Well one more reason why Verna can really make some cars history.... Read Fiesta.... Plus i dont think the fiesta 1.6tdci will also be any match for this, can i use the word, monster.....

Octavia 1.9tdi with 88.5 bhp would also be in the firing line.

Which brings about a question whether Hyundai would price the verna around the the Fiesta 1.4TDCi range.I doubt so,at least the crdi version.

My personal opinion is that the verna ex-showroom prices would be around 8.5-9.5 lakh rupees atleast so maybe the fiesta due to its lower pricing may have a lifeline.The skoda octavia diesel may actually be the verna crdi's biggest rival.

The dealer clearly mentioned it will be below 7.5L(ex showroom).
As for 9 lakh, the elantra crdi costs less than 9L ex showroom after discounts.

I think teh base Elantra crdi cost more than 9lac, but the base Elantra petrol one costs less than 9 lac. ( this was frm my exp 2 months back, CAn someone confirm teh pricing)

7.5 L looks like a great price. I wouldnt be too disappointed if its upto 8 L. Anything more would make them miss the mark of chasing Ford and Honda.

Besides they will hurt the Elantra territory if they do so. As for competing with higher Diesels like Octavia - i guess this is what Hyundai would like to do with the new Elantra.

Elantra & Sonata should now graduate to 6-cylinder engines for both diesel & Petrol versions.

tsk1979 · 19th September 2006, 09:20

Elantra crdi costs less than 9L (ex showroom delhi) after discounts.

jkdas · 19th September 2006, 09:42

They have started advertising on papers, saw one on The Hindu; side profile and some horses

@tsk; last time I enquired it was 10.4lac on road here after discounts

Hey Superamerica, that was a crisp objective review....a "scoop" in the true sense of the word! Team BHPians are doing wonders

tsk1979 · 19th September 2006, 11:07

I was talking about ex showroom prices in delhi.
Delhi/Noida has cheaper cars.
Also the discount they tell you the first time is significantly less than what they are willing to give when you are a customer.
I think a member from kerala got his for 9.xx on road.

theexister · 19th September 2006, 12:14

Thanks for the super quick review

Any idea on the petrol version?

mobike008 · 19th September 2006, 13:28

Thanks for the super first review of verna, i was waiting for it with bated breath

I saw in literature somewhere that its gonna be 110 horses, how can they change that aspect within a few months of advertising?????

JKdas, you said 10.xxx price of verna crdi???? is it confirmed? if yes, then its too expensive and hyundai may not notch up higher number of sales for that pricing

7.5 Lakhs-8 Lakhs ex.showroom would be the most ideal pricing so it doesnt compete with someone from its own stable ( read...elantra)

And,

Buyers dont mind paying a few extra thousands for a brand new car and a newer technology ( or upgraded technology with extra boost)....and this will be effectively competing with ford tdci higher end models like SXI & ZXI.....exi is always there for no frills customer....

What do you think guys?????

Sales tax in dilli and haryana much lower than in other states.

Southern states are probably the highest sales tax. Pondicherry might be an exception.

I have a gut feeling that Hyundai is gonna take the average of the prices of Hyundi Accent CRDi & Elantra CRDi for the Verna CRDi.
