2023 Hyundai Verna rivals
The all-new Hyundai Verna faces stiff competition in the sedan segment that is gaining popularity again. The Honda City is the segment leader with the VW Virtus, Skoda Slavia and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz following closely. Through the years, the Verna has been a great rival to the Honda City and we can expect this battle to heat up once again. None of these cars are available with a diesel powertrain, which might put off some buyers. However, if fuel economy is what you’re seeking, the Honda City is offered in a hybrid with a claimed fuel efficiency of 27kpl.
