I’ve driven both Verna Diesel and City Petrol and the sheer enjoyment of driving City petrol cant be explained. You wont hear anything in the cabin below 3-4k RPM. But if you want to get naughty, try revving the city. Sounds like a sports car and goes like one.
I recently drove both the petrol variants and must tell you the engine and gearbox of the city is a gem. Also the interiors were more welcome in the city. However, it loses all its premiumness once it falls in a ditch! The feather touch ac controls are not really handy while driving. The verna is more fancy, and poses a serious competition to the city. It was difficult to chose between the two. However, I ended up chosing the bold, as I really wanted that engine.
I recently took a test drive of Honda city and Verna!! I was so much for city but post my drive i was just amazed by the comfort level, the feel of a luxury car, the Latest useful functions provided by Verna..
Are bhai...who said verna's steering is more confidence inspiring than city's. It doesn't come even near to city. Only thing verna excels is the performance and refinement in diesel engine and the quality of interiors. Petrol is always the trait of the honda city. Steering feedback and control is far better than verna.
Too many Honda City petrol fans in the comments box but I have used Honda petrol and now using Verna petrol and I am very much satisfied mainly because of in gear acceleration were Verna beats City and most of the time we won't drive at high RPM
Ashish is talking about the "H" logo of both the manufacturers.... Hyundai and Honda.. Italics H for Hyundai and Bold H for Honda... well.. after watching the review I think i'll go with Italics..
Very nice comparison and most of the points were covered by Ashish..The safety features were missed like airbags, ebd, etc. Safety is one of the most important factors to consider before buying a car. We need to check the ncap crash ratings since the roads in India are becoming very unsafe as days goes by. When you consider build quality still Vento holds on as a winner. If you can sit on it, you will get to know. Honda has been compromising on the build quality for long just to give us the best efficiency figures. The nvh levels are way off the charts. Verna, is an all new car. It looks bigger, and shares its design cues from the Elantra. Need to take a test drive and see how it is. Autoportal, I would request you to kindly compare the VW vento with the Verna as well. Thanks
Honda wins in terms of interior quality, engine smoothness and spacious back seats while Verna has cramped back seats and poor interior materials. And Verna wins in terms of styling, projector lamps. If I were to buy cars in these segments then the preference would be City>Vento>Rapid>Verna>Linea>Ciaz
I just purchased the Hyundai Verna 1.6 VTVT Petrol, and must truly say that the petrol engine except the fuel efficiency is a monster ....It gives that revving feel which you want from a car
Honda city is more worth buying in terms of comfort, looks, better visibility,more head room & rear space ,all electronic buttons, sharper alloy wheels design, & finally its classy as compared to verna with also a sub brand in itself
Hey, nice review! Been watching most of your recent videos, good improvement is happening. But please do talk about the safety features of the car, I see you mostly not touching that area. It is the job of auto journalists like you to make people aware of the importance and need for the safety features. And us Indians are way back in keeping or following these safety standards, if auto channels like yours always bring it up it will dig in the minds of common car enthusiasts and they would always keep in mind when checking the specs of a car, slowly the car companies will understand the India consumers are skeptical about it and they may make it a standard in every range of vehicles If someone is gonna buy a car anyway they gonna spend some lakhs of Rupees, so why don't stretch it a 30 to 50k more and get in those good safety features. So please emphasise that point in all your reviews.
Well, overall these two are really good at their level. But, if I had these two choices, I would go with City as it's a bit more value for money and Honda customers have a better after-sales experience .Yes! It's parts are also not too hard on the wallet compared to the Hyundai!
I don't trust u anymore ... The way u have compared nexon and brezza that was really unexpected from u .. and u have disabled the comments that shows what u r trying to do
Hyundai verna really looks stylish and agressive one thr desighn rellay looks like a copy of jaguar honda city has a old desing so i prefer all to buy hyundai verna which has high power
Hello sir... My choice is up for a petrol engine.... Will the Verna 1.6 Petrol do the job??? Or the i vtec on the City is a compulsion ??? please reply sir
Surprised that no reviews mention that Verna has Android Auto / Apple car play which in itself is a HUGE plus point in the infotainment area. Built in navigations in most cars are utterly useless, but with Android Auto, you get Google maps navigation which even gives you live traffic info. Then you have whatsapp integration, Google play music / Spotify and so on.
