This engine can be matched with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. The new Verna is priced between Rs 11 lakh and Rs 17.42 lakh, ex-showroom.

Author’s Note
Lowering the overall height of the Verna might improve its driving dynamics and appearance, but on our roads, it could be challenging to drive it over massive potholes and speed breakers in many parts of the country. In fact, the abysmal condition of our roads is a prime reason why the trend of SUVs is on the rise. People purchase SUVs for their road presence and high ground clearance. SUVs give them the ability to take the owners just about anywhere without worrying about scraping the underbelly. Hence, we are not sure about that aspect with this Verna.
