back, the seats are pretty comfy. Under thigh support is average at best, but what won’t make it comfortable is the legroom. The legroom at the back is just about average and more so when you have a tall driver behind the wheel. Compared to its immediate rival, the Honda City, the Verna does fall short here. Legroom aside there is plenty of storage and you even get a USB charging port at the back. And you get rear ac vents and a manual rear windscreen blind. Boot space at 480 litres is up over the earlier car and also gets a hands free smart trunk that will allow the passengers or the drivers to open the fifth door just by waving at the sensor.

    You also get to choose from as many as 6 airbags, a reverse camera and rear parking sensors along with ABS and EBD among other features making the Verna a very well equipped car should you choose the top variant.

    How does it drive?

    The Verna comes with the same 1.6 litre petrol and diesel as before. Let’s look at the diesel here. For now, Hyundai isn’t offering the 1.4 litre diesel, but we are sure the new GST implementations might force it back under the hood. With 126bhp@ 4000rpm and a meaty 245Nm @1500-3000rpm, it’s still the most powerful diesel in its class. Hyundai has worked on the NVH levels and it shows being one of the most refined cars in its segment. The big news however is the gearbox. Hyundai has finally junked the 4-speed auto and replaced it with a 6-speed auto. The manual 6-speeder is retained.

    If you were a little disappointed with the carried over powertrains, here’s something to perk you up, the all-new K2 platform. The last-gen car’s ride and handling package was its major Achilles heels and based on the feedback, Hyundai has worked extremely hard to improve it by bringing in the new platform. The K2 platform gets 'super body structure’ which is built on an advanced high strength steel structure that ensures extremely good rigidity and crash performance.



    Despite all the cars available at the drive, a not so well planned schedule meant we only got to drive the manual diesel. Push start the diesel motor and you immediately notice the refinement. Yes a little a bit of diesel clatter can be heard but it’s negligible. The clutch feels light and the throws are nice and crisp. The engine builds power in a very linear fashion and builds up speeds quite quickly.  Outright acceleration is plenty good but the drivability is even better. No matter what gear the car is in, with the torque available at as low as 1500 rpm, it’s always in the meat of the powerband.  The engine revs pretty freely as well and it’s only past 4.5k rpm that it starts feeling coarse. While the power and torque figures are identical to the earlier car, Hyundai has re-tuned the engine to deliver more power at the bottom end.

    Like we mentioned before Hyundai has worked plenty hard to sort the ride and handling issues of the previous car. So along with a brand new stiff chassis, the Hyundai has also changed the rear shock absorber position by making it vertical and tuning the McPherson struts upfront. A hydraulic rebound shocker has also been included to smoothen out the vertical shock movements. The mountings for the shock absorber have also been changed for reduced suspension clatter and we can tell you for sure that it works great. The steering rack is all-new too and is way more responsive.



    Out on the road, the steering feels unlike Hyundai’s of yore. Gone is the dead, lifeless feel of the older car. The steering still feels light at low speeds, but weighs up nicely as the speeds build up. And this along with the new suspension and chassis set up does wonders for the Verna. The car feels taut and rolls a lot less than before. Yes it’s still tuned for comfort and does roll when pushed, but at the same time feels extremely confident while being pushed. Ride quality is stiffer now but Hyundai have struck the right balance here. Going over bad patches, we just felt muted thumps with the car taking in all the undulations with utmost ease. Full marks to Hyundai here.

    Why should I buy one?

    If you are considering a mid-size sedan, the new Verna makes a very strong case for itself. It looks good, comes with a bucket-load of features and now even rides and handles well. It’s got a good list of segment first features and that takes the Verna to the next level compared to the competition. The only place it struggles is rear legroom especially when you compare it with its immediate rival, the Honda City which feels and looks like a bigger car. But what it loses in space it gains in price. The base Verna diesel undercuts the base City diesels price by a whopping 88k which is a huge amount. The other advantage is that the Verna gets a diesel AT too which the City lacks. However even the top end diesel Verna AT SX+ undercuts the top end City ZX diesel by over a lakh, and that makes the Verna a bargain deal of sorts. Mind you these are introductory prices which will go up soon.

