| ![]() I don't see why a petrol Verna should be less reliable as compared to a Jap, if you're talking about mechanical reliability. However, it's more likely for the Jap to be more fun to drive along with better dynamics like steering feel and suspension setup. I personally find Hyundai petrols a bit dull when it comes to fun factor, but maybe that's just me. |

![]() The only thing I didn't/don't like is the old school 4 speed tranny which causes a high-frequency whine on long Expressway drives - but that shouldn't matter anyway for '17 Verna. Last edited by actinium15 : 23rd March 2018 at 23:09. Reason: For clarity | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I'm looking to buy the EX version. A query: Is it possible to change the stock HU of EX with the Hyundai stock HU used in SX version? |

However, after crossing few thousands of Kms on the odo, I don't experience that problem of inconsistent bite anymore. May be the pad/rotor needed some running in. But still Punto's braking is better than Verna's. | |

![]() If I am to quickly compare some of the aspects of these two cars, here's how it would look like, on a scale of 1 to 5, these values apply strictly within the segment: Linea: Power - 3 Handling - 4 Ride comfort - 5 Braking - 4 Interior quality - 2 Fuel Efficiency - 3 Driver Ergonomics - 3 Verna 2017: Power - 5 Handling - 4 (yes a 4, after taking it through some twisties and corners!) Ride comfort - 3 Braking - 3 Interior quality - 4 Fuel Efficiency - 3 Driver Ergonomics - 4 Last edited by clevermax : 26th March 2018 at 22:13. | |

I drive 1.4NA and want to choose between 1.6VTVT SX(O) or 1.6 CDRDi EX due to vitamin M. I'm inclined to go for CRDi and get aftermarket alloys plus Hyundai OEM AVN system. Requesting fellow forum members to help me make a choice. ![]() | |

- VTVT (petrol) or CRDI (diesel) are cousins with different abilities. You need to figure out what you need, depending upon your usage, daily drive distance, etc. * Petrol will give you amazing refinement, low maintenance, a fair amount of zip, plus free you of the worries of a possible 10-year limit on the car's life. * Diesel will give you more pulling power, better FE, though you will need to settle for slightly higher maintenance and lower refinement, along with the possibility of the 10-year limit. - Vit M is always an issue. I would urge you to consider buying what you truly like, and get a variant wherein the toys of your desire come factory-fitted. Look at the excess money you will pay divided by the years you intend to hold the car, and evaluate. The SX (O), though available in petrol only, will thrill you. Cheers, and wish you an awesome buy ahead! | |

| ![]() I think Verna 1.6 CRDi will still be registered for 15 years in Delhi. In few cases some of the diesel cars have got 10yrs printed on the RC but in the RTO database the car is still registered for 15yrs. I have seen cases where the original RC shown 10yrs printed on them while getting a duplicate issued shows 15yrs and I know it is very strange. |

Globally, diesel as a fuel for cars is being labelled as a bad boy. Further, with the rising levels of air pollution in Delhi and other big cities, the smog-laden winter months, rising cases of bronchitis, the Govt. is bound to take a hard look at curbing pollution. Also, car batteries and electric vehicles are likely to make significant advancements over the next five years, and this will encourage the policymakers to look down harshly at Diesel. So with all this in mind, the odds are against the diesel. That was one reason why, after driving the Tata Indigo for almost 14 years, I went in for a petrol car. Overall, it is a scenario driven case - if I were clocking at least 3000 kms per month, I would have still gone in for a diesel engine...the risk-benefit would have been more balanced then. | |

| ![]() I am planning to buy the new Verna. I went for a test drive and liked the car. The only thing which I found lacking are the brakes. I found them spongy. Otherwise overall it's an excellent package at such a price point. Now the dealer has two SXO diesel variants from dec 2017 manufactured in his stockyard. He has offered a discount of 55000 and willing to negotiate a bit more if I choose to buy the 2017 model. Now discount offered to me is on ex showroom price which means I further save on insurance and TDS. The total saving comes to nearly 80k. Its left me in a dilemma wether I should get a 2018 model or a 2017 model. I am planning to buy the SXO variant only. Any advise on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

| ![]() Hi Rajamuneeb, To me 80k seems like a good deal on a new product. Hyundai definitely has one of the best drive trains today in that segment. The handling and ride is also much improved over the previous gen. The cabin was a bit of a disappointment for me considering the low set rear seats and the small driver seats but I am a bit on the heavier side. Overall this seems like a tempting deal. Make sure you test drive City , ciaz, scross too just to get a reference point on what you are missing out on in terms of cabin. Also ensure that you are getting the buyback offer too that Hyundai is offering. I was offered some good discounts from Honda even for 2018 city recently. So worth checking that too. |
