Hyundai Creta vs Hyundai Verna: A suave sedan or boxy SUV, which one to choose
Hyundai updated its widely popular SUV Creta with a major facelift just a few days ago. The 2024 Hyundai Creta comes with a wide range of design and features updates making it a major facelifted iteration of the car. The extent of the updates is so much that it looks like a whole new-generation model rather than just a facelift with cosmetic upgrades.
Over the last several months, Hyundai updated its range of cars on offer in India and one model that received a significant visual upgrade was the Verna sedan. Despite being positioned in the mid-size segment, the current Hyundai Verna looks premium thanks to its design and features. Also, despite the sedans losing their appeal and sales numbers, the Verna continues to woo certain sets of buyers.
