2017 Hyundai Verna Hatchback Design

The 2017 Hyundai Verna Hatchback is similar to the sedan in many aspects. It gets the same front grille which is a lot larger than before and the pulled backed headlamps even have daytime running LEDs. The large front grille on the Verna hatchback makes it look stylish and larger. The fog lamps have been changed and are similar to the sedan. They now look more appealing and premium in terms of styling. The hatchback will get the same diamond-cut alloy wheels as the Verna sedan. A longer wheelbase is present for more interior space. From the rear the Verna hatchback looks very similar to the Elite i20. The door pillars are blacked-out and these are matte black. At the rear, the license plate is moved to the bottom, as the case in the Elite i20. This is inherent to the Fluidic Sculpture 2.0. The 2017 Hyundai Verna hatchback comes with a freshly-designed rear bumper, and new taillilamps. This seems inspired by the 2017 Hyundai i30.
