THE ALL-NEW VERNA COMES LOADED WITH FEATURES AND EVEN DRIVES BETTER.

Sometimes, it takes a while to get a product working just right. But when you do get it right, it has the potential to make waves like never before. Hyundai’s Verna has been around for some time now but while it has always been a handsome car, there were always some chinks in its armour – the softly set up suspension from the previous-generation car, for example. But with the latest avatar, Hyundai seems to have pulled out all stops. The new Verna, ladies and gentlemen, is really quite impressive!

Let’s start off with the way it looks. The new Verna now uses the new K2 platform that the Elantra uses. So, this is in no way a rehash of the older car. It looks completely new. The car itself is now longer and wider. The front end is all new and gets a fresh grille and new headlight clusters that incorporate LED DRLs, cornering lights and a new projector fog lamp. It also gets new 16-inch, diamond-cut wheels and a new tail section. The tail uses an all-new, sportier bumper design and an Elantra-esque LED tail-light. The entire car has spent a lot of time in the aero room and as a result, the profile is very coupe-like and flowing. Overall, it is a great looking car even though one can complain that it looks too much like the other new Hyundais.

The insides too are new. And while the design itself takes after the family look, there is not a complaint that can be voiced about the quality of materials or the features that it comes with. The dual-tone colours give you a sense of space and the seats themselves offer adequate support. There is adequate space at the rear for the average Indian and Hyundai has redesigned the rear footwell to make room for rear passengers too.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE

Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
