Cars are not only a product that helps us move from one place to another but is also a sensation to many. So, many of us don’t feel the urge to sell and buy another one. One such car that is near and dear to some of us is the older generation Honda Civic. They have proven to be quite competent and capable of contending with other sedans especially in drag races.

Speaking of drag races, it’s always fun to watch two cars compete with each other. Drag races are one such event that brings excitement. So let’s take a look at a drag race between a Honda Civic and a Hyundai Verna. But before we begin, we would like to bring to your notice that this video is for entertainment purposes. Kindly wear your seatbelt and drive with caution. Please do not race on public roads!

Like always, it’s important to know the power figures of these vehicles so let’s have a look at them:

Honda Civic

The Civic

The Civic in the video is not meant for the weak-hearted as it comes with a powerful 1799cc engine that churns out 130bhp of power at 6300rpm and 172Nm of torque at 4300rpm

The Honda Civic is an iconic vehicle in Indian Automotive history. The Civic came with a 1799cc engine that churns out 130bhp of power at 6300rpm. It also generated 172Nm of torque at 4300rpm.

Hyundai Verna Turbo

The Verna Turbo

On the other hand, the Verna Turbo is powered by a 998cc petrol engine that churns out 118.35bhp of power and 171.61Nm of torque

The Hyundai Verna seems underpowered compared to the Honda Civic on paper. The Verna comes with a 998cc petrol engine that churns out 118.35bhp of power at 6000rpm. It also produces 171.61Nm of torque between 1500-4000rpm.

So, based on quick math, it is quite clear that the Civic has better power delivery, at least on paper. Nonetheless, power figures on paper do not translate well in real-world conditions. So, may the best car win!

Well, we know that you are curious to know who claims victory in this epic drag race. So without further ado, let’s check out the details.

Round 1

This electrifying round begins with the Verna taking off from the starting point like a rocket

The video presented by the YouTube channel ’Sanjeet Jaat’ is quite interesting. The YouTuber has chosen the Honda Civic since it’s a powerful machine in contrast to the Verna. Even so, the Verna has modern tech onboard compared to the Civic. This could help it gain speed and torque to beat the decade-old Civic. Well, it’s time to find out.

The Verna powers through the drag strip leaving the Civic to eat its dust, claiming victory

The race begins with the Verna taking off like a rocket. The Civic manages to close up the gap a little but Verna’s modern powertrain is no match for it. The Civic had to lose with a car length of the gap between it and the Verna. The Verna wins the first round of the drag race.

Round 2

To be fair, the Civic gets to jumpstart the race but boy will you be surprised by the result

Round 2 of the drag race begins with a twist. The driver of the Civic switches. The YouTuber gets behind the wheel of the Civic to see if it makes any difference in the final result. Also, the driver of the Verna lets the Civic jumpstart to make headway in the race. But to his surprise, the Verna catches up with the Civic and vrooms past it to claim victory. The Hyundai Verna wins the drag race challenge.