What would you recommend for me, I am not a daily driver, might drive 5000KM a year. I'd prefer ride comfort, silent engine and average fuel economy. Hyundai or Honda for long term engine durability? And who has minimum maintenance costs? Thanks.
Is Verna heavier is weight than honda city? If I am driving at higher speeds will honda city shake a bit than Verna? Is Verna a better car for fast long drives e.g. Chandigarh to Delhi?
Those tiny Features won't make a difference.The City on space, Boot,Interior quality and Premium feel is incomparable... The look of the City talks about it's class and Verna looks more a Kid on the looks front, it's good though
Which one would you recommend for Highway Rides??? And 70k to 1 lakh kms per year of travelling.? Which is is comfortable and Good as a drivers car? Fun to drive car?
After watching many reviews in 2015 we bought Diesel Honda City...but no one then & even now reviewed headlights... Honda City is partially blind at nights... Now only in topend they provide LED.. On highways it's very hard to drive above 90kmph as the cattle/parked vehicles are not visible.. I'll say Tata Vista headlights were far better than Honda City's headlights. Please do review night time visibility of the cars..
I wanna go for petrol. I've test drived both. Both are identical in terms of features. And i am researching both since last month. But couldn't figure out, what to final, city or verna?? Please, help me out.
@@KARAN183MUNJAL I drive a manual. Still if you are an enthusiast, diesel is what you should go for irrespective of the mode of transmission. If you prefer a petrol auto, go for the City.
in petrol city and in diesel Verna...
Yes.. in petrol City is the car but in Diesel Verna is the best.. City diesel is no match here!
Reason???
Reason bhai chala ke dekh lo jawab mil jayega
Diesel cars are nay be a problem in future
Rightly said
I’ve driven both Verna Diesel and City Petrol and the sheer enjoyment of driving City petrol cant be explained. You wont hear anything in the cabin below 3-4k RPM. But if you want to get naughty, try revving the city. Sounds like a sports car and goes like one.

*Bold and Italics is for the logo of Honda and Hyundai !!*
DIESAL: verna
PETROL: city
problem solved
Rear leg room is a huge difference between the Verna and City.
Honestly, the verna is enough in legroom. The city has more legroom but it is useless room
Yes the leg room in verna is sufficient but who want more roomy than the city also provides that
If i pay 15 lakh for a sedan, i want more room at the rear seats.
Yes thats y city is better in this term

Use both cars for 5 years....Honda City still performs cool.....refinement of Hyundai will ran away
I prefer the HONDA CITY!!!!👍👍👍👌👌
King Is Always King The Best Is Honda City
Too many Honda City petrol fans in the comments box but I have used Honda petrol and now using Verna petrol and I am very much satisfied mainly because of in gear acceleration were Verna beats City and most of the time we won't drive at high RPM
Any time.
City is the best it has more legroom more boot space everything touch controls 3 passengers can sit in comfort
Ashish is talking about the "H" logo of both the manufacturers.... Hyundai and Honda.. Italics H for Hyundai and Bold H for Honda... well.. after watching the review I think i'll go with Italics..
Well done. :-)
This is well said
Its not H for hyundai.it symbolis a dealer and a seller shacking their hands
One individual is a company representative and the other is a satisfied customer. Courtesy Wikipedia
Honda City is best car but grounds clear not good and paring senser not available and overpriced and Hyundai Verna very stylish car

Very good. One of the first in the game to make a comparison of these cars.
finally the bottle got upgraded :P
I just purchased the Hyundai Verna 1.6 VTVT Petrol, and must truly say that the petrol engine except the fuel efficiency is a monster ....It gives that revving feel which you want from a car
Something called RELIABILITY even after 100k miles for which one car is known for,is conviniently missed by the reviewer???
New verna is good but feels little cramped for a car at that price....
Akshat Sharma 14 lac is a hefty amount maybe you're millionaire
But city petrol top model is around 15 lakhs onroad, verna petrol around 13 lakhs
Is the city priced aggressively???i don't even have diesel automatic just because of the high cost....
