[@INDIANMOTORS]

Better than new verna

[@AndyV8maniac]

Much improved video quality as compared to earlier reviews. Way to go :)

[@darrencdias]

But still u guys have managed to give the best first drive review by letting us know the positives & the negatives . . . All the other reviews at the moment sound so sponsored n no except u guys have mentioned the removal of Disc's from the two real wheels which already does exist in the running model . . . Good job guys ! A real legitimate first drive review ! Cant wait for the Comprehensive Review on this car

[@mohitdagar6536]

verna &city base variant kiska well featured hai plz comment fast

[@shabazkhan8935]

verna 2016 is king of sedan 😄😃

[@vatsaldnaik]

I HAVEN'T DRIVEN ANY DIESEL CAR IN THIS CLASS WHICH HAS THIS MUCH "MUTED" ENGINE. REFINEMENT LEVELS ARE SO HIGH THAT YOU CANT EVEN HEAR DIESEL ENGINE HUMMM.

[@sarthaktalukdar7209]

yes you are right.Verna's engine feels more punchy

[@dandaraghuveerreddy7778]

Sarthak Talukdar but it's slower to 100 compared to city and stability.

[@adityatiwari5666]

very precise and yet detailed review, renuka does it the best as always, she deserve her job. . . .ciaz and verna now have a very similar look, and though its a new version of verna, the predecessor looked more fresh and had that oomph factor which is amusingly strange. . . still a good product . . .

[@rajkumar-pf6fd]

is their any description about the hyundai verna 2017

[@1231000vital]

Its giving lots of information. Thanks.

[@Manuj_]

@Autocar India: 2015 Verna or 2015 Jetta. Please suggest.

[@bangrishabh]

can you post the review of Verna 2016

[@omkarkhamkar9388]

rear ac vent n power sockets cud have been sm important ad-ons... Pricing shud be on d lower side to attract potential buyers.

[@caayotee]

The front end looks way too much like the Corolla Altis.

[@PawanDahiyaOfficial]

true that

[@rajeshkondapalli1596]

Miss sunroof touch screen amt

[@btarunr]

Notice how Hyundai has been taking away features with its newer versions? "Elite" i20 took away rear disc-brakes, sunroof, and LED DRLs from the i-gen i20; while this new Verna is taking away rear disc-brakes.

[@samboy05]

This might sound like blasphemy , but technically drum brakes are better at stopping than disc brakes by a long shot , the only departments where disc brakes outshine drums is cooling and aesthetics . Disc brakes can loose more heat than drums , quicker which is why they are at the front where you want less brake fade. Look it up :)

[@VishnuVadlamudiV]

Samrat Roy Doesn't your own statement of inherent brake fade of drum brakes contradict your statement that drum brakes have a better stopping power? If drum brakes were truly better, why aren't they used in higher end cars or in any motor sport including motorcycles? Disc brakes are definitely superior and this is just a cost cutting measure.

[@sandeepgs6852]

btarunr. When a car is newly introduced it attracts a lot of buyers. This new model with the deficiencies of the previous versions still will be sold like hot cakes. After this initial boom is over the sales will reduce. Then they will introduce features like DRL, sunroof, Disc brakes etc so as to boost the sales in the second innings with the same model. If everything is introduced in the first go, then there is no scope of improvement after one year and they have to change the model itself which will a big financial load for the manufacturer.

[@btarunr]

City iDTEC and Ciaz ZDI are outselling Verna SX

[@sohilbaria6120]

I want to know that the automatic variant 1.6 diesel has 4 speed or 6 speed gears ? Anyone can help with this

[@dansonmenezes]

Wen is hyundai launchin veloster n genesis coupe

[@ssskkk786]

Why she didnt discuss about the Automatic variant of this car.

[@Ishankathane]

Why no 1 is talking about maintanace part... After 70000 KM's you must give it a thought. Please review on maintenance part too

[@samuelkaila2435]

City mileage?

[@himanshulapania8448]

Please do the review of verna 2016 Available with touchscreen

[@My-Coco-Series]

planning for the new verna but now have to cancel booking..... old one was like bombshell

[@rheobozhome]

according to me the older fluidic verna was much better and pleasing to the eye.

[@darrencdias]

What a let down, i have patiently been waiting for the facelifted verna after already booking the 1.6 S.X.O pre facelifted variant and keeping it on a hold. No DRL's as i saw in spy shots or the solaris, no disc's at the back the present version has dics on all four wheels and the real deal was supposed to be the new 7inch touch screen but thats missing too . A real disappointment ! Will buy the pre face lifted S.X.O 1.6 as planned. But good review guys :-)

[@sarthaktalukdar7209]

verna is the king of the sedans

[@vedantkulkarni285]

which verna is best automatic or manual?

[@mohammadshahzad2719]

manual is the best!

[@gurkamalsingh5249]

Mohammad Shahzad yes ...cause real men use 3 pedals 😎

[@sarthaktalukdar7209]

manual Verna is the Best

[@manasupadhyay2656]

Nice video! Amazing! Awesome!

[@sarthaktalukdar7209]

yes

[@himanshulapania8448]

nyi verna ka bhi krdo 🙏

[@athulskumar9361]

damn...the Petrol engines are detuned for mileage on Indian version.I have the same car in middle East and the petrol engine puts out more power..

