The new Hyundai Verna is finally here and dives straight into a market filled with competition. We decided to see how the new Verna competes against its main rivals in a specification comparison.
The new Verna has been launched six years after the previous-generation car, which promises to be better at every aspect of everyday travel than its predecessor. Since the last Verna, competition has gotten tougher with the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz which is now available at NEXA dealerships, the ever popular Honda City and bringing in German build quality and reliability is the Volkswagen Vento. The new Verna does not have the market to itself, but does offer enough to make the competition sweat. To know more about the new Hyundai Verna check out our detailed Launch Story.
