Hyundai has softly launched the Verna with minor updates. The international version of the Verna known as Accent was updated much earlier. It is the segment leader in the Indian market and comes with a wide variety of engine options and trims. It has been two years since the launch of the fluidic Hyundai Verna in India and some updates were necessary for the carmaker to keep the volumes going. Though the updates are not drastic, the Hyundai Verna gets only few tweaks inside out to boost appeal even further.
The most significant update to the Hyundai Verna is indeed the new headlamp cluster which gets more aggressive with LED daytime running light implants. Other notable change on the Hyundai Verna are a new set of twin 5-spoke alloy wheels, which get an attractive diamond cut design, similar to the soon to be launched Grand i10. Rest of the exteriors remain unchanged. On the inside, the updated Verna gets back-lit power windows and steering-mounted audio control buttons.
The rear headrests on the Verna are now two instead of three and the spare wheel is now a steel rim instead of alloy wheel to cut costs. The prices of the updated Hyundai Verna remain unchanged which starts at Rs. 7.29 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the base petrol version. It comes with two petrol and two diesel engine options – 1.4-litre petrol, 1.4-litre diesel, 1.6-litre petrol and 1.6-litre diesel. The Verna competes with the likes of Honda City, Maruti Suzuki SX4, Volkswagen Vento, Nissan Sunny and Fiat Linea.
