2023 Hyundai Verna exterior design officially unveiled

Hyundai has officially unveiled the first exterior photograph of the new Verna sedan ahead of its launch on March 21. Hyundai has already started taking reservations for the all-new Hyundai Verna for a token amount of Rs 25,000.

The brand's Sensuous Sportiness design language, according to Hyundai, is featured on the new Verna as well as other more current vehicles including the Tucson SUV, the most recent Elantra that is marketed abroad, and the just-unveiled Hyundai Grandeur sedan. The DRL is a solitary, thin LED strip that covers the width of the vehicle, similar to the Staria MPV, giving the front of the vehicle a highly futuristic appearance.

But, the enormous, blingy-looking alloy wheels that fill out the wheel arches well and give the design a very cohesive feel are what really contribute to its athletic and future-proof appeal. The various creases and sharply sculpted body panels add to the overall design and up the sporty factor.

Previous spy photos have already verified a linked LED taillight, and the side view shows another sporty touch: a thin spoiler lip on the boot lid.

Two sets of engines are available for the new Hyundai Verna. One is the tried-and-true 1.5-litre NA MPi engine, which produces 115PS and 144 Nm of torque. Either a 6-speed MT or an IVT is available with this engine (Intelligent Variable Transmission). The new 1.5-litre GDi petrol engine, which produces 160PS and 260 Nm of torque, is the more thrilling engine. Its engine will be coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed DCT.

We already know that Hyundai will sell the Verna in EX, S, SX, and SX (O) trims. The top-spec models should have amenities like a branded sound system, sunroof, powered front seats, a digital driver's display, ventilated seats, and a 360-degree camera, so expect the automaker to spare no expense in providing luxury extras.

The middle-of-the-grille radar verifies ADAS capabilities, which may include options like adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection. There should also be several airbags, ABS, EBD, rear parking sensors, and a reversing camera in the safety net.

The all-new Verna will compete against the VW Virtus, Skoda Slavia, the impending Honda City facelift, and the newly updated Maruti Suzuki Ciaz.
