The Verts is a classic German with its classy design, while its crisp design has its own fan following. This car is a proper sedan car with its premium looks. Although it looks a bit long.

Quality and cabin space

Each sedan feels premium in its own way. Verts doors exude a sense of sturdiness. While the interiors are again present with a clean and simple look. Special attention has been given to its layer. It has a large touchscreen with touch controls. The look of the City is more conservative while the dash gets soft touch bits. The screen given in City is small.

The cabin of the new Verna is much different and better than the old one with a new look.

The rear seat of the Verts, on the other hand, is comfortable for two passengers and is quite spacious, giving you a good view of the outside. The new Verna matches up with its rivals here too due to the spacious rear seat. Although the entry and exit are slightly less in this. Although there is good space for the things inside.

Driving experience

All three cars are petrol only, with the Honda City coming with a 1.5l petrol and a strong hybrid variant. While Volkswagen Virtus also offers turbo petrol with its 1.0l and 1.5l turbo unit range. Hyundai then offers its Verna with a 1.5L turbo petrol and a 1.5L naturally aspirated unit like the City. In which 1.0l Virtus, 1.5l City Petrol and Verna Petrol are value for money. The City with its 1.5l engine is always ready to drive and remains a fun car to drive even in manual variant form. Because when you push its rev limit, it makes it feel very smooth. Hence the entire driving feels like a comfort zone. There is a bit of noise in the cabin, but the suspension is very quiet. Which have been tuned quite easily. You can enjoy more on the manual, but a lot of focus has been put on making the driving area comfortable. So the driver who drives it will also like it a lot. The Verna with its standard 1.5l petrol engine is less noisy, while the CVT automatic is also very nice. Which has been tuned very well to run at low speeds in the city. Due to the lack of punch of turbo, the CVT adapts it well, along with it, drive modes have also been given in it. Whereas, the biggest change has been made by improving its ride quality. Its direct steering matches the handling in the city, which is quite impressive. However, the Verts with its 1.0l petrol with tremendous power delivery remains the driver’s car here. Its response and torque converter automatic shows great performance. Apart from this, its ground clearance is also amazing and what to say about the steering.

On the other hand, the Verts is a driver’s favorite car with its awesome pickup. Otherwise, it is present with its long feature list. All these sedans give tough competition to the SUV segment in this price range.
