The new Hyundai Verna and Skoda Slavia are available in a variety of variants with prices on the base trims differentiated by about 39,000. The Verna is more accessible on the entry trims, while the Slavia offers a better deal on the top-end 1.0-litre turbo at 15.90 lakh, about 30,000 less than the top-end Verna 1.5 NA. Both the models sit closer when it comes to pleasing the enthusiasts with a 1.5-litre turbo manual variant available.

2023 Hyundai Verna vs Maruti Suzuki Ciaz

The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz is the oldest offering in this segment and is yet to get a major upgrade, unlike its competition. This does favour the Ciaz when it comes to pricing making it substantially more accessible. With a starting price of 9.19 lakh, the model is a good 1.71 lakh more affordable than the base Hyundai Verna. It also tops out at 12.18 lakh for the Alpha 1.5 automatic trim, which is only marginally more expensive than the Verna 1.5 NA petrol S manual trim. That said, the Ciaz has aged and lacks the goodies that are now found in the newer rivals.
