Hyundai Verna made its debut in 2006 in the country. The car enjoyed healthy sales rivaling the segment leader from Honda, the City. Both of these cars were fierce competitors when it came to features and specifications. However, come present-day, the competition has mounted extensively. Cars like the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus are gaining pace. Though City has updated itself thoroughly, Hyundai Verna does lag behind in some areas. Now, to regain its market share, Hyundai is working on the new-generation Verna. Recently, some interesting details regarding this upcoming sedan came out. So, what are these interesting details? Read the article to know.

New details

 New Hyundai Verna

Hyundai is planning to bring in the new-generation Verna to the country. However, there is a catch. The fact that India has become a very stale market for the executive sedans is hidden from none. Thus, bringing in the next-generations Elantra to the market would not make sense. To compensate for that, the company is planning to kill two birds with one stone. How, you ask? The new-generation Verna is going to be a bigger car overall with increased dimensions.

This will allow Hyundai to place a single product against a wide array of rivals. Verna has always catered to budget buyers, however, the new one could take it a notch higher and sit in the market as a much premium offering when compared to its current rivals. How will the new Verna do that? The brand will house more features and equipment that will up its premium quotient.

New Hyundai Verna – Design

The new upcoming Verna has been spotted on foreign roads. Covered in heavy camouflage, the new car is bigger in size. The length of the car has increased which could translate to more legroom for back seat passengers. The new car may get the parametric grille that we see in the recent launches from Hyundai (Venue facelift & Tucson). In addition, the car is also expected to get global design language from Hyundai including changes in bumpers, lighting, and alloy wheels. Another notable difference could be the new continuous light strip on the trunk, just like the Venue facelift.

Specifications

Due to the increasing prices of fuels, mileage has become a crucial factor. In order to tackle this, Hyundai might encapsulate mild hybrid technology in the Verna. The ICE options are could mostly remain similar with 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine options being on offer. However, we expect the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol to be replaced with the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol for strongly placing it against its German rivals. For reference, the Virtus and Slavia get a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol.

Features

With new-age cars offering tons of features, the new Verna could come with a longer list as well. A 360-degree camera, HUD display, a larger infotainment system, and additional connected car features could make their way to the car. Could ADAS be on offer? Possibly yes, given the brand’s strategy of giving out features.

Slavia and Virtus have fumed the mid-size sedan segment in India. Honda City is also holding a strong spot in the market. This is the reason why there is a strong need for Hyundai to revamp its Verna. Therefore, it is expected that Hyundai would launch the Verna in the first half of 2023. It is also highly likely that the car could be unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023.
