Hyundai is rapidly updating its current fleet of SUVs. Last month, it wrapped up the launch of the new Venue, and will be unveiling the new Tucson in India tomorrow. So what can we expect next? There are a number of cars that Hyundai is planning to bring with one of them being the next-generation Verna. Even though the sedan market is facing a threat from SUVs, the launch of Slavia and Virtus has pushed this segment towards revival. Hyundai is working on the new Verna which has already been spotted testing in India. So what will the new-generation Verna get? In today’s article, let’s talk about a Rs 10 lakh Hyundai car that will excite you.

The new Verna will be bigger than the current model. How do we know that? It is quite evident from the spy shots that the new Verna does look bigger. This extra length could translate into better second-row space, a weak point which the current model definitely needs to overcome.

Rs 10 lakh Hyundai – Design

We have only seen the spy shots of the new Verna in heavy camouflage until now. So commenting on the design is tricky, but we can take a few guesses from the overall silhouette. For starters, it will come based on Hyundai’s latest ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design language. The front fascia of the new Verna could be similar to the i20. The side profile could get sharp lines to give it a sporty look. At the rear, we may see connected tail lamps running across tailgate, just like the Venue facelift.

Specifications

The next-generation Hyundai Verna could see a powertrain revamp. There are chances that the new sedan could continue with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine and the 1.5-litre diesel engine. However, Hyundai could introduce the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol on the new Verna. Why do we think so? This engine will position this Rs 10 lakh Hyundai car as a better competitor against the Slavia and Virtus which come with 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines. There are some rumours that Hyundai might introduce mild hybrid technology on the new Verna as well. If this happens, this sedan would definitely be able to attract mileage-conscious buyers.

Features and Hyundai have kind of become synonyms in the market. The current Verna misses out on several features compared to newer sedans like the Slavia and Virtus. So we expect Hyundai to bring a lot of new features to the new Verna. What new features can we expect? We expect it to get a bigger infotainment system, a 360-degree camera, heads-up display and improved connected car technology. Could Hyundai bring ADAS to the new Verna? It certainly could as this feature will definitely make a strong case for this sedan.

Launch timeline

We have talked about the design and features, but the most important question is, when is it coming? Currently, Hyundai is testing the new Verna in South Korea as well as India. The brand is expected to unveil the car in South Korea by the end of this year. So when can we expect it in India? We can expect Hyundai to unveil the new Verna at the Auto Expo of 2023. The launch may follow in the next two to three months. The new Verna will compete with newer sedans like the Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Virtus and also the Honda City.
