My Experience owning a 2023 Hyundai Verna! Detailed ownership review

Here's my comprehensive review of owning a Hyundai Verna: I've had the pleasure of owning a Hyundai Verna and I must say, it's been a great experience. The car is efficient, and reliable, and has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and comfort. From the sleek exterior design to the spacious and well-equipped interior, the Verna has genuinely impressed me. I appreciate the attention to detail that Hyundai has put into this vehicle, such as the advanced safety features and intuitive technology. I highly recommend the Hyundai Verna to anyone looking for a high-quality, enjoyable driving experience.
Car was purchased at Pavan Hyundai Showroom Kanakapura Road near Konanakunte Bangalore.

Nice detailed review.. links provided for other features are helpful.

[@guruprasadkm]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@kaushikrangarajan3103]

Lovely video. I’ve booked the Verna DCT Turbo too! Just wanted to enquire you about the black seats. Does it make the cabin overly heated up - especially considering you’ve picked it up in the summer (May). Do you have covered parking spot or is it out in the open as mine is in my Bengaluru home

[@guruprasadkm]

Thank you, Kaushik! Yes, these black seats being leather is a pain. Luckily I have covered parking so there are no issues there most of the time. But, when you park in the sun the cabin gets too hot. Even if you put the AC in full blast it doesn't help. So I have come up with some workarounds. I roll all the windows down, and open the sunroof so that the heat dissipates quickly out of the cabin and after it cools off for a bit, I run the AC to allow the cabin to cool down. This is the challenge I face. If you don't have covered parking, I think you should find some shade if possible, else use a reflective car cover.

[@ayonchakraborty6175]

Thanks for the review. Knowing blore roads what is your take on ground clearance if verna and its performance.

[@guruprasadkm]

In the last 45 days + of ownership, I have managed to not scrap the car even once. I am pretty careful at potholes. I feel it is still slightly on the lower side, but nothing to be worries about. Performance wise, I feel I have bought a budget sports car in all means! Truly! It flies on the highway!

[@sushilnawadkar]

Basically ADAS is useful in some cases but not worth it n at the end you don’t want it to be in car as long as you are connect with heart of the car

[@guruprasadkm]

True words. Absolutely right

[@thugsOP_YT]

Hey ..Great Video and one thing to ask..Did u give some time for the engine to break in or just push the pedal and had fun?..Because many tell to drive at a normal varying fashion and give engine itz time to roar…

[@guruprasadkm]

Yes, I did give it some time as it was recommended to. Until I crossed 500 kms, I didn’t push the paddle to the metal! Post that I’ve been pushing it whenever i feel like!! It’s a mini sports car!😍

[@thugsOP_YT]

Enjoy and thanks for the response..Hoping for more Videos!!!!!

[@Anmol___Rajput]

Well done sir. But I request you to please make a tank to tank mielage of hyundia verna. Actually I m planning to purchase the new verna but I am pretty confused about the mielage of the car.

[@guruprasadkm]

I have a done a tank to tank mileage test of the car in both city and highway conditions. However, haven't recorded it on a video. You can take my word on this. In the city, you can expect 8 to 11 based on traffic conditions. It can go lower too if you drive in bumper to bumper peak hour traffic with AC on in cities like Bengaluru or NCR region (gurugram). However, on the highways, I have always received a minimum of 16kmpl with full load and AC on. Highest seen mileage for me is 19.5kmpl with same testing conditions. Hope this helps.

How much mileage are you getting on this model of your verna?... I plan to buy the same model as yours, however I am concerned about the mileage in bangalore city, please let me know

[@guruprasadkm]

Please watch my next video on my channel where I’ve answered this question of mileage in extreme details. Especially how it does in Bangalore city

[@SaikiranMavuduri]

Good review. Did you face any problems with the ground clearance?

[@guruprasadkm]

Yes. Till more I’ve only scraped the bottom only once in one year of ownership.

[@sambaranchaudhuri5961]

Did you find any engine oil consumption issue like the virtus ?

[@guruprasadkm]

Absolutely not! No issues like Virtus or Slavia faced with engine oil consumption!

[@rajatsethi3041]

Bro as you’ve spend 20 lacs approximately is it better go for turbo dct for the precision and feel, Hyundai showroom guys are saying that turbo will return a mileage in double digits in city how true is that I’ve asked them multiple times

[@guruprasadkm]

Bro, turbo DCT is just too good in terms of precision & feel. Gearshifts are not felt at all. As far as the mileage I am getting, it is averaging between 9 to 11 kms in city in normal traffic conditions. If it is heavy bumper to bumper then you can expect 7 to 9 if it is for long hours b2b traffic. Highway mileage has been phenomenal for this power packed machine. It is returning around 18 to 20 kmpl easily. Hope this helps.

[@rajatsethi3041]

@@guruprasadkm thanks!!

[@pskashikar]

Did you find an issue with the rear speakers having a very low output ? This has gone viral on KZbin.

[@guruprasadkm]

It does have low output. However I’ve set the sound to center stage so it doesn’t bother me as much as it used to during the early days

[@prakashkothakurasivenkatar2915]

[@imsolo9983]

Can't upgrade the led light bulbs as it's is Molded I'm so Dissapointed aerofit wipers are not compatible I'm Planing on 360degree camera ! Hyundai sells it for 30k what do you think ?

