Hyundai Verna (5th Gen) Launched in India @ ₹7.99 Lacs
- Thread Starter chetan
- Start date
I have a Feeling Honda City will suffer majorily since Hyundai Sx(o) Automatic is looking far more VFM than the City Automatic VX and ZX trims which account for nearly 40% of the Sales. Ciaz Diesel which had the SHVS discount will also lose out , since many will prefer the more powerful Hyundai Engine. Will be very suprised if this does not cross 5K sales a Month.
Nah Honda City offers a bolder look,more space , better petrol engine (1.5 IVTEC) and competitors like the Creta etc have also not munched into their sales
But Honda diesels are pretty loud and crude, not as good as Hyundai
Ciaz wont lose out, it may not have got GST benefits but its priced much lower and arguably better resale though Hyundai and Honda arent far behind and Id take any of the 3 depending on my usage,eyes closed

I am jealous of the new verna. Feels like I should have waited a year especially considering price of petrol-SX(O) MT in Mysore and features, 13.8L ON-ROAD !!!!!!.
Is it just me or plastic feels cheap & tacky when compared to older gen especially on door trims ?
I feel that car is a VFM for its features and reliability.
PS : There is a rumour that hyundai may introduce a 1.4L engine pricing even below current E variant.

I visited today for doing PDI of my Elantra SX(O) AT. Saw couple of Verna's on display. Black looks very attractive. Silver is neutral and white looks good. My impressions of few minutes spending there is interiors are ok and I felt Hyundai could have just picked simple single color seats instead of dual tone which is not looking that good. Interior quality again average. Exterior also look like facelift but feature list is impressive. Overall VFM car with Hyundai's service back up and peace of mind. They should have offered Diesel SX(O) AT which could have been trump card to beat rivals.
Kerala prices seem good value for money.
Petrol SX(O) AT - Rs14,12,809
Diesel SX(O) MT - Rs14,34,809

I don't Ecosport will score much on the space front with respect to Verna, especially rear legroom. We are in the market to replace my Dad's nearly 8 year old CIty. I was thinking off CIty VX/ZX until Verna showed up. The VFM pricing of Verna has defiantly got us interested.
Since I drive both Ecosport and 3rd gen Honda City, I can tell Honda City has more space, looks premium. Ecosport handles better, has better brakes stronger suspension, does not bottom out much, has much driver visibility. I understand Honda has corrected the soft suspension of the City in 2014 but the 175 section tyres do not give adequate braking and there have been some panic situation in Highways.

I know but at least Ecosport has higher seating and SUV feel which is a boon for tall people like me
Also GC is a concern, I also own 3rd gen City and while it doesnt exactly hinder me from going anywhere, its certainly low enough to make me a bit nervous
185 section tyres and above does wonders for the City btw, Michelins were too soft though NVH was great
Verna has the edge of a diesel torque converter now, which makes it a top contender unless Ecosport gets the same or maybe even a petrol TC
