4 things Hyundai Verna get that Honda City doesn’t

The sedan segment has been eaten up by the SUV segment. People are preferring SUVs over sedans to tackle bad roads and enjoy the high seating position. Still, the Honda City rakes in good numbers compared to other competition cars. Honda has kept on improving it over its generations. The Hyundai Verna is a car that competes with the Verna. The Verna is also quite a competent product but doesn’t match the City in sales. In today’s article, we will see four things that make Hyundai Verna better when compared to the Honda City (Hyundai Verna vs Honda City). 

Diesel automatic

It is quite surprising that Honda doesn’t offer an automatic gearbox on the diesel engine of the City. Even the Honda Amaze with the same diesel engine gets an automatic gearbox. People are looking to buy automatic gearboxes for ease of use. The Verna comes with an automatic gearbox with its diesel engine. So, people looking for a diesel engine with ease of use should consider the Verna over the City.

Hyundai Verna vs Honda City – Ventilated seats

Ventilated seats are a must-have feature in our hot & humid climate. These ventilated seats offer great comfort on long drives. Verna gets ventilated seats in its top SX (O) variant.  The City sadly misses out on ventilated seats.

Turbocharged petrol engine + DCT

The Honda City comes with a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine capable of producing 119bhp & 145Nm of torque. Though the engine is quite refined and reliable, the Honda City lacks a turbo petrol option to give that explosive performance. Almost all cars in India are coming with turbo engines to enhance performance. The Verna comes with a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine capable of 118bhp & 171Nm of torque. The Verna also comes with a fast-shifting DCT gearbox, enhancing its performance even further. 

Hyundai Verna vs Honda City – Cheaper to maintain

Maintenance wise, the Hyundai Verna will be cheaper than the Honda City in the long run. The Honda City maintenance gets quite expensive as the car gets older. For comparison, in five years, the City service cost will be over Rs 60,000, while for the same duration, the Verna service cost will be around Rs 20,000. This is because Honda service and parts are considerably more expensive than Hyundai service and parts.
