A really great review @AutocarIndia. of course this is not your first comparison test review, but this is best of all. It's not just the great detailing of practical features, but their presentation that nails it. Use of compact but strong narrative and really amazing synchronized video clip presentation make it even beautiful. Overall 9/10.
The city is an all around better package I think. Not only from the luxury and mileage point of view, but when you want to rev it out it'll be the most fun too since it has a 4bhp disadvantage to the Verna but a solid 60 kgs lighter than it too. We all know Honda is fames for making some of the best petrol engines around.
No car in the segment can beat the city VTEC motor.... For the drivers seat as well as rear seat.. It's the city that wins.... Verna in nowhere in the league of handling and steering characteristics
One point which Toyota seems to have got right is providing AT from base trim onwards with 7 airbags Just take a look at current Delhi ex-showroom prices of these 3 cars which offer AT (lowest possible variant) and that might be big deciding factor for many people. Yaris (J AT) - 9.95 lacs Verna (Ex AT) - 10.55 lacs City (V AT) - 11.72 lacs Obviously if we consider VFM factor, Verna is best followed by City
Honda City is the best in segment 1.5 ivtec petrol engines are proven in world and Honda is the largest petrol engine manufacturers in World..even diesel 1.5 idtec also proven engine from Honda which delivers high fuel efficiency... Honda- fun to drive,easy to Handle,more reliable product,best in Aerodynamics and performance,less strain in long drive etc it's best in segment I love Honda for spacious and sleeky designs..
True Sujin Verna simply cannot put a smile on the face, it's just a deal breaker it matters more to the head than the heart💓. Next generation City will kill the entire segment for next 5 years...
GAUTHAM T Yeah Gats some are still looking for best engine (eg Ciaz). Some are still sorting out handling(eg Verna) and some doesn’t know how to make good looking cars(eg Yaris).Anyway rapid and Vento are not in the scene now...ha ha
honda city is simply an overpriced machine once again using its fanboys with the new facelift, verna rules in power and torque as always now with k2 platform handling is sweet i think it's time to get out of the shell and stop being a mere honda fanboy guys accept what you see verna offers best interior of the three
Yes, Toyota Yaris is uncomparable,when we practically assess our requirements and it's uses.Quality , Durability and Reliability of Toyota is unmatchable.
I like Hyundai's triage approach with power,design and features.....and its correctly laid out verna is the best,if u are looking for a car with these same trio..
One of the best detailed Review! Excellent job! All things perfectly covered. And thanks again for comparing the petrol manuals. Everybody is inclined towards diesel or automatic..but nothing can beat a naturally aspirated petrol manual for sheer driving pleasure.
Good review Gavin dsouza...Can you make review of the top end automatic versions of these cars along with VW vento tsi...Eagerly waiting for it ..Because I couldn't find any comparisons of VW vento tsi with city and verna
Point to be noted milord... Verna petrol mileage is actually better than what is stated in the video Thank God... an unbiased review... Verna actually is that good
Tejas dhaliwal ha bilkul yaris me diesel engine bhi add krna tha sales kuch to improve hoti lekin petrol engine ke saath vo city se compete kr rhi h aur sbko pta h city ka petrol engine kitna jabardast h
It's the only vehicle that cares to provide great safety. 7 standard airbags man! So now everyone can be assured of good and safe vehicle without having to pay for the top variant.
These cars are primarily meant for city's use. So it's more helpfully to see how they'd behave in city conditions... empty stretch behavior is not worthy compare
Honda city is a clear winner as it is an petrol engine comparison. I own an city petrol vx variant. It revs so hard that you wont feel any power lag. Even the back seat is comfortable. And it has an road presence of its own. It might be on a expensive side but its worth❤️ Fuel efficiency is also 👍. If you are thinking of buying petrol engine in this segment without any second thought go for city❤️
i go for city everything we have sunroof ac vents for city roads and verna is good for them who prefer long drive frequently and i don't feel yaris should have that much price
City still rules the Segment Broo. In fact, It is the ride quality which the Verna is best in, but the City gives us a Comprehensive deal. Thanks for the Test Review, it was really informative.
