However, Yaris is the most premium and comparatively the safest car you can get in this segment.

On the other hand, Verna looks sporty and aggressive. Verna will be youth buyer car, mainly in the late 20s and early 30s age group. If it comes to features, Yaris offers some features more than Verna and vice-versa. Like Yaris offers better safety features, Electronic Adjusted Passenger seat and front parking sensors. On the other hand, Verna offers sunroof, cooled seats and Automatic Headlamps. So for the verdict, the choice depends upon the buyer, but both are a good choice for their set of buyers.
