The Hyundai Verna demonstrated strong performance in the Global NCAP crash test, earning a total of 28.18 points out of a possible 34 in adult occupant protection. However, the test identified the bodyshell as unstable and incapable of withstanding further loadings.

In side-impact testing, the Verna offered good protection for the head, pelvis, and abdomen, with adequate chest protection. When subjected to the side pole impact test, the Verna received an 'OK' rating.
