What owners and experts like about the Hyundai Verna
Boot space
Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews
“right at the back the Verna has the edge on boot space as far as volume goes and the boot also visually looks wider”
Dashboard layout
Strongly positivebased on 8 reviews
“the center console that's angled towards the driver, it's a lot more convenient to be honest and it's not really uncomfortable for the passenger either”
ADAS driver assistance
Strongly positivebased on 10 reviews
“it is a big plus when it comes to safety the lane keep assist Lane departure blind spot monitoring rear cross traffic alert and automatic braking amongst others all work with precision”
Rear seat space
Generally positivebased on 14 reviews
“Limited rear seat legroom was one of the reasons to avoid the last generation Verna, but Hyundai has made amends with the latest one - there is an immense amount of legroom for occupants at the back.”
Ride comfort
Generally positivebased on 10 reviews
“The suspension is soft, but because the ground clearance is low (165mm), it hugs the road, so it doesn't give the noticeable body roll a soft setup usually would.”
Fit & finish
Generally positivebased on 6 reviews
“You do get soft touch elements on the dashboard, the seats are nicely finished in leatherette upholstery.”
Where the Hyundai Verna falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Turbo response
Generally negativebased on 6 reviews
“they aren't the most responsive at moderate speeds they'll do just fine but if you rush the gearbox it does take a while to shift up and down”
Handling
Generally negativebased on 9 reviews
“the steering just doesn't feel as well weighted as the Honda City - it's a good steering and it's better than the older Verna, it is an improvement, but in this comparison it just doesn't give you as much confidence as the Honda City does”
Seat comfort
Mixed reviewsbased on 14 reviews
“Under-thigh support is next to none — both the 5'10" owner and the 6'2" host reviewer found no thigh support at all, regardless of height or seat position, because the seat is set elevated/high at the front.”
