The Hyundai Verna is offered with two petrol engines. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine makes 115hp (84.4kW) at 6,300rpm and 143.8Nm at 4,500rpm. The 1.5-litre turbo GDi engine makes 160hp (117.5kW) at 5,500rpm and 253Nm from 1,500 to 3,500rpm, and it is the most powerful in the segment.

Key facts about the Verna:

A 6-speed manual comes with both engines. The CVT is paired only with the 115hp petrol, and the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic only with the turbo.
Three drive modes, Eco, Normal and Sport, are offered with the automatics.
The Verna measures 4,565mm in length, 1,765mm in width and 1,475mm in height, with a 2,670mm wheelbase.
It has a 528-litre boot and a 45-litre fuel tank.
Suspension has MacPherson struts at the front and a coupled torsion beam at the rear. Front brakes are discs, while the rear gets drums on most variants and discs on the HX8 Turbo DCT and HX10.
Tyres are 185/65 R15 on the HX2 and HX4, and 205/55 R16 diamond-cut alloys on the HX6 and above. The turbo gets dark grey 16-inch alloys with red front brake calipers.
Six airbags, ESC, hill-start assist, ISOFIX and rear parking sensors come on every variant, and the HX10 adds a seventh airbag.
The Verna carries a 5-star Global NCAP rating.
Two 10.25-inch screens, a Bose 8-speaker system, ventilated front seats and a smart trunk are offered on the upper variants.
Level 2 ADAS features include forward collision avoidance, lane keeping and following, blind-spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic alert, driver attention warning, safe exit warning and smart cruise control with stop and go.
Hyundai gives a 3-year unlimited-kilometre warranty, with an extended warranty option of up to 7 years, and a 3-year Bluelink subscription on eligible variants.

Overall, the XUV700 is good. No issues!

Having driven the XUV 7OO extensively on the highway, I feel it will serve your parents' needs better. I would rate its capabilities and features better than the Hycross and even the Safari.

I have been driving the new Verna CVT for over 3 years. It provides decent mileage of 10 to 12 kpl in the city and 14 to 18 kpl on highways. The Verna offers extensive features, good maneuverability, comfort, and excellent after-sales service.

I have been driving an automatic for 2 months and covered around 8000 km. I love it, both in city and on highway.

After switching to E 20 petrol, my Verna automatic 1.5 litre CVT, which is 25 months old, is giving me a mileage of 7 in the city and 12 on the highway. The car is very good, but the mileage has gone down badly. The AC and headlights are not good though.

No diesel or hybrid option, unlike some rivals
Turbo-petrol's fuel economy drops sharply when driven hard

Hi Autocar India, I currently own a Skoda Slavia 1.0 TSI MT, but since my wife prefers to drive an automatic, I'm planning to sell it and upgrade to either Hyundai Verna 1.5 IVT or 1.5 Turbo DCT. I need a car that feels a little more responsive at the lower end, especially in stop-and-go traffic, as I find my Slavia slightly sluggish in this situation. My monthly running is around 1,000 km, with approximately 70% highway and 30% city driving. Between the two Verna variants, which one would you recommend based on my requirements? Also, are there any SUVs in the similar price range that offer good mileage and better low-end response? I would love to hear your recommendation.

•2w

The Hyundai Verna 1.5 IVT will certainly feel more responsive than the Slavia, especially in stop-go conditions, and this is the ideal choice for a city commuter. However, give that 70 percent of your usage will be on the highway, we'd suggest you opt for the Verna 1.5 Turbo DCT for its stronger performance and effortless overtaking ability. Coming from a Slavia 1.0, the 1.5 Turbo will feel like a good replacement for you as far as performance goes, and its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission will provide the convenience of an automatic that your wife is looking for.If you want to stick to a strong naturally aspirated petrol engine for better low-end performance as well as satisfactory highway effortlessness, consider the Honda City or Honda Elevate CVT. Honda's 1.5 feels much stronger that Hyundai's NA engine in the city and on the highway, with the only downside being refinement, where the Verna's petrol fares better.

I am 34 years old and I currently own a Honda Amaze. I am planning to get a new car. My annual running is around 7000 km and 85% of the running is out of Mumbai. I wanted a sedan but that is not mandatory. I want to buy a car that I plan to keep for the next 10 years. I need a safe automatic car that has front ventilated seats with good after sales support. I like Hyundai Verna and Creta but I do not want to go for a Maruti or Tata car. My budget is 15 lakh that can be extended up to 19 lakh if the car is value for money. Which car do you suggest?

•3w

Go for the Hyundai Verna 1.5 petrol IVT. It is the best fit for your requirements. You are coming from a Honda Amaze, so you already appreciate the comfort and ease of a sedan. The Verna is a significant step up in terms of refinement, space and features, and it offers a genuinely premium ownership experience. The IVT automatic is smooth and well suited to your driving pattern, especially with 85 percent of your running outside Mumbai. The Verna also offers front ventilated seats, strong safety credentials and a comfortable ride, making it a great long-term ownership proposition. Hyundai's aftersales support is strong, and the car is known for its reliability and low maintenance costs. Your annual running of 7,000 km does not justify a diesel, and the petrol IVT strikes the right balance between performance and efficiency. The Creta is a good alternative if you specifically want an SUV, but the Verna is the more value-for-money option and better suited to your preferences.

I owned a Verna Diesel AT for 6yrs, which had a 4 Speed Torque Converter AT and now own Seltos Diesel AT for 7yrs, which is a 6 speed TC. I enjoyed both of them and never missed the driving pleasure given the output from these cars and their pairing and the fact that they always come with a manual mode if you want, I'm sure that is the case with 7XO Diesel AT also, which is again a TC unit. Never had any problem with any of these cars in the last 13yrs. Pls go for an AT without worry (atleast with TCs or CVTs). They are time tested. Also, What's the fun in pressing the clutch if beyond a certain age, legs are more important for atleast 18hrs of usage everyday than the small driving pleasure that we get for few hrs here and there ;-)

Hi Autocar Team, I am confused between the XUV 7XO AX7T diesel manual and automatic. My current ride is a Fluidic Verna diesel manual, which is nearing 15 years of ownership and has clocked nearly 2.5 lakh km. My usage consists of mixed city and highway driving, with around 40km daily and weekend highway runs of about 400km. For long-term ownership, which would be the better choice: the manual or automatic?

•5w

Go for the XUV 7XO AX7T diesel automatic. The diesel engine is well suited to your high running, and the automatic gearbox is a proven torque converter unit that is reliable and well matched to the engine. This Mahindra car will make your daily city driving far less tiring, while still being smooth and efficient on the highway. Coming from a 15-year-old Hyundai Verna diesel manual, the automatic will feel like a significant upgrade in terms of comfort and ease of use, without compromising on long-term reliability. The manual is still a good option if you strongly prefer the engagement, but for your usage and ownership horizon, the automatic is the smarter choice.

I am confused between the Hyundai Verna and Hyundai Creta. Which one to buy?

•5w

Go for the Hyundai Creta. The Creta is the more practical and versatile choice, offering a higher seating position, better ground clearance and a more comfortable ride over broken roads. It is also more spacious, making it the better family car. The Verna is the better driver's car, with a lower centre of gravity and a more engaging driving experience. The Creta also has a wider range of engine options, including a diesel, which makes it a better long-distance car. Overall, the Creta is the more rounded package and the better choice for most.
