All we need is a Verna N line with a stiffer suspension and better handling as well ❤

[ducatimultistradav]

Hyundai has almost got everything right with the new Verna.. Beating the Germans on the drag strip is something seriously amazing ❤

[naveenbhat]

Verna has ruled this segment, at least in straight line performance, for a while CRDi was the king earlier, and now this 1.5

15.75 quarter mile😨
That is quite fast for under 20 lakhs sedan car❤

Dear AutoCar India, Why don't you add Rolling Races, Braking test, Moose test etc in Videos??
Addition of all this will make the videos much more interesting to watch

[souravsivadatt]

Why slavia's break lights on at 1:58 ????

[keshavsakthi]

The verna just keeps growing on me.

At 1st i was like wtf, then saw a few on the road and got familar with its face. Then drove one and loved it. Later it got GNCAP 5 star rated and now its beating the germans on their turf.

this is a great example of, cars can have a character arc too

[sreeharthik]

You can also do rolling races and break test between cars on the drag would be more interesting and fun to watch...

[vivekanandan]

It's so sad to see there is no new diesel options now due to strict emission standards.... Diesels are my favourite engine choice....

[carkid]

When I heard they both are in I switched quality from 480p to 1080p

[vrt]

So now HYUNDAI is faster, more reliable, and less expensive, with low maintenance and 5-star safety.
Smoked VW Skoda in all aspects.🎉

[varunjm]

Finally I will get an Abarth substitute with Verna manual. Locally manufactured engine 1.5 always best

[pistonhead]

Hyundai has nailed it this time everywhere, performance, better quality, safety, no.1 sedan of India

[Saahilll]

That's what we can say a competition.. Hyundai worked hard made new Verna considering Performance, Safety, Features, Turbo engines etc just to defeat the Slavia/Virtus and Vw/Skoda adding new features like Electric seats, Subwoofer, New Variants in 1.5 tsi etc Where Honda is doing competition with their own by not offering turbo engines, No segment first Features, No crash test ratings of Indian variant etc
Honda you can do much better..

[anandsidharthjoshi]

1:04 skoda guy is simply slowing down his car, it is apparent from the tail lights. what is that about?

[sdasibmr]

Pls post drag race between Skoda Octavia Mk4 and any other similar 2 ltr turbo

[vikassharma-vlxn]

I would still go for Slavia 1.5 ..for better driving dynamics

[shivvashishthabhargava]

The Verna Turbo is just simply superb. Amazing stuff by Hyundai. Massive respect! ❤
It looks like it may divide our opinion when we talk about the looks of the car but it sure is an amazing car with that powerplant.

[SDBoral]

Imagine a drag race between Slavia, Verna, Virtus, City...that'll be pure eyecandy

[rganesh]

And there are some people who loudly comment that Polo 1.0 TSi will gape Verna 1.5 TGDi 😂😂😂
