In terms of features, the E trim has a lot in common with the S trim, as it gets Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, keyless entry (with folding key), front- and rear-centre armrests, power windows, power adjustable ORVMs and more.

Hyundai has also made automatic headlights standard across the range (earlier reserved for SX trim and higher).

It is evident from the table above, that the Skoda Rapid is the most affordable offering in the segment. Though even with the hike in prices, the Hyundai Verna is still not the most expensive model in the segment, as it is still marginally cheaper than the Honda City (fifth-gen).
It is also worth mentioning that the Hyundai Verna is currently the only model in the segment to offer a diesel-automatic powertrain option.
