One international model that needs an update is the Hyundai Verna. Several times in India, its camouflaged test mules have been spotted conducting testing, providing some details. Now that the global unveil is anticipated to occur this quarter, we can only hope that the launch in our market will occur at least in the second quarter. What we may anticipate from the car is listed below.
Exterior
The camouflage on the test mules taking rounds in our country has managed to hide the exterior changes very well. However, we expect the new Verna‘s exterior to be based on the brand’s ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design philosophy. The car should therefore feature a grille similar to the Elantra’s with split headlamps on either side. The bumpers are new, and the front one has an ADAS sensor underneath the licence plate in addition to these sweptback headlamps.
Interior
Now, after spotting that sensor, it goes without saying that Verna‘s new model will get ADAS. And it’s not surprising because the new Tucson has given us a taste of it. It’s interesting to note that the sedan’s interior will be entirely redesigned. This includes a dual-screen configuration with a digital instrument cluster and a sizable touchscreen infotainment system in the middle. Considering Hyundai, we can also anticipate it to step up the ante with new, first-in-segment features and an abundance of equipment.
motor and transmission
It’s highly likely that Hyundai will offer the 1.5-liter gasoline and diesel engines in the Verna in 2023. However, we anticipate that these might be combined with a hybrid motor. The present six-speed manual and automatic transmission options may also be retained. However, given the current situation and the impending RDE pollution standards, there is a risk that Hyundai would altogether discontinue the oil-burner in this soon-to-be gasoline-centric segment.
Dateline and Contest
At the manufacturer’s plant in India, the forthcoming Verna is anticipated to start manufacturing by the end of this month. The sedan will continue to be built in our nation even after it makes its debut in foreign markets. In fact, output will be increased in comparison to the original plan in order to meet the demand for exports. The Honda City, Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Virtus, and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz will be the Hyundai Verna’s rivals when it debuts in India.