[@GSK958]

no touch screen, no sunroof, boot space lesser than its rivals(ciaz & city)

[@NitinPal]

I have already predicted 1 year back , Check the Sales Chart of Hyundai Verna , autoportal.com/newcars/hyundai/verna/sales-statistics/ , Still in 2016 Hyundai don't haven any thing to show in this segment.

[@dineshs.dinesh2390]

nice

[@puneetkhurana90]

We were expecting more out of the new version. Disappointed!

[@prateeksrivastava386]

this car in place of new hyundai reina ... design and looks , interiors as well as exteriors ..... make it sub 4 metre sedan

[@samgeorgebush9216]

Hate it.. Old one(2014) is better. This version doesn't have DRL and twin exhausts and also the front looks like baby Sonata

[@benjamin_rohan]

Need help should I buy this car or Honda city! Both please my eyes alot! But I get confuse which one should I buy! Help needed! _/\_

[@RohanGNair]

Rohan Benjamin Ciaz

[@benjamin_rohan]

Pretty early 😁 I bought this car ❤️And it's awesome 🙃

[@RohanGNair]

Rohan Benjamin great then! good to hear that you're happy with your Hyundai Verna!

[@athulskumar9361]

Rohan Benjamin mahn u should have waited for some more time as the next generation Verna is scheduled for launch

[@benjamin_rohan]

It's almost 1 year 9 months for my car. :))

[@prateeksrivastava386]

hyundai , new thinking , new possibilities ..... following the fluidic design philosophy

[@nikhil.p3108]

city is bought by all compared to verna as verna is a bit more costlier

[@Saint25442]

front looks like that of azera!!

[@dsinghr]

looks gorgeous.. but still lack the brand and feel good

[@Joelution]

it looks good look, but you know, it still a hyundai xD

[@dsinghr]

Amox are you exceptionally brilliant ?

[@vivs005]

bannajirocks No. I have something which you seem to lack, a brain.

[@vatsaldnaik]

HYUNDAI IS KNOWN FOR ITS ROBUSTNESS, QUALITY, FEATURES AND EYE CATCHING STYLING. I WAS BOOKING HONDA CITY DIESEL BUT AS SOON AS I SIT AND FEEL THE VERNA... I CHANGED MY DECISION AND BOOKED VERNA DIESEL 1.4.

[@dansonmenezes]

Its time fr some rwd fun call the genesis

[@Arunpreet06]

no DRLs,no Navigation....

[@srbhsngh796]

+furiousninja re re re rftaar

[@lesterrocker]

why always red cars

[@ravindrakumar777]

quite disappointed with the looks, and they dont seem to take customer feedback on vehicles stability on highways and lot more seriously

[@korlumchukhu5483]

but whhyyyyyy ! drum and no disc .....i wanted to drift ...

[@prateeksrivastava386]

a compact sedan from hyundai ....

[@URa589]

Damn this Verna Fluidic it doesn't play well with the other cars on highways in terms of overtaking and weight bearing, you can feel a bit of a sway on the car when you reach at the speed of 120-140 km/h it just tries to get on the divider or off the road on highway, plus the brakes are annoying as hell they are not quick in response they should have given discs at rear , the projectors of this car are worse they don't throw the light too far they should have provided an extra reflector for high beam like the next gen verna 2018 , I wish I could punch in the face of the Hyundai for giving such shitty features to such a sporty looking car.

[@mohdsohail8664]

This car in ev version with 500 km range ....🔥🔥👌👌👌👌

[@rahulgosh1]

- Ford Fiesta .. Here I come

[@panchalburagohain]

With price increased by Rs 40..80 K compared to the earlier model.....I think Hyundai have got it wrong this time. People with go with Honda City than this model.Hyundai do except to sell less quantities. Thumbs Down.

[@seeratanddamanshow4534]

Bhhhh

[@parthamitra3174]

nitin pal is bakra

[@KingAlphaOmega]

It's more like the downgraded version of verna. I'll wait for ix25 compact suv. Let me know if there are any better cars in less than 12 lacs.

[@asba7634]

Its looks dumb hyundai...At least give it a touchscreen interface or maybe a sunroof

[@sasank791]

facedrop verna.. hyundai spoiled the look the car

[@thakurshubham2766]

Corolla boooo

[@santusari]

not good,

[@tarunbaskey3349]

Ha ha ha its look like Toyota Etios.

[@27siddarth]

its like telling fortuner looks like a landrover

[@gurkamalsingh5249]

siddarth Joji lol

[@NitinPal]

Uuff....Shameful Release by Hyundai, was waiting for a long time..its very disappointing ..Going to cancel my Booking. Hope Creative Mind left Hyundai. Hyundai Verna Loose faith in Looks and Interiors, Now only Honda City is the last option in this segment.

[@V3NG3ANC33]

Wait for the vento facelift to be released.

[@pranjalsharma479]

+zyyystan vw great agreeable service very affordable parts 😑😑😑

[@RohanGNair]

Nitin Pal Ciaz is the best in the segment I feel

[@pranjalsharma479]

Rohan G. Nair what a joke There is no such thing like Honda city

[@SanthoshKumar-ye3sh]

What a joke..

[@agniswar.dasmitra16]

looks really bad!!!! the previous verna has 100 Times better design. I was a big fan of the fluidic verna it was so beautiful, but now yak!!!

[@MrRonn86]

It looks ugly,the old verna was sexy in looks

[@excalibur6405]

Wat a garbage car. Real piece of shit from hyundai!