City is way more comfortable than the next gen verna
Your English is so fluent. Loved this video because of your fluent English
Honda city is more worth buying in terms of comfort, looks, better visibility,more head room & rear space ,all electronic buttons, sharper alloy wheels design, & finally its classy as compared to verna with also a sub brand in itself
Comfort for honda city???😁😂😂😂😂😂Nice joke👌

the best car is city it is drivers car and the space inside is awesome
Nothing can beat the king and thats city
Honda.city.car.every.very.best
exactly......
Haha....The koreans already did!!!!verna beats city.....
Yes
Honda =best in front ,best interior ,best spacious back seats, best mileage and overall. For a perfect family car and for driver the CITY
Well, overall these two are really good at their level. But, if I had these two choices, I would go with City as it's a bit more value for money and Honda customers have a better after-sales experience .Yes! It's parts are also not too hard on the wallet compared to the Hyundai!
I don't trust u anymore ... The way u have compared nexon and brezza that was really unexpected from u .. and u have disabled the comments that shows what u r trying to do
So according to u is Nexon better or Brezza?
Nexon is far better than brezza.. Period!!
East or West city petrol is best...
Was waiting for this comparison. A big fan of your review 👌
Amith SunilKumar uy
Thank you autoportal i have been waiting for this comparission for a long time😊😊😊✌👍
Hyundai verna really looks stylish and agressive one thr desighn rellay looks like a copy of jaguar honda city has a old desing so i prefer all to buy hyundai verna which has high power
Hi, could you suggest manual or automatic is best to go for in diesel engine ?
Hello sir... My choice is up for a petrol engine.... Will the Verna 1.6 Petrol do the job??? Or the i vtec on the City is a compulsion ??? please reply sir
Sir which car should I buy is it the varna, or City, or yaris???plz tell me.

Hello Ashish, what is the mileage in city trafic for both new verna and city?
Does the new verna get automatic wipers in top end model??
Is the petrol engine of new verna at par with honda city’s petrol engine??
What will be the resale value if they are sold after 5 years?
City only Stands only by the Name... Bur verna speaks with the performance, Look, style & Comfort...VERNA Real Winner either Petrol r Diesel..
prasanna v
Not only CITY stands by the name .It is always the real winner . Verna cant stand near CITY 🔥🔥🔥. IVTEC is the best
Verna is hands down the best car in this segment!
If possible please compare Honda Jazz and Honda WRV. As both cars shares same engines which one is better buy?
Sir, For a 6'3" tall driver (lean built) which would be better only in terms of comfort and road visibility factors.
Sir please fill my mind with honda city diesel engine performance..Please..Is it good to buy diesel honda city....
Ashish Sir which one has better Performance in Petrol Automatic?
Also Which One Gives More Mileage in Petrol Automatic?
Gaadi se jyada me aapka review dekhta hun..simply flawless and awesome review karte hain aap..
Is there is reverse camera or front camera in this car??..please reply
A very necessary video this 1.nd very well done.good job ashish bro.
What would you recommend for me, I am not a daily driver, might drive 5000KM a year. I'd prefer ride comfort, silent engine and average fuel economy. Hyundai or Honda for long term engine durability? And who has minimum maintenance costs?
Thanks.
In my opinion, you should get Verna diesel. It drives smoothly and requires less maintenance cost🙂.
Hi - Thanks for the informative video. Could you please advise actual fuel efficiency of Verna 1.6 Diesel Automatic
City for space and verna for features!
City is more fuel efficient 👍
abhishek gupta buddy , if u r using ,plz the tell the variant and mileage
Bt its fuel tabk is 5 litres lesser then Verna...To baat almost equal padh jaati hai
But you must be careful on the throttle..... it's like giving you lambo and drive within 30kmph....
Which one is a better performer- City petrol or Verna diesel?
Hello sir.
I am confused which car is better verna sx (o) vs city vx Mt in petrol.
Another proper review from you sir.
Is there any chance that, Maruti Suzuki ciaz will get a bigger motor???
It feels a bit under powered with 1.3 lit. Diesel...
Bold is strong and practical and italic is flashy and fancu
Please suggest me between Verna Vs Rapid 2018.
Is Verna heavier is weight than honda city? If I am driving at higher speeds will honda city shake a bit than Verna? Is Verna a better car for fast long drives e.g. Chandigarh to Delhi?
Which one I should buy?
