New Fluidic Verna- Pros

PROS-

1. Handsome looking sedan. New face is mature, with toned-down fluidic styling

2. Competent 1.6L motors, especially the torquey diesel. Wide range of engines & transmissions

3. Interiors offer adequate space with good fit & finish. Cabin refinement levels are superb

4. Ride comfort & on-road behaviour have noticeably improved. No more nervousness

5. Features such as projector headlamps, reversing camera, pure keyless entry & go, rake & reach steering etc.

6. Top notch safety equipment includes 6 airbags, ABS + EBD, impact sensing door locks & more

7. Hyundai's fuss-free ownership experience & excellent after-sales service

CONS-

1. Missing equipment (vis a vis competition). E.g. rear a/c vents, touchscreen head unit & cruise control

2. Rear disc brakes have been deleted from the Verna facelift

3. Insufficient under-thigh support from the low rear seat

4. Though improved, the ride & handling package is far from segment benchmarks

5. Competition (Vento, Linea, Fiesta, Rapid) is more fun to drive! Verna's EPS & dynamics are boring

6. 4-speed Automatic gearboxes. This segment calls for 5-speed ATs

7. The on-road price difference between the 1.6L petrol & diesel is ~1.5 lakhs. That's higher than the competition