    Where does it fit in?

    Bang in the middle of the mid-size sedan war. Hyundai expects to sell 4-5000 units of the new Verna every month which is a big number considering the Honda City sells about 5-6000 units a month. Apart from the City, the Verna will also have to contend with the Maruti Ciaz, Skoda Rapid and the Volkswagen Vento.

            Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

          • Fuel Type
            Diesel

            All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

          • Max Power (bhp@rpm)
            126 bhp @ 4000 rpm

            Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

            Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

          • Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
            260 Nm @ 1500 rpm

            Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

            The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

          • Mileage (ARAI)
            24.75 kmpl

            This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

            Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

          • Drivetrain
            FWD

            Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

            Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

          • Transmission
            Manual - 6 Gears

            Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

            A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

          • Emission Standard
            BS 4

            Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.

          • Turbocharger / Supercharger
            Turbocharged

            Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

            Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

        • Dimensions & Weight

          • Length
            4440 mm

            The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

            Length
            • Length: 4440

            Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

          • Width
            1729 mm

            A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

            Width
            • Width: 1729

            Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

          • Height
            1475 mm

            The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

            Height
            • Height: 1475

            Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

          • Wheelbase
            2600 mm

            The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

            Wheelbase
            • Wheelbase: 2600

            The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

        • Capacity

          • Doors
            4 Doors

            The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.

            Doors
            • Doors: 4
          • Seating Capacity
            5 Person

            Seating Capacity
            • Seating Capacity: 5
          • No of Rows
            2 Rows

            Smaller cars usually have two rows which can seat five, but some SUVs and MPVs have three rows and can seat around 7-8 passengers.

          • Bootspace
            465 litres

            Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

            Bootspace
            • Bootspace: 465

            A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

          • Fuel Tank Capacity
            45 litres

            The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

            If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.

        • Suspensions, Brakes, Steering & Tyres

          • Front Suspension
            McPherson Strut with Coil Spring

            Almost all cars in India use an independent front suspension which is usually the MacPherson Strut type.

          • Rear Suspension
            Couple torsion beam axle

            The rear suspension can either be non-independent or independent.

            Most of the budget cars have non-independent suspension while the more expensive ones get independent rear suspension which offers better bump absorption.

          • Front Brake Type
            Disc

            Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.

            - The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.

          • Rear Brake Type
            Drum

            In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.

            Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.

          • Minimum Turning Radius
            5.2 metres

            The official kerb-to-kerb minimum radius a car takes to complete a 180-degree turn.

            Shorter the turning radius, the lesser space you need to make a tight turn or to take a U-turn.

          • Steering Type
            Power assisted (Electric)

            Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

          • Wheels
            Alloy Wheels

            The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.

            Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.

          • Spare Wheel
            Steel

            Important in a country with varying quality of roads, spare wheels ensure one doesn’t get stranded when one of the main tyres gets damaged.

            Select premium car models feature space savers (smaller than the stock wheels) to save on boot space.

          • Front Tyres
            195 / 55 R16

        • The Sedan you should own
          I have always liked sedan cars, and Verna is one the best in its variant and I think it is totally value for money as it has a very classy and luxuries looks both exterior and interior and it comes out with a bunch of decent features including sunroof, climate control etc and it even has a good fuel economy which is very important for Indian customers, As per I have seen the car it is better than most of the other sedans available in this price range and I have driven for a couple of kilometres and I found it really comfortable for both city and long travelling and I am pretty convinced to but the new 2020 edition Hyundai Verna

        • Positive opinion and truth
          That car is a very numerous fell when driven and confidence about driving,excellent power from starting to end and very soft driven steering and gear so I hope we appropriate my opinion about Verna.

        • Superb car to drive...
          It's a very smooth engine and nice to drive the verna...i am using the car from the last 1and half year... My odometer is 23k until now i had a very good experience and still the engine is very smooth and coming to features wise it was very good having ventilated seats, sunroof and six airbags... I was completely happy of owning Verna. Coming to mileage it's really beautiful... if I maintain 80 to 100 I am getting around 23 to 25.... if I cross 120 speed it's around 18 to 20...
