The NA petrol is smooth and adequate in city, but feels flat and underpowered when fully loaded on the highway. You have to rev it hard to make quick overtakes.

Loving my Hyundai Verna petrol. The engine is exceptionally refined and quiet at idle, sometimes I have to check the tachometer to see if it is running. The ride is soft and comfortable.

Very practical family car. Cabin space is class-leading, dashboard layout is clean, and the panoramic sunroof makes the interior feel huge. Service costs are predictable too.

Overall a solid packages, but the touchscreen infotainment is prone to random freezes. The cabin is spacious, but the middle rear seat is too narrow and firm for long journeys.
