Hyundai Verna’s overall styling has always been sporty starting this generation. The DCT variant adds further sportiness to the car.

The all-black front grille, aggressive headlamps, fog lamps and a black front splitter make the car look awesome from the front. The sloping roofline of the Hyundai Verna gives it a coupe-like styling. The shark fin antenna, black rear diffuser and the new rear bumper design are surely a delight.

The Skoda Rapid is the oldest product in this segment, launched in 2011. The overall styling of the sedan is quite classic and appealing. The front look of the car is quite Skoda typical with Vento like side profile. The rear look of the car also has some tricks up its sleeve with a clear integrated spoiler and other elements. It comes with 116mm of ground clearance (Laden).

The Ciaz is also an ageing car in the Indian car market but still looks premium by today’s standards. This is the longest sedan in its segment, which is the strongest point of this car.

Exterior Styling: Yaris

Toyota has tried to make the Yaris quite aggressive-looking with tapering nose/hood and similar elements in the front. This is the only sedan in its segment which comes with 15-inch wheels, which makes the side profile of the car less aggressive.

The rear look of the car is quite different compared to other Toyota products.  The over-aggressive look of the front and under aggressive looks of the rear makes the design equation unbalanced for the Toyota Yaris. It comes with 175mm of ground clearance.
