Hyundai Viva 2008-2009

Hyundai Verna Viva cars were introduced in Egypt as 2008 and 2009 models, which are considered the most popular models. The car was introduced in Egypt as an Indian product. Known simply as the Viva, Verna Viva, or the Indian Verna, the car's specifications are similar to the regular Hyundai Verna.

The car was first displayed in Egypt at the Automech 2007 exhibition at the Hyundai pavilion. It belongs to the small sports saloon category, with prominent design lines, especially at the front, with large C-shaped taillights. Straight, streamlined lines extend from the rear along the sides of the car, including the protrusions in the doors for protection in the event of a collision, ending at the front, which features large taillights and a front grille bearing the Hyundai logo.

The Verna Viva is an older version of the Verna models known in Egypt. The Verna, known in Egypt, is considered the newer version of this car, but its introduction in Egypt was an attempt to capitalize on the Verna's popularity by offering a newer model that would garner greater demand. It was offered in Egypt with smaller engines than the regular Verna and at a lower price.

When it was launched in Egypt, its price was EGP 65,500 for the category. The regular model comes with air conditioning and power steering, while the full model comes with air conditioning, power steering, an original Hyundai cassette player, power windows, power mirrors, and a central locking system.

Many Verna Viva owners believe it handles better than the Egyptian Verna, even though it has a lower engine and power.

The Hyundai Verna Viva has a fairly good interior, as it's a family car. However, many owners agree that the Indian version of the Verna Viva is better than the Egyptian Verna in terms of interior materials and sealing, especially on the doors and roof. The dashboard color is also better and more elegant, and it's a better beige than the darker Egyptian Verna, but it gets dirty more easily.

The car is 4,250 mm long, 1,670 mm wide, and 1,370 mm high. The wheelbase is 2,440 mm, with a ground clearance of 172 mm. The car weighs 1,057 kg.

Spare Parts

70%

There are no major problems with the availability of spare parts for the car, as they are readily available, similar to other Verna spare parts, and are used identically to regular Verna spare parts, at reasonable prices. When the car was introduced, the company announced that maintenance and spare parts were available at the same cost as regular Verna parts.

The drawback is that there is a shortage of some of the car's exterior parts, which are different from regular Verna parts, such as the front and rear bumpers, lights, and hood. The prices of these parts are high due to their scarcity.

Spare parts are available, except for the exterior parts that differ from regular Verna parts.

Prices are reasonable, except for the slightly more expensive parts.

Spare parts are identical to Egyptian Verna parts.

Suspension

70%

The car features a strong suspension and good ride quality. The suspension is firm and dry, not flexible like the regular Verna, which provides greater grip on the road. This reduces the well-known problem of unbalance in the Egyptian Verna. Many car owners have confirmed that it has no imbalance defects. The tires can also be changed to ensure greater stability. However, the dry suspension also affects the driver and passengers' perception of road bumps and imperfections.

The car's muffler is also better than the one in the regular Verna because it is raised and does not rub against bumps. However, the car's ground clearance is not as high as the regular Verna's. Some claim it is higher than the regular Verna, but it is still lower and rubs against bumps even when there are three passengers in the back.

The car features a MacPherson strut front suspension with suspension springs, gas shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar, in addition to a two-link rear suspension with suspension springs. And gas shock absorbers.

 

In general:

The car's suspension is dry and provides stability, but it's not comfortable.

The car feels more stable on the road than the Egyptian Verna.

The suspension is good.

Resale

60%

Compared to the Egyptian Verna models, the Verna Viva has not achieved widespread popularity in Egypt, and therefore its resale value is weaker than that of the more popular regular Verna. It is easier to resell the regular Verna than the Viva, and the regular Verna's price is more consistent than the Egyptian Verna. However, it cannot be said that the resale market for the Verna Viva is very poor, as the car has performed well.

The reason the Egyptian Verna Viva has not achieved widespread popularity like the Egyptian Verna is that the Egyptian Verna is newer than the Viva, has a more powerful engine, better design, and has more available spare parts and is easier to maintain.

The Verna Viva is also rumored to have a brake problem, which makes some people prefer the regular Verna over it.

 

The car's overall rating:

Resale price is lower than the Verna Egyptian

Its resale market isn't too bad.

Security

30%

This car's drawback is its lack of safety features like the Egyptian Hyundai Verna models. What safety features are available are simple and limited, such as:

Fog lights

Lower vents to enhance stability on the road

Central lock.

Front disc brakes

Rear drum brakes

Stoplights

The car's drawback is its brakes, which owners confirm are not very strong and conflict with the car's engine power and acceleration, as the brakes are not suitable for the engine and performance, and it does not have ABS or EBD brakes.

The car does not have an alarm system or any of the known modern safety features, and the car's wheels are small, 13 inches, and therefore may have some impact on stability.
