Honda City 2023-26 Vs Hyundai Verna (2023-26) FAQs

The Honda City in India is powered by a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine producing around 119 bhp at 6600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. Transmission options are a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic.

The Honda City delivers an ARAI-claimed mileage of about 17.8 kmpl with the manual, and 18.4 kmpl with the CVT in petrol versions.

Honda City measures approximately 4.583 m × 1.748 m × 1.489 m ‒ that’s about 15.04 ft × 5.73 ft × 4.88 ft. The wheelbase is 2.600 m. These dimensions give it a spacious cabin for a sedan in its class.

Boot space in the Honda City is 506 litres. It seats five people across two rows. The interior is roomy, especially at the rear seats, because of the long wheelbase. You can fit 3 full-size suitcases (around 70–75 litres each) and still have space for 2 cabin bags on top. For a family road trip, that means luggage for 4–5 adults for a week without feeling cramped.

The Hyundai Verna ex-showroom price starts at about ₹11.07 lakh for the base EX petrol MT variant and goes up to ₹17.58 lakh for the top SX (O) 1.5 Turbo Petrol DCT Dual Tone variant.

The Verna comes with petrol engine options of 1497 cc (1.5 L) and 1482 cc in certain variants. It offers both manual and automatic transmissions including CVT, IVT or DCT depending on the variant. Mileage (ARAI claimed) is around 18.6-20.6 kmpl for the petrol versions.

Hyundai Verna measures approximately 4,535 mm in length, 1,765 mm in width and has a wheelbase of about 2,670 mm. Boot space is 528 litres, which is among the largest in its sedan class. Ground clearance is 170 mm. Fuel tank capacity is around 45 litres.

Verna has a strong safety kit: six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, rear parking sensors and camera, vehicle stability management (VSM). In its SX 1.5 Petrol MT variant and others, there are also features like ISOFIX child seat anchors.

Buy Verna if you want a dependable mid-size sedan with comfort, premium features, big boot, powerful options (turbo / DCT), and you do a lot of highway driving. It’s also good for semi-luxury feel without going to high luxury brands. Avoid Verna if most of your driving is very stop-start city traffic and you need minimal maintenance + fuel cost, or if you want something very compact.

The “Tubelight Verna” meme comes from people joking about the continuous or stretched LED light bar in the front. Some love the modern look, others tease it as something that looks like a glowing fluorescent tube

Assuming petrol price = ₹102 per litre and claimed mileage ~ 20 kmpl, running cost is: 102÷20≈₹5.10 per km In city traffic real world, if mileage drops to ~12–14 kmpl, cost can go up to ₹7.30-₹8.50 per km depending on variant and driving style.

The latest generation Verna (with its LED light bar rear, updated design, etc.) was launched around March 2023.
