Top Gear’s September 2006 has given its readers a sneak peek on the new Hyundai Verna. Although a detailed road test is what it will take to really know the Verna inside out, Top Gear is pretty impressed with what they saw, albeit not in great detail. Read on the know what seem to be the positives on this car.



PROS:

1. The new Hyundai Verna has a very contemporary and updated look. Although it does share some of its looks with the Accent, there is a certain fresh feel to it.
2. The front elevation of the car has winged headlamps and embedded indicator lamps. Everything about the front from the grille to the Hyundai logo is a well-designed amalgamation.
3. The best part about the interiors is the simple look rendered to the center console. The switchgear is ergonomically designed, and is pleasing to the eyes too.
4. Most importantly, the Verna has oodles of space and comfort, sometimes even more than other contemporary cars of the same segment known for their abundant space.
5. The 1.6 l engine is very light and efficient thus enhancing performance of the car. The Verna is also very powerful.
6. At first impression, the Verna certainly seems like the sort to make the competitors sit up in the night with anxiety.

CONS:

1. In the fiercely competitive market, the styling of the Verna isn’t very extraordinary. The design in very conservative to the cars of the same segment, thus making it seem very plain.
2. All-in-all, a car to keep a close watch on, in case it turns out to be your next car.