[@guruprasadkm]

There is a workaround for the led light bulb situation. Infact I too felt the light to be inadequate on dark non lit highways and hills. The workaround is that you have to completely change the LED light assembly to a lower variant Verna's which comes with a projector setup. Doing that would allow you to change the projector in a coupler to coupler method. The downside of doing this is you will lose cornering lights function. As far as the 360 degree camera is concerned that comes as a officially supported accessory by Hyundai, I have seen it first hand and it surely looks aftermarket. I too was skeptical of not having it at this price point, but the parking sensors on the front are really helping me and I haven't yet felt the real need of a 360 degree camera. Hope this helps!

[@imsolo9983]

@guruprasadkm I took a test drive in the evening the light was below avrg n the wiper aero twin is not compatible , Is there no other way to upgrade the lights covering lights are so very useful it work perfect in tricky situations, I saw these 50w osram Led lights so good in my friends car, I was told by the service centre people tat the led is lights are 60w I wish there was a way to fix these bulbs rather than degrading the lights, to an older generation, the 360 degree felt cheap with a remote n everything my friends venu they had incorporated on the 8inch screen it was horrible on the initial days they fixed it n calibrated it well n looks pretty ok! I thought those would look better on verna coz the bigger screen size , I was driving venu up and down, bunber to bumber traffic , parking in tight spaces trust me the 360was so very useful, the service centre people told me as the car comes with integrated front sensor it works better as it has a pro kit on it but the calirty of the camera remains the same ! I might go for it I'm not sure ! Can you add me on the verna WhatsApp group ?

@guruprasadkm showing as loading can't add mate ! And would you be doing damping ? On the doors n bonnet ? I was thinking of doing the 3m one, what is your opinion on it ?

[@guruprasadkm]

I feel the NVH is very nicely controlled in the verna. I too surely thought about it, but right now I am not going for it.

[@anindyakumardutta9778]

How is the performance of headlights in pitch dark roads?

[@guruprasadkm]

Just adequate to say the least. I feel there’s very much room for improvement! The light throw of the high beam especially could have been much better.

[@pskashikar]

Should be this a reason to reject the car?

[@guruprasadkm]

@@pskashikar Absolutely not! I don’t see it as a reason at all to reject the car!

[@hrishikesh_shukla]

Hey there what kind of mileage are you getting in city & on highway?

[@guruprasadkm]

In city conditions, 9 to 11 kmpl & on highways I have seen once the mileage crossing 20 kmpl. So you can expect around 17 to 20 kmpl based on driving conditions.

[@geethanpalanisami1336]

Does verna have air purifier? The brochure says so. Can you confirm?

[@guruprasadkm]

Yes, it does come with one air purifier built in

[@geethanpalanisami1336]

Thanks for the reply bro. Do we have a display for it like creta?

@@geethanpalanisami1336 We don’t have the display separately like in Creta. However from the infotainment system you can control it

[@Ak___007]

Hy sir....Nice video...What mileage do u get...? Both City and Highway

[@guruprasadkm]

Thank you sir! I get around 9 to 12 in city & 18+ on highways

[@siddharthjoshi8337]

Is this a DCT variant? What is the mileage you are getting?

[@guruprasadkm]

Yes, this is a DCT. I am averaging around 9 to 12 in city conditions depending on the traffic conditions. On one isolated bumper to bumper situation, I have seen it dropped to 8kmpl as shown on the instrument cluster. However, the story is totally different on highways. In 250 kms round trip I got around 19kmpl with driving speed around 90 to 120 varied. It is excellent on the highways and returns good fuel efficiency. Hope this helps.

Hows the mileage Guruprasad bro?

[@guruprasadkm]

Mileage has been between 9 to 12 in the city. But in extreme bumper to bumper conditions, I’ve seen it drop to below 9 as well. On the highways I’ve seen the car return 17 to 20 easily based on the driving style and the road. Excellent mileage especially on highways considering that it is so damn powerful and a turbo petrol car

[@kalpanakr5963]

[@guruprasadkm]

Thank you!

[@kaigaraj]

What about service costs?

[@guruprasadkm]

Very minimal!

[@user-li6lr9oz3v]

Hi, What is the reasons for choosing Verna? Why not Virtus or Slavia?

[@guruprasadkm]

My personal reasons were that Slavia and Virtus had way too many reports of quality control issues especially in the interiors. Expensive service. After sales support isn’t as great as that of Hyundai. Expensive than Verna.

[@imsolo9983]

Dsg is around 4lakh they don't give warty for gear box but verna gives 5year warranty n can extend to 7years

[@PlayaAkshay]

Thanks for your detailed ownership review. You didnt speak about lane assist. Do you not use lane assist? I did a test drive and it felt like i was not in control of the car since the car wanted to stick to the lane even when i tried to over ride it for a lane change. Could cause an accident. Would love our thoughts on this...

[@guruprasadkm]

@@PlayaAkshay I do use lane assist. There is lane assist quick on/off option on the steering wheel itself. In city roads it is intrusive and hence I generally keep it turned off in the city. But on the highways, it is a boon. I usually turn on the lane assist and adaptive cruise control and the car nicely drives itself like an autonomous vehicle! Hope this helps

[@user-fj2jy7pp5x]

Does the Verna face a ground clearance issue?

[@guruprasadkm]

I’ve driven my Verna for over 3k kms in city and ghat sections too. I’ve faced ground clearance issue literally once. So I’d say 95% of the time you won’t have any issue
