Buying Used Hyundai Verna? Here Are Some Tips To Help You Out

The Hyundai Verna is one of the best buys if you’re looking for a new-ish pick in the used car market. The current third-generation Verna was launched in August 2017 with prices starting just under Rs 8 lakh and went up to Rs 12.61 lakh, ex-showroom. It came with a choice of 1 diesel and 2 petrol engines. The current generation Verna was a marked improvement over its predecessor in ride and handling, especially at highway speeds in which it was far more composed. Hyundais are really reliable and buying one used can be a smart pick, here are a few tips you should keep in mind when buying used Hyundai Verna.

Clutch wear

The manual gearbox models of the Hyundai Verna are prone to early clutch wear. Do remember to get the clutch and pressure plate inspected before buying one.

AC system

There have been a few problems reported with Verna’s AC system, particularly with the thermistor and the compressor unit. When checking out a used model, ensure that the AC is cooling the cabin quickly and effectively.

EPS motor

A few owners have faced niggles with the power steering motor of the Hyundai Verna. When checking for one in the used car space, notice if the steering feels too heavy and check for an EPS warning light in the instrument cluster.

Honorary Mention

The Hyundai Verna doesn’t offer the best rear seating experience in its segment because of its low seating position, lack of headroom and knee room compared to its rivals the Maruti Ciaz and Honda City. If you prefer to be chauffeur-driven, then you should maybe look at other options.

Suitable Price

Since the current Hyundai Verna is not a particularly old model, used car prices between Rs 8-10 lakh represents decent value. The Verna is not a very popular model in the used market so you can haggle for a better price. Even though it is not a high selling model in the used car space, maintaining a Hyundai Verna is quite easy due to the South Korean automaker’s wide range of authorized service centre and spares and service cost on par with its rivals. As mentioned earlier in this article, the Hyundai Verna comes with a choice of 1 diesel and 2 petrol engines. The 1.6-litre diesel produces 130 PS/260 Nm of peak figures while the 1.6-litre petrol churns out 125 PS/151 Nm of max figures. The smaller 1.4-litre petrol makes max figures of 100 PS/133 Nm.