indeed Verna is the best among all three. I have driven all these cars and finally purchased the all new Verna and I am so satisfied by my decision. And also you can get a Top end Verna with all the features in the same price as the mid spec city or yaris which have way less features in comparison.
Verna looks sexy , super smooth gears clutch and engine makes it easy drive in heavy traffic...for highway drive Verna is horrible..honda city is mixed bag.. nothing great when you start driving honda city..it's yet another Maruti like driving performance and handling. Diesel city is horribly louder ..petrol ivtec is very good to drive and sounds good too.honda rear space is large and very comfy...i love sitting in Honda rear seat than any other car...... never driven Toyota Yaris and would never love to . It's more of taxi appeal..vento rapid is the car for driving lovers..turbo charged dsg is pleasure... service cost and maintenance one should look into...
Tats right also the market resale value of Toyota is more anytime than other cars.. I think Hyundai car s are not that smooth in handling while driving 120-140+ as well
In the family of even 5"10+ members, Verna makes 0 sense. The space and interiors feel same as Grand 10 then how the double price is justified? just by ventilated seats and smoothness of engine! I think not
Buy what you want!!! I bought a verna!!And i am happy with that. If you are buying a city then extend your budget and get an Elantra or Altis. Seriously u ll never regret .
A relatively unknown outside of Asia, South korean company beating 2 Japanese automobile giants!!!! Strange ...simply specs seems to win😇😇...what about core tech😇😇...
Bro, Hyundai, Samsung and LG are some of the prominent korean companies known worldwide... Please Dont under estimate the country as a whole. Hyundai is 3rd most company in ranking in terms of production volume in the world after toyota and volkswagen. Tin dabba suzuki is also japanese....
My pick is the C-i-T-Y mainly due to the engine, dynamics,space and looks! Germans are losing out to the Japanese and Korean and Italians went back to Italy 😂
You are an idiot . Insight this car in December and till now I have not found a single flaw in it and speaking of its rear space it's more than enough. By the way you could be too fat
I have city zx and verna sxo. I can say verna has sufficient space in the rear to accommodate a 6 ft tall guy!!! Not a really big issue!! But yes it could have been better if they provided 2-3 inches more space
Good review. But you should have incuded Automatic transmission. I want to buy Petrol Automatic. As drivers car, please suggest best among Yaris VX, Verna SX(O) and City ZX...Thanks
Planning to buy Yaris, but heard that they are planning to discontinue Yaris in India. In case if I go ahead and buy it, will parts become an issue in future. Please guide me.
Hai am planning to buy a petrol car in the range of 10 lakh. Can you suggest me? Am preferring varna and ciaz. Which one is good? And also milage comparison. Please assist. Thank you 😊
How is the yaaris when it comes to rear seat comfort over bad roads in the city? I have a slipped disc problem ..so looking for a car with the best ride comfort.
I want to buy a petrol automatic mid size sedan. I want a decent feature list. I'm going to be driving myself and therefore I need a good handler with a fair mileage and enough juice to keep me happy. Which one should I opt for?
What would you recommend for me, I am not a daily driver, might drive 5000KM a year. I'd prefer ride comfort, silent engine and average fuel economy. Hyundai or Honda for long term engine durability? And who has minimum maintenance costs? Thanks.
You can't go wrong with either. In ride comfort and silent cabin, verna is the winner. City can feel a bit stiff over bad roads. Back seat space is much better in the city, but back seat ride quality is better in the verna. Mileage is better in the honda city, but verna is cheaper. You can get the SX(O) with 6 airbags and ventilated seats for almost the same price as the City VX. Service cost will be almost similar. Honda city's service interval is 6 months while the Verna's service interval is 1 year like most other brands. So you'll have to give the car for service twice in a year in case of honda city. For ride comfort and ease of service ciaz is good. No one can beat the ciaz in fuel efficiency.
Petrol manual - Honda City
Diesel manual - Hyundai Verna
Petrol/Diesel Automatic - Skoda Rapid/VW Vento DSG
Verna is simply superb right from the first version till 2018 it's classy...😍😍
but toyota has suspension stabilizer and safety,, more better
citys crazy with fuel efficiency
Safety is the main point to buy a car so definitely a Toyota
if safety is your prime concern, go for skoda rapid or VW vento. both are rock solid, and is cheaper by 2 lakhs
@@basilabraham9628 vw and skoda? Nope never. All they do is break down. Toyota is the safest and most reliable among all cars.

