The eagerly anticipated 2023 Hyundai Verna has been introduced in India from an introductory price of Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The mid-size sedan from the second-largest automaker in India has undergone a number of improvements, including a new look, additional features, and new engine choices. The sixth-generation Verna is available in 10 variations, with two different engine options and three different gearbox options.
According to Hyundai, more than 8,000 reservations have already been made, with 25% going towards the turbo-petrol models and the remaining reservations going towards the normally aspirated models. On the other hand, 40% of all reservations are for automatic variants. Hyundai says deliveries have begun, although there could be a two-month wait for the same. The Verna comes with a three-year/unlimited-km warranty from Hyundai.
The new Hyundai Verna’s standout feature is its new design language, inspired by the new Sonata. The sedan has a full LED light bar on the nose that divides the bonnet and bumper. The new-generation Verna’s side profile is attractive in the design sketches that have been made public and now has larger dual-tone alloy wheels. It has integrated tail lights and a clean appearance at the back. The brand-new Verna will be offered in seven colour choices, including Typhoon Silver, Fiery Red, Starry Night, Titan Grey, Abyss Black, Atlas White, and Tellurian Brown, and four trim levels: EX, S, SX, and SX (O).
The Hyundai Verna’s dimensions are 4,535 mm length, 1,765 mm wide, and 1,475 mm tall, making it the lowest car in its segment. Together with the best-in-class 528-litre trunk volume, the wheelbase is also the best in its class at 2,670 mm.
The dashboard of the Hyundai Verna features a dual display with a futuristic aesthetic, with two 10.25-inch touchscreens housed in a single glass pane. There is a high-set centre console, a two-spoke steering wheel, and beautifully fitted AC vents. It has Level-2 ADAS technology, an electric sunroof, an ambient lighting system, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, the BlueLink-connected car system, and wireless phone charging.
The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol and all-new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines will be available for the new Hyundai Verna. The former is offered with a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic and produces 115 hp and 144 Nm. The new turbo-petrol engine will have 160 hp and 253 Nm of torque and be available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed DCT automatic.
The all-new Hyundai Verna faces off against vehicles like the Volkswagen Virtus, Skoda Slavia, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, and Honda City in the C-segment sedan market. Stay tuned to Car India for a detailed review coming up soon.
