June 5, 2023
The Hyundai Verna 1.5 MPI is a petrol-powered sedan that offers a practical and feature-rich package for those looking for a comfortable and stylish car. It is powered by a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 113 horsepower and 144 newton-meters of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
The Verna 1.5 MPI is available in three variants: EX, SX, and SX(O). Prices start at ?10,97,000 and go up to ?16,20,000.
Exterior
The Verna 1.5 MPI has a sharp and stylish exterior design. The front-end is a bit controversial, but the Fastback profile with sloping roofline and the angular teal sporting Sleek connected tail lights are the angles you will find more attractive and reminds me of the Audi A7 if you will. The only difference in the MPI version is you get these neatly finished 16 inch dual tone alloy wheels or Verna 1.5 turbo 16 inch all black alloy wheels.
Interior
The interior of the Verna 1.5 MPI is spacious and comfortable. The dual tone treatment black on the top and Beach seat covers quite nice quite elegant and quite practical as well. Creature Comforts is one department where the Hyundai Verna dominates in typical Hyundai fashion after all it's the biggest differentiator so the Verna MPI petrol iteration gets a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated petrol engine and it belts out around 113 brake horsepower at 6300 RPM and 144 newton meters of peak talk at around 4500 RPM and those are segment best power figures towards the low end you get a very meaty talk yes the talk is strong at the low end so in city traffic to navigate through your traffic it feels strong and you have got ample resolver part there mid-range you have got a bit lag at around 3700 RPM but top end makes up for it so you get a second win after 47 4800 RPM and yes the car pulls strongly there for the most part the engine feels quite sophisticated in fact mile bunching is quite easy and relaxing with this Powertrain now when you will compare it to the turbo variant of course it's not as eager or as performance oriented because that has got pretty much double power figures so to say but yes as far as naturally aspirated engine are concerned you won't complain access so that's a very good aspect of the Hyundai Verna also this engine feels very smooth and more refined than the turbo yes it's slightly more refined and is very silent so fatigue levels are quite in check that's again a big plus for this engine on the highway um when you're cruising if you want to cruise in a very relaxed manner I think this is the car you should go for because also it delivers quite good fuel economy figures in city I have been getting around 14 kilometers per liter in city traffic and that's Delhi City traffic that's getting chaotic day by day and that's still impressive for me.