Hyundai Verna, hands down the best in segment. Both the engines petrol and diesel are powerful. Specially the diesel, its the torque monster.
Diesel is really a rocke
Wat about sound
I will go with Honda City!! If you consider service frequency and ride, you'll get to know the best engine in the segment ever!
Toyota is a toyota
@@solicitor7793 I thought Toyota is a Honda
I’m a rare one here. I drive a Rapid Petrol and I absolutely love it. I wonder why everyone doesn’t love the 1.6MPI

Please Drive the new verna
You say so because you never hit the gas pedal on one of the TSI twins...
Hyundais are the monsters in the diesel segment. Beating every car in this segment, petrol and diesel both.
you have'nt rode new k2 platform verna now city is a joke
please drive the new verna
Wonderful comparo. You are so effortless in reviewing and the review feels very crisp😊

Honda is still the king of the segment nice review though .Very helpful for those who are confused in buying.Keep up

If you have driven city and verna.. i would choose verna... City lags power
gavin actually i watched almost every vlog but u are the best in autocar
If you buy Yaris you can use it for many years but if you choose Verna after one year it will start to damage
Ashafaque ali akram yes toyotas last for many kms
He meant to say Toyota runs million kilometres with out problema
Yes, Toyota Yaris is uncomparable,when we practically assess our requirements and it's uses.Quality , Durability and Reliability of Toyota is unmatchable.
Volkswagen vento is beast in this segment purely in driving dynamics handling n advance technology.
I like Hyundai's triage approach with power,design and features.....and its correctly laid out verna is the best,if u are looking for a car with these same trio..
Verna is best
Area of Interest haaa in your dreams
Satyadas C chup kar

Yaris is a much better deal
No matter what I will still go with Honda city it is the best.
Nice review. Exactly to the point explanation. Statistical data gives a clear picture about specifications. Keep it up
One of the best detailed Review! Excellent job! All things perfectly covered. And thanks again for comparing the petrol manuals. Everybody is inclined towards diesel or automatic..but nothing can beat a naturally aspirated petrol manual for sheer driving pleasure.
krisnaive I
Autocar is the best..!!! Keep going Gavin
I think verna feels less legroom for it's wide sitting area in the seat. While city has a narrow seat under so we feel it has more legroom
Verna is the best 🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻
Good review Gavin dsouza...Can you make review of the top end automatic versions of these cars along with VW vento tsi...Eagerly waiting for it ..Because I couldn't find any comparisons of VW vento tsi with city and verna
I love Honda City.!! 👌👍
Verna is best 💓💕👌😍
but toyota has suspension stabilizer and safety,
Point to be noted milord... Verna petrol mileage is actually better than what is stated in the video
Thank God... an unbiased review... Verna actually is that good
Yaris to abhi se outdated lagtii hai aur expensive bhi sabse zyada hai...fail hogi hai future me...aur fir iske price kam ho jaenge....
Tejas dhaliwal ha bilkul yaris me diesel engine bhi add krna tha sales kuch to improve hoti lekin petrol engine ke saath vo city se compete kr rhi h aur sbko pta h city ka petrol engine kitna jabardast h
@@OottamnaamrA 10lakh on road price?
Tune sahi bola tha bhai. Gandi waali fail gayi yaris. Only 250 units per month against ciaz 6000 units
It's the only vehicle that cares to provide great safety. 7 standard airbags man! So now everyone can be assured of good and safe vehicle without having to pay for the top variant.
Yaris has all four disk brakes, electronically adjustable driver seat, gesture control and many more features which Verna and city don't have.
These cars are primarily meant for city's use. So it's more helpfully to see how they'd behave in city conditions... empty stretch behavior is not worthy compare

