Honda City vs Hyundai Verna - India Reviews and Comparisons

Above: Hyundai Verna vs Honda comparison by Autoportal

Honda City 6th Generation facelift and the 2018 Hyundai Verna have created a stiff competition in the Compact Sedan segment in India. Both of these cars are amazing in their own ways and giving tough time to the other in looks, interior, comfort, drive and longevity.

We have included a couple of video reviews below from the Indian reviewers who understand the local market very well and how these cars perform on the road.

Autoportal experienced a larger interior space in the Honda City, specially for the rear seat legroom, also City is more comfortable for long drives as the seats are better designed ergonomically.

Whilst Hyundai Verna is loaded with options specially the air filters and a better touch screen and a Diesel variant that gives a great of up to 22 km/liter. Honda City has a tough and i-VTEC engine that promises great performance for many years to come.


Both of these cars are not present in Pakistan as Hyundai has no car lineup at all in the country and Honda is forcing the 5th Generation Honda City on people with some cosmetic changes every couple of years.

Another comparison and review by ZigWheels is interesting as they explore more details about both cars in-depth in the following video.


Both of these cars are amazing and it depends on your preferences which one you choose after checking out the comparison and reviews.

LaFerrari Official Video, Top Gear Review and Photo Gallery

Ferrari LaFerrari in Red
Ferrari LaFerrari in Red

LaFerrari is obviously the most 'beautiful Ferrari ever made and that Red color looks more killing on it than any other car in the world.

Although it's a luxury thing but Ferrari is a household name in every part of the world — the ones who cannot afford the cars just put a beautiful wallpaper on their computer or mobile screens and a poster in their bedroom — yes that's popularity like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Lee.

Below is the original official LaFerrari video you can watch to get the needed adrenaline rush going through your veins.



Review:

LaFerrari is the flagship car from Ferrari and that says much about it. It's made out of four different carbon fibers that are used to make the sports car as light as possible. It's even lighter than the Porsche 911 and McLaren

It's not just the best Ferrari in history but also one of the most expensive ones — LaFerrari cost more than a million dollars and still you have to wait for yours to be available. Existing owners sometimes offer to sale their pre-owned LaFerraris online but the price tag is 2 - 3 million dollars a piece.

The most significant thing about the LaFerrari is that it's a 'Hybrid' car — meaning it has a V12 petrol engine and an electric motor at the same time — but LaFerrari cannot run only on electric power.

I think Ferrari used the electric motors on the wheels just to get some instant torque in-order to match the instantaneous acceleration of the electric cars. According to James May (Top Gear video below) Ferrari sasys "We are not interested in Electric Cars".

The driver seat is fixed (not adjustable) — the driver seating settings are adjusted by the steering wheel and the pedals — this means the driver can sit lower and the roof is created lower to make the center of gravity lower for enhanced 'handling'.


At the time of Top Gear review James thought 'it's the greatest car in the world', you don't hear that kind of praise for a car from previous Top Gear crew that are hosting their new show on Amazon prime 'The Grand Tour' !

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe review

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe  - unveiled at the 2018 New York Auto Show. Click to zoom-in - press X in top-right to get back to post.


All new Hyundai Santa Fe is the big brother to the Kona, much more classier, luxury and larger. Coming to the Australian market in mid 2018 this will sure be a fun SUV to drive.

Also for the North American market the Santa Fe has been unveiled at the 2018 New York International Auto show (video below)




Review video mentions 2018 but this model is a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe for the North America - unveiled on 28 Mar, 2018 at the New York International Auto Show.

Hyundai is bringing at least 8 SUVs / CUVs to the world in 2018-2019 and that shows how the crossover vehicle is the new trend in the car market. 

Electric Vehicles that are CUVs are hot cakes to sell. The unveiling of three crossovers at the NY Auto Show this year shows the trend. Watch video below.

2018 Toyota Corolla Altis Grande Facelift Review! The Game Changer in Pakistan



@SamiAsimKhan did a great review for the currently available Toyota Altis Grande in Pakistan. The guy went to AUTOMALL and got us a first hand walkthrough of the vehicle. 

The new re-designed Toyota Corolla is surely a breeze for Pakistani customers design wise comparable to the 10th Gen Honda Civic.

The Altis Grande variant of Corolla is the top of the line model with all the options imaginable. Rear and front parking cameras, smarty entry, immobilizer, auto open/close side-view mirrors and many more. 

Let's look at the review below and enjoy the great looks of the vehicle. We'll post a photo gallery of the stunning new car soon.
