Available in the price range of Rs 7.87 lakh to Rs 13.8 lakh, the third generation Verna is built on Hyundai’s contemporary Fluidic design philosophy which was introduced on the saloon back in 2011. Setting a benchmark in the segment, Verna offered some of the first in class features and outpaced City in the run up to the pinnacle back then. Although Honda was quick to bestow a facelift on City to reclaim top slot in the C segment. The current generation Verna comes with two petrol and two diesel units mated to a six-speed manual and an auto box available on both petrol and diesel trims.

The dual tone colour theme looks up-market and use of silver finish around steering wheel, AC vents and centre console goes well with the overall look. But what looks odd is the wood finish around centre console and door pads. There is a large colour display and a three spoke steering wheel with mounted audio and Bluetooth controls. Space is comfortable in front but rear offers relatively less space. Storage points are provided within cabin like cup-holders, arm rest with storage compartment, door bins and a large boot.
