Hyundai Verna New Variant Review: Upgrades, Pricing & Surprises! | Auto Live

he Hyundai Verna 2025 builds on its predecessor with a strong package of performance, features and safety. It offers two petrol engine options: a 1.5‑litre naturally aspirated (NA) unit (≈ 115 PS, 144 Nm) paired with a 6‑speed manual or CVT/IVT, and a more exciting 1.5‑litre turbo‑GDi engine (≈ 160 PS, 253 Nm) with a 7‑speed dual‑clutch (DCT). Inside, Verna impresses with its dual‑screen layout (10.25‑inch touchscreen + digital driver display), ambient lighting, ventilated & heated front seats, wireless charger, sunroof and Bose sound system in higher trims. Safety and driver assistance are strong suits: 6 airbags, electronic stability control, hill‑start assist, tyre‑pressure monitoring; ADAS Level‑2 features (adaptive cruise, lane‑keep, forward collision etc.) are included in premium variants. On the downside, base trims miss some comfort/safety features, and the new turbo‑DCT promises punch but demands smooth driving for best behavior in traffic. In all, the Verna 2025 offers excellent value for those who want premium features without venturing into luxury sedan territory.
