Ford Figo diesel owner shares his honest views about 2023 Hyundai Verna

I'd say that the car is an overall compelling package that comes with an explosive engine.

BHPian jackofsome recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I could finally test drive the Verna DCT turbo today.

Background of this review is that I drive the Ford Figo 1.5D.

• In person in darker shades, the car is indeed a looker except for the front Hyundai logo which is hideous, changing it to a smaller one may suit though bear in mind the logo is inside a kink on the bonnet, so better black it out.
• The engine is explosive when in the power band.
• The ride quality is very mature.
• The handing can’t be compared to my car, and the body control isn’t amazing either.
• Overall a very compelling package especially for a person who is tired of sitting on the fence looking for a car which actually feels like an upgrade from my current car performance-wise. I know the VW twins are there as well which I will TD soon, no other car really feels as fast like the Ford let alone better it.
• Plot twist is the Jimny, I absolutely adore the car even though I am aware of its shortcomings. I think that’s a once-in-a-lifetime car.

Here's what BHPian SaiSW had to say about the matter:

Your Figo is also a once-in-a-lifetime car, jackofsome. The 1.5 TDCi is so good that I feel it's unfair to compare it to most engines below 20 lacs. I also have a car with the 1.5D, why I hold on to it is because it can be explosive but also not burn my wallet (I suffer from a bad case of heavy right foot syndrome), I don't think my bank account will be too happy if I get the Verna 1.5 Turbo. But setting aside that, the 1.5 Turbo is what gave me chills in the spine closest to what I got when I first drove the 1.5 TDCi. Great engine. Despite the design shortcomings (afaic), this will be a smash hit.
