The new Hyundai Verna has just been launched at a handsome price

Putting an end to anticipations brought about by several teasers, scoops and spottings, Hyundai Motor India has finally launched the new Hyundai Verna here. The model is expected to bring the winds back into the sedan space, and the market placement seems to do just the same. The 2023 Hyundai Verna is available with NA and turbocharged petrol engines, in a total of 10 variants and priced in the 10.90 – 17.37 lakh ( ex-showroom and introductory). Here are more details about this car.

Design

The new Verna could be the best-looking sedan in its class. It is built on Hyundai’s new-age ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design philosophy. The manufacturer calls this the ‘new Hyundai face’. Verna 2023 looks sporty and futuristic. The Korean marque has admitted that the base thought for this design came from something sci-fi like a spaceship.

Key design highlights of the new 6th generation Verna include sleek headlamps, with full-width LED positioning lamps and DRLs, a parametric grille with touches of Chrome on it, a clean fastback silhouette, Z-shaped character lines, 16-inch alloy wheels, multiple touches of Satin Chrome, parametric connected LED tail lamps, and a neatly integrated sharkfin antenna.
