You asked for it! Here’s a grudge match between the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol manual gearbox variants of the new Hyundai Verna and the Skoda Slavia. A level playing field for both the cars, and a fair chance. And this one’s not going to be about drivers too as this will be a best of 3 drags with driver swaps. We’ve got our Ed Sirish Chandran and Asst Ed Aatish Mishra putting these cars to the test to find out which is the best performance sedan in a straight line.

Would you prefer an MT over an AT?
The trap speed for slavia is higher than the verna ?
I got the City for the space, refinement and looks even though these are much more powerful vehicles. Really wish Honda brings in a Type R City with some sort of turbocharging. Either Honda needs to bring more powerful engines, or more features(ideally both). They are currently doing neither which pains me greatly as a Honda fan.
Just curious. Can Verna turbo beat Virtus GT timing on Rann of Kutch crossing time?
How about Slavia DSG vs VERNA DCT
LET’s Have a drag race for this too.
I have also Skoda Slavia Ambition manual,in 2nd gear engine is laggy so thats why verna is having Advantage
Verna the new winner
Both cars are absolutely great in their own respective ways….
It just depends on what suits you better…
Can we have drag between Slavia 1.0 AT vs Hyundai Nline DCT.( 1.0 tsi vs 1.0tgdi).
Hope Honda launch the city rs with 1.5 vtec turbo that thing can smoke Koreans and german
Still gonna pick Slavia ❤
Thanks Sirish & evo for this video
You guys are absolute legends for listening to the viewers and doing the drag race again….now we need track test with all the cars in this segment…let's see which is faster around a track
Virtus gt manual vs hyundai manual pls pls pls
Deep down everybody knows that Verna is the most powerful among the trio. It's just the looks that have people hating on it.
Verna definitely the most performance oriented sedan but I would have liked virtus manual also
Virtus GT vs Verna make video of that
Wheres virtus gt manual
Nice race
Perfect comparo
I test drive the new verna seriously the stability and handling is too poor. Comparison to germans. Verna not able to handle that much of power. I think tucson also deserves this engine too.
Is the clutch light or hard in verna turbo.
Verna is time tested car
In dct, verna is slower than slavia and virtus.
