Hyundai Verna Gets Costlier Than Before But Still Cheaper Than Honda City

Prices of the HyundaiVerna facelift start at Rs. 9.30 lakh, which makes it Rs 1.13 lakh costlier than before but still a lot cheaper than the Honda City

Prics of the Honda City start at rather steep Rs. 9.91 lakhs. Hyundai will retail the Verna in 5 variants, S, S+, SX, SX(O), and SX(O) Turbo, namely. Hyundai is accepting booking via the website for the Verna facelift against a sum of Rs. 25,000, while the deliveries will begin shortly after the lockdown is pulled-off.

Hyundai has cleverly planned the trim levels with the Verna facelift. The entry-level petrol variant is named as ‘S’, while the entry-level diesel variant is the ‘S+’. Compared to the 1.5 petrol S, which costs Rs 9.30 lakh, the 1.5 diesel S+ costs a whopping Rs 1.35 lakh more at Rs 10.65 lakh. However, the next petrol trim in the City's lineup, the V MT, costs almost the same at Rs 10.70 lakh. So, basically, you can get yourself the most affordable trim of the Venue Diesel for the price of the second trim in the City's lineup. 

The SX trim of the Hyundai Verna petrol costs Rs 10.70 lakh, which is the same as the base trim of the City Petrol. Even if talk about the top-end variants, the Verna Turbo, at Rs 13.99 lakh, is much cheaper than City's top-spec petrol variant (Rs 14.31 lakh). However, the Verna SX(O) AT Diesel, at Rs 15.09 lakh, is costlier than the top-end diesel version (Rs 14.21 lakh) of the Honda City. However, you get many more features, including an automatic transmissio. There's even a power advantage of 15 PS. Hence, the Verna is clearly a better value proposition than the City.
