New Delhi: This March, the next-generation Hyundai VERNA will begin production in India. Every year, the company intends to produce 70,000 units, the majority of which will be exported. The car will have an updated exterior and a roomy interior with ADAS features. It will be sold only as a gasoline-powered model. So what features will the new sedan have? Here is what we currently know.
Instead of just giving the new VERNA a facelift, Hyundai is completely redesigning it. The vehicle, which will serve both domestic and international markets, is anticipated to attract a sizable number of buyers. The sedan will compete with models like the SKODA SLAVIA, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, and Volkswagen Virtus in our nation.
The new Hyundai VERNA will have a tapered roof, a long bonnet, and a wide grille that will blend with the sleek headlights, giving it an ELANTRA-inspired appearance. It will have dual-tone alloy wheels, chromed elements on the C-pillars, and ORVMs on the sides. On the back, there should be a wrap-around LED taillamp and a windscreen with a rake.
