2 Answers
The differences between Verna and Accent are: 1. Different transmissions: Verna is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission; Accent is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. 2. Different power: Verna is powered by a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine; Accent is powered by a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine. 3. Different body dimensions: Verna has a body length, width, and height of 4405mm, 1720mm, and 1455mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2600mm; Accent has a body length, width, and height of 4300mm, 1705mm, and 1460mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2570mm.
As an experienced driver who has owned both the Verna and the new Verna, the differences between the two are quite noticeable. The Verna's chassis tuning is on the stiffer side, making bumps over speed bumps quite jarring; the new Verna, on the other hand, offers a much more comfortable ride with its suspension that strikes a good balance between soft and firm. The Verna's interior has a heavy plastic feel, and after three years of driving, it developed rattles everywhere; the new Verna uses more solid materials, with finer panel gaps. The trunk space in the new Verna is about two fingers wider, enough to fit an extra suitcase. Most importantly, in terms of fuel consumption, my Verna averaged 6.9L/100km, while the new Verna now consistently stays around 5.8L/100km, saving me the cost of two breakfasts each month. Both have a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, but the new Verna's throttle response is noticeably more responsive.
