Completed 10,000 kms with Verna SX+ MT in 9 months. AMA
Completed 10,000 kms in my 9-months old naturally-aspirated Verna SX+ MT. Absolutely enjoyed every bit of driving in it. Also received compliments (and a bit of criticism) from friends and relatives.
**Additional Accessories**
Lumax Projector Fog lamps: As the connected DRL and downward LEDs being primary headlights, the throw and brightness was decent, but not the best in the darkest of the roads with negligible light. So, I had to install it for extra brightness. Also, the lamps are focused mostly on ground so that others don't get blinded in their eyes.
70mai A510 Dash cam: As recommended by friends and fellow Redditors from the community, I went for the top quality camera recording setup. Download quality is excellent. Can properly see the vehicle registration numbers from front and back cameras. Fully satisfied.
**Criticism:**
As mentioned via projector fog lamps, headlight intensity is decent, but you should consider (if not doing it) installing additional lamps.
Rear AC vents: Have received that the rear AC output is not up to the mark. So I have to control it via fan speed which does the job. Could have been better.
**Standout praises:**
Suspension quality: Bit on the softer side, but my automotive-nerd friends were absolutely impressed by the suspension quality. They don't feel a thing on bumpy roads. Might bounce a little on uneven highways. Nothing to worry about though.
Top notch interiors: Quality fit and finish, lush ventilated seats, AC-infotainment toggle, good mix of touch and buttons.
Refinement and Cabin Experience: One of the best refined engines by Hyundai, with negligible cabin noise. You will feel like you are sitting in a hybrid/EV.
High speed stability: I have only reached 140 kmph but didn't feel any hesitation while driving at such high speed.
**Service Experience:**
Availed two services, first free service at 1500 kms and second one at 10000 kms. Service reps contacted me for pickup and drop-off at my residence. Also, provided my Whatsapp updates via pics or videos about the service steps. The second service cost was Rs. 2600 for engine-oil change only. Rest everything was fine. Absolutely impressed by the service experiences. No hassles at all.
**Mileage:**
City: Avg. 10 kmpl (Bumper to Bumper being 6)
Highways: 19 kmpl (Best reported 23 kmpl)
Overall: 13.6 kmpl (Mostly city usage around 70:30)
Happy to provide any other query replies in comments.