How much fuel efficiency you are getting in Honda City?
Petrol manual. Petrol auto in city is plain pathetic. The TSI DSG is the best at petrol auto.
i go for city everything we have sunroof ac vents for city roads and verna is good for them who prefer long drive frequently and i don't feel yaris should have that much price
Verna is good with features otherwise city is best...who need features when you have monsterous engine like ivtec😈
have you ever driven verna petrol ?
as good as city is people don't realise how great verna petrol is.
@@clashott4372 Verna sxo turbo petrol or city VX / ZX?
That's how a review should be done....
Just woww review..🤩🤩
I like verna more than the other two
Go for Verna or City, both will give you peace of mind :)
Big Greetings from Saudi Arabia to the people in India ❤️
By the way Hyundai Verna has a different name in KSA which is Hyundai Accent.
Both are two different cars bro
@@email2nishanth Hyundai Verna is named as Hyundai Accent in KSA.
Verna = perfection 🔥
City still rules the Segment Broo. In fact, It is the ride quality which the Verna is best in, but the City gives us a Comprehensive deal. Thanks for the Test Review, it was really informative.
Nice balanced review. I liked the points brought out for each car. Just makes the wait for the new Ciaz engine a little sweeter. Till then!
Please carry out similar review for 2020 versions of the cars including Ciaz
Well said. No competition to mighty Verna
This is what i really needed
Thanks autocar india
GREAT comparison! Can we get one with the automatic diesel SUVs
Best bit about the review is keeping the looks of the car for the last. It's a highly subjective thing
Features: Verna
Safety: Yaris
Ride Quality: Yaris
Performance (Petrol): City
Performance (Diesel): Verna
Braking: Yaris
Cornering: Yaris
Seating: City
Looks: personal preference
Mileage: City
Value: Verna

Interior Quality: Verna
Please make a same video comparing compact sedans as Honda amaze has arrived in the market.....ASAP
indeed Verna is the best among all three. I have driven all these cars and finally purchased the all new Verna and I am so satisfied by my decision. And also you can get a Top end Verna with all the features in the same price as the mid spec city or yaris which have way less features in comparison.
Wonder why Indian auto reports are so much bogged and fussy about the refinement levels !!!
because that matters
So its clear,its another great.......Toyotaxi.. go slow, go far, go peaceful..
RIDERS GOT TALENT Dude! Where are the roads in India to drive fast ?
Lol if you have money why dont u buy yaris ? 😂 people who cant afford just speak trash
Craigs List By slow I mean acceleration buddy.. not top speed.. 😊
Sharan Prasanth My bikes cost more than these three cars combined. Forget about what I drive kid. 😊
The best opponent for Verna is rapid
Not a single car can beat Honda city in this segment..Queen of car is city..✌
Verna iz hands down the best car in this segment

No space in lamborgini and ferrari too. Lol
Buy what you want!!! I bought a verna!!And i am happy with that. If you are buying a city then extend your budget and get an Elantra or Altis. Seriously u ll never regret .
Petrol - manual, no comparison is required, it’s a cakewalk for city
Verna is best value for money.
RyAn FoRmals ya for 1 year it is value for money after tht is waste of money
Honda city lowest amount of features always . Not even rear parking sensor . And just 2 airbags
A relatively unknown outside of Asia, South korean company beating 2 Japanese automobile giants!!!! Strange ...simply specs seems to win😇😇...what about core tech😇😇...
tridib saikia All 3of them are well known worldwide

