2023 Hyundai Verna vs Honda City: ADAS features comparison

The new 2023 Hyundai Verna is the latest sedan in the C-segment category in the Indian market. The sedans are losing their appeal and sales numbers lately amid the rising demands for SUVs and crossovers. However, the C-segment midsize sedans have their own charm, and with the fresh updates, the new generation Hyundai Verna has truly rejuvenated itself. The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features make this sedan more appealing.

The Honda City facelift in the same segment is the only car with Level-2 ADAS features. This makes the new Hyundai Verna and Honda City the only two models in the midsize sedan category to come equipped with ADAS technology.

Here is a comparison between the ADAS technology of the new Hyundai Verna and Honda City sedans.

2023 Hyundai Verna vs Honda City: ADAS hardware differences

The ADAS technology in the new generation Hyundai Verna gets forward-mounted radar. It also comes with two more radars mounted inside the left and right sides of the rear bumper. These two additional rear-mounted radars assist in several level-2 ADAS features. The new-gen Verna comes with a radar and camera combining ADAS technology, which is more accurate, reliable and consistent than the camera-based ADAS system available onboard the Honda City.

The 2023 Honda City's camera-based system works using a forward-looking IRVM-mounted camera. There is no radar sensor in the Honda City. The radar-based ADAS technology is believed to work generally in severe weather conditions like dense fog or smog, dust storms, complete darkness, etc. In such situations, radar-based technology works more efficiently than a camera-based system. Hyundai Verna's ADAS is expected to work more efficiently with radar and camera integration than Honda City's.
