2023 Hyundai Verna: 10 honest observations from a Volkswagen Polo owner

Having driven a Polo for last 10 odd years, the Hyundai interiors and this new Verna exterior feels like a fresh change.

BHPian TokyoDrifter recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Managed to walk into the showroom to spend some time with the new Verna:

• Contrary to the opinion here, the White colour Verna looks quite good in person. (w/ DRL strip off).
• I tested the hefty feeling or the thud sound of the doors — there are in the high 8.5/10 range if not the 9.5/10 the VAGs get.
• The interiors are notches above VAG 2.0 cars. Period. I didn’t quite find the steering a turn off either.
• 4. Rear leg room and comfort are definitely something to write home about. Didn’t find it short of anything really!
• Having driven a Polo for last 10 odd years, the Hyundai interiors and this new Verna exterior feels like a fresh change. Maybe the first look bias, not sure.
• There’s no (meaningful) flex to any of the materials whether it’s inside or outside.
• Quite like the all black interiors and also the dual tone interiors.
• Red calipers on the alloys looks HOT.
• Test drives to begin in 10 days or less.
• Lots of IVTs in stock for immediate delivery but none is flying off the shelves yet. It’s the Turbo that’s getting all the attention so far apparently.

If the driving dynamics and suspension feel come anywhere close to the Virtus, it’s a no brainier to pick this over the VAG equivalents IMO.

Cheers!