Reply me
Which car do you have
Please let us know more about the Hyundai Verna's mid variant front seats comfort.
Honda city petrol or hyundai verna petrol in terms of overall performance,fratures and drivablity?
Please suggest which one is the best package to buy...
VERNA SX VTVT OR CITY VX IVTEC
Verna sxo vtvt very best
Honda City always king of sedan .
Ghantaa
East or West verna is and always be best
I have a Honda City SX modle and my friend had Verna EX modle . He also like my car Honda City
gul fatima in hyundai sx model comes not in Honda city. I might have city zx variant bro☺️☺️
Petrol manual/automatic - Honda city
Diesel manual- verna
Diesel automatic - rapid
WHICH SHOULD WE BUY FOR IN PETROL
Someone who follows F1 will know how good is Honda's engine 😆😆
Ask Alonso for a review
Rishab Tripathy imagine what would he say😁😁
Hahah nice one bro
Hahaa
They would also know how is Hyundai in this department
ivtec really rocks.
DAT sound rocks
Waiting period of 1.6 vtvt petrol in mysore?
What about the segment first paddle shifters in the City!? I think this feature trumps over the ventilated seats in the Verna.
What is the introductory color name of this honda city?
Which one maintenance is expensive?
honda city is always first choice for me ❤
Those tiny Features won't make a difference.The City on space, Boot,Interior quality and Premium feel is incomparable...
The look of the City talks about it's class and Verna looks more a Kid on the looks front, it's good though
Which car is better in terms of exterior build quality
Above all the disscussions....
Honda City pips hyundai verna...
honda City for me !!!
my height for reference is 5 feet 10” 😂😂
Car World thats only 2 inches to 6 ft. What is funny about it?
He thought it will go upto 5feet 99😂😂😂
Which one would you recommend for Highway Rides??? And 70k to 1 lakh kms per year of travelling.? Which is is comfortable and Good as a drivers car? Fun to drive car?
sir I am confused between city diesel and verna diesel
After watching many reviews in 2015 we bought Diesel Honda City...but no one then & even now reviewed headlights...
Honda City is partially blind at nights... Now only in topend they provide LED..
On highways it's very hard to drive above 90kmph as the cattle/parked vehicles are not visible..
I'll say Tata Vista headlights were far better than Honda City's headlights.
Please do review night time visibility of the cars..
Thanks for posting this review.
I always love your reviews and u r great
Italic H diesel.. good review as always.. 👍
Your review's are always awesome
I wanna go for petrol.
I've test drived both. Both are identical in terms of features. And i am researching both since last month. But couldn't figure out, what to final, city or verna??
Please, help me out.
Absolutely City ivtec
True, Verna diesel is the best driver's car!
Sandesh R check vento
Atul Agarwal thanks.. still the manual verna is a better bet, take a test drive of manual verna and see the difference
Sandesh R yes you should also check out vw vento it is also a nice car
I used to be a Hyundai hater because their cars handled like boats. But now I am using a new Verna Diesel AT, and it is indeed a driver's car.
Sandesh R verna is far good car than city
Ashish is back
no one can beat city
What u know about city let me know then I will clear ur dobut about city
@@susheelranahandola1425 city is best
I've noticed that you haven't made a review of the skoda octavia...
Jack J this channel is restricted to Skoda reviews
Autoportal only reviews maruti cars... And their competitors.. So no space for octavia
My point of view is exactly reflected in this video. I am now a happy owner of the Next Gen Hyundai Verna 😍
Tejas dhaliwal Siena brown
We booked fiery red !! Man I’m so happy ! 😁
@@JerinBrunel How different are the petrol and diesel automatic variants?
@@KARAN183MUNJAL I drive a manual. Still if you are an enthusiast, diesel is what you should go for irrespective of the mode of transmission. If you prefer a petrol auto, go for the City.
Does the new Verna have better driving dynamics and stability compared to Vento? Does it have ESP?
Hahaha..no...no one can compare driving dynamics of vento..or rapid
Is something VW fan boys have you believe, overhyped
Thanks for this very nicely done review and comparison that is very helpful. Nice and professional.
Just a recommendation - show us the mileage of the car at the time of test drive.
I'll definitely buy Hyundai Verna 1.6 CRDi SX(O)
