If you follow the car space then you might probably know that the sedan space is again a sizzling battleground. While compact SUVs are reigning like anything, this forgotten segment has again picked up the pace. In the run-up here, Hyundai Verna 2023 made its global debut. With a few tricks up its sleeves, it gives the competition a run for its money. One such contender is the Volkswagen Virtus. Even though it is a tough rival, there are certain things that it misses out on.
Let us quickly look at the 5 things that Hyundai Verna gets over the Virtus.
1. Front Parking Sensors
While both cars have a reverse parking camera with sensors, the Verna trumps this area with front parking sensors working for it. These sensors work exactly like the rear ones, just that they alert you when something gets too close to the front of the vehicle. In sedans, where it is generally not possible to see the bonnet's end, these are definitely a blessing.
2. ADAS On The Hyundai Verna 2023
The Verna in 2023 brings with it the autonomous driving assistance system for a more safe and more techy driving experience. Once a feature only given on premium high-end cars, this one is now fast grasping the more affordable segments as well. The Virtus misses out on this one.
3. Rear Disc Brakes
The Volkswagen Virtus sports disc brake set up on the front wheel and drum on its rear. Whereas the Hyundai Verna 2023 comes with all 4 wheels with Disc brakes. This inspires more confident braking at high speeds and is also more efficient than the drums.
4. Heated Front Seats On The Hyundai Verna 2023
Ventilated seats are something that both these competing sedans boast of. But why does it still makes it to this list of omissions on the part of Virtus? Well! When both of them do provide a cooling function, it is the Verna that also heats them up. Winter cold and a cold leather seat? Verna now takes care of it too.
5. Drive Modes
The new Verna offers a drive mode selection that changes the responsiveness of the engine and transmission depending on the mode selected. The Verna offers the option to choose from Eco, City, and Sport modes whereas the Virtus doesnt offer any of these modifications to the driver. If you feel sporty on some days and a mileage-seeking driver on the next, these modes are for you.
VERDICT- Both of these sedans are solid performers and an overall package. But, there are always a few things missing between any two comparisons. While Virtus is a strong car, the Verna 2023 does bring some extra tricks up its sleeves. But this doesn't feel right. Right? Stay tuned as we bring out 5 things that the Volkswagen Virtus gets that the Verna doesn't.
