What model is the Beijing Hyundai Verna?
2 Answers
Beijing Hyundai Verna is an entry-level compact car. This model excels in the following aspects: 1. Exterior design. The front fascia of the Hyundai Verna retains strong family DNA, particularly in the headlight design. The front grille adopts a more sporty styling. Similar to the front, the rear features two sleek, extensively stretched taillights that give the rear a more compact appearance. The small spoiler on the upper rear balances the vehicle's visual weight distribution and represents a trendy design element. 2. Powertrain. The Verna is equipped with Hyundai's new-generation 1.4L and 1.6L engines, paired with either 5MT or 4AT transmissions. The 1.4L engine delivers maximum power of 78.7kW at 6,300rpm and peak torque of 135.4Nm at 5,000rpm - performance figures approaching those of 1.6L engines, making it more than adequate for urban driving. The 1.6L engine demonstrates even better performance in the Verna.
The Beijing Hyundai Verna is a compact family sedan, which I've driven several times and found particularly suitable for urban commuting. It's essentially a rebadged version of the Hyundai Accent, produced and sold in China by Beijing Hyundai for many years. Initially targeted at young buyers and those on a budget, it features a compact yet stylish design, such as the Hyundai family-style front grille, giving it a spirited overall appearance. The engine options typically include a 1.4L or 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, which, while not particularly powerful, offers excellent fuel efficiency, averaging around 6L per 100 kilometers. The interior space is adequate for a family of three, with a trunk capacity of about 400L, enough for several suitcases. I think its biggest selling point is its high cost-performance ratio, with a starting price of around 100,000 yuan for a new car, slightly cheaper than the Toyota Vios in the same class, and maintenance parts are also easy to find and affordable. The downsides are the somewhat plain interior with a plastic feel and average sound insulation, with noticeable wind noise at high speeds. Overall, as an entry-level car, it's reliable and durable, with few issues even after several years of use.
