Hyundai Motor India Limited has upgraded the Verna for the Indian market, with a starting price of ₹10.98 lakh (ex showroom).
More than 25 stylistic, technological, comfort, and safety improvements are included in the most recent upgrade, which aims to increase the sedan’s attractiveness in the mid-size market. The Verna is still committed to providing a high-end cabin experience, robust performance, and an extensive feature set.
Exterior design updates
The updated Verna looks crisper and more modern thanks to a number of design adjustments. Redesigned front and rear bumpers, twin LED projector headlights, and a black chrome radiator grille are some of the major upgrades.
New 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels are also installed on the sedan. With dimensions of 4,565 mm in length, 2,670 mm in wheelbase, and 1,765 mm in width, the Verna continues to be one of the largest sedans in the class, adding to a roomy cabin.
Interior and comfort features
The modified Verna has some interior improvements to make it more comfortable and convenient. Leatherette seat covering and a new D-cut steering wheel are among them.
The driver’s seat now has an eight-way powered adjustment with a welcome retract feature and memory function. The passenger seat has a walk-in device and a 4-way electronic adjustment.
The car still has a 528-liter boot, but it also has a smart trunk system and a rear window sunshade.
Connectivity and technology
The Verna continues with a sizable dual screen configuration that has two 10.25-inch screens for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system.
In addition, the vehicle has an electric sunroof, heated front seats, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a wireless charging pad. More than 70 linked functions and a wide range of voice command abilities are available on Hyundai’s connected car platform.
Highlights include an eight-speaker Bose premium sound system, a surround vision monitor, a blind spot view monitor, and a switchable interface that combines infotainment and controlling the temperature features.
Engine and performance
There are still two petrol engine options for the Verna.
The first is a 1.5-liter MPi petrol engine mated to an IVT automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The 1.5-liter turbo GDi petrol engine, which produces 160 horsepower and 253 Nm of torque, is another option available to buyers. This engine comes with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission or a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Additionally useful are features like idle stop and go, paddle shifters, and driving modes.
Safety and ADAS features
The inclusion of Level 2 ADAS with 20 driver assistance functions has also improved safety. In addition to a built-in dashcam and rain-sensing wipers, the car now has seven airbags, including a center airbag.
Six airbags, electronic stability control, hill start assistance, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat mounts are among the standard safety features.
Prices, colors, and variations
There are several variations of the upgraded Verna available with both engine options. Prices range from 10.98 lakh to 18.25 lakh (ex showroom).
Also, Hyundai has added two new color choices for the sedan: Titan Grey Matte and Classy Blue.