Tin dabba suzuki is also japanese....
Toyota is always Toyota now with 5 star safety ratings 👍🤗
You bought toyoto sad
In your next comparison video try to bring City ZX variant.
Sarthak Shewale If we compare automatics, we surely will, but you don't get the ZX with the petrol manual.
Verna would easily beat city as that would become a diesel comparison
Good comparison
I am confused about what one to buy , Yaris or Verna ? Mine in usually office home drive. Occasionally drive some 300 - 400 KM. Pls suggest.
Go for Verna petrol version!
It's good for daily use😀
Close your eyes..go for verna
Verna 2014 looked way sexier than Verna 4s and Verna 2018.
My pick is the C-i-T-Y mainly due to the engine, dynamics,space and looks!
Germans are losing out to the Japanese and Korean and Italians went back to Italy 😂
Very good review in detail.. which is better in diesel, Verna or City?
Verna is a smart looking among the lot. Yaris design is a bit let down was expecting more from Toyota the overall persona more appealing for a taxi
Verna has no rear seat space
Indian Petrolhead bhai sab kehne ki baate hai...more than sufficient hai
You are an idiot . Insight this car in December and till now I have not found a single flaw in it and speaking of its rear space it's more than enough. By the way you could be too fat
i don't understand where does the space went
I have city zx and verna sxo. I can say verna has sufficient space in the rear to accommodate a 6 ft tall guy!!! Not a really big issue!! But yes it could have been better if they provided 2-3 inches more space
On the build. The frames and panels are bigger in verna. The chassis is also thick.
Good review. But you should have incuded Automatic transmission. I want to buy Petrol Automatic. As drivers car, please suggest best among Yaris VX, Verna SX(O) and City ZX...Thanks
Very Honest review.... excellent
Planning to buy Yaris, but heard that they are planning to discontinue Yaris in India. In case if I go ahead and buy it, will parts become an issue in future. Please guide me.
This was only about the petrol variants guys... If u r looking for diesel the results will be different... (yaris not included)
Toyota has the best re-sale value in Indian market... That should say a lot about which car rules the roost!
Hai am planning to buy a petrol car in the range of 10 lakh. Can you suggest me?
Am preferring varna and ciaz. Which one is good? And also milage comparison. Please assist.
Thank you 😊
How is the yaaris when it comes to rear seat comfort over bad roads in the city? I have a slipped disc problem ..so looking for a car with the best ride comfort.
I still feel that the vento n rapid in dsg form are much better than all three cars
ATHARVA Dalvi Absolutely!
Yes but the cars are too outdated and badly need a new design.
Please include night visibility
I want to buy a petrol automatic mid size sedan. I want a decent feature list. I'm going to be driving myself and therefore I need a good handler with a fair mileage and enough juice to keep me happy. Which one should I opt for?
Red colour verna would have done justice to the looks
It's simple. I would choose Honda city for petrol. Verna for Diesel.
You must last longer to satisfy. So yaris is the winner
All this cars are reliable, toyota is not the only reliable brand
Hyundai verna good in this segment
Waiting for Maruti ciaz to come back with big changes. As they offer best cost with best in class features. ... fuel efficiency is remarkable. ..
plz compare creta petrol automatic & verna petrol top end automatic since the difference in price range is less.
Honda is always best. u have power, abundance rear space and good looks.
Can u compare the diesel manual of the honda city and the hyundai verna....both at their top specs?
What would you recommend for me, I am not a daily driver, might drive 5000KM a year. I'd prefer ride comfort, silent engine and average fuel economy. Hyundai or Honda for long term engine durability? And who has minimum maintenance costs?
Thanks.
You can't go wrong with either. In ride comfort and silent cabin, verna is the winner. City can feel a bit stiff over bad roads.

Verna is still king.....
very accurate information.good video
Hyundai verna is really good. Its worth the money. 👍🏼
a better steering and tighter brakes would have taken the verna a step ahead.
All people says yaris bad but they dont know its a european standard car better than city and verna(my fav city petrol)
I think Skoda Rapid 1.6 MPI should be included. Vw Vento 1.2 turbo is best in class but available only with DSG.
Pushpak Khedkar 1.2 TSI even though mated to an AT box, is still best in class when it comes to driving thrills...
Ya give a sunroof and push button start, Indians will suck up to any brand 😂
I think in petrol engine city is the best!!!
If anyone planning to buy a car in next 2 years ,better wait for Toyota to cut the prices of Yaris. It will heavily discounted before 2020.
Do comparison of the diesels also..
