| ![]() Hi, I have also short listed Verna diesel AT for a daily drive of 80kms. Do you think is it a wise choice or should I consider any more options as well? It is basically for office commute from faridabad to noida and once a quarter highway trips with family. |

| ![]() Unless you need a SUV body style and roads are in very bad state, Diesel AT should be perfect for you. Rapid/Vento comes with a better gearbox but with it also comes reliability concerns. |

| ![]() Could any Verna diesel AT owners share their experiences on regular service costs incurred? I plan to keep the vehicle atleast till 150000 kms or say 7 years. Is it a viable option to keep verna for that long considering maintenance costs? Or should I look somewhere else? |

| ![]() I am looking for a Diesel automatic and have taken the test drive of both Vento 1.5L Diesel AT and Hyundai Verna 1.6L AT.I feel Verna is far superior in terms of NVH levels,pick up and overall driving comfort.I have decided to go with the Verna 1.6L. Are there any other parameters to consider before I make the purchase or am I on the right track?! |

Verna EX Diesel AT : Rs 14,19,000 (on-road) Vento highline Diesel AT : 14,10,000 (on-road) Vento Highline Diesel AT actually costs around 15,30,000 but there is a 15% discount on ex-showroom price on 2017 vehicles and hence it is matching the price of Verna AT. Though DSG is a better gearbox than the one on the Verna, the other parameters like the 1.6L engine giving out a mighty 128hp and the exceptional refinement of the engine is making it a much better car to drive than the Vento. I seriously felt that vento is absolutely not rev happy experiencing the kind of vibrations and noise that it is producing while on full throttle. The only concern with the Verna is the rear legroom which is definitely a compromise. A bunch of hatchbacks have a better legroom than the Verna. But the rest of the package is so strong that I chose to overlook it. | |

| ![]() It's OT but Vento is called Polo Sedan in UAE. Did not do well. Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Yeah I was surprised too. This was on the Pune-Mumbai expressway while coming from Hinjewadi to Navi Mumbai. I can easily get 25 kmpl on that stretch so I decided to push it as far as I could. Things I observed:
Now just because I can does not mean I always will. ![]() |

| ![]() I recently went for a trip on my next gen verna SxO diesel and the car returned a mileage of 22.5kmpl (combined highway and 2 days of inside town commute on hilly terrains of yercaud) for whole trip of 820kms and 24.4kmpl (on return leg back to home from yercaud). It would have been even more impressive if i had not got caught up in Chennai traffic as the MID was showing 25kmpl till then. All these happened in good aggressive drive on highway. I think it would have been more frugal had i not stepped above 100kmph. I have pictures of my MID but not able to attach here Last edited by SDP : 20th May 2018 at 23:15. Reason: minor typo |

| ![]() Any all new Verna Petrol AT owners here? I test drove the AT and i somehow did not feel comfortable with it all. Am moving from a manual, so that might have been the case, but I found the Vento Tsi far easier to get used to, sure the shifts are faster, but in general the ease of use seemed better. May be I am wrong, please give me some inputs and also do let me know if any of you compared the City CVT vs the Verna AT and as to why you finally chose the Verna AT. Sorry for the back to back posts, was checking out the key differences between EX AT and the SX. Apart from the usual suspects such as missing DRLs, smaller alloys etc, is there a difference in the suspension setup? Car wale lists the EX to have McPherson strut with stabiliser bar whereas the SX has McPherson struts with coil spring. Why would Hyundai differentiate suspension? Is it something to do with the automatic transmission? Last edited by navin : 9th February 2018 at 11:29. |

Our reasons for picking the Verna were:
The City was not in consideration as we felt that the exterior design was overdone by Honda. We preferred the understated looks of the Verna. | |

| ![]() Hi All, How about the tyre rotation alignment and balancing? What should be the frequency? Should this be done only with the Hyundai ASC or can be done outside as well? |
