The bookings for the midsize sedan are already open.
The 2023 Hyundai Verna gets a brand new exterior as it sticks by the latest Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy. The front fascia comprises a wide grille with sporty inserts, sharp-looking LED headlamps and bumper area, horizontal LED lighting strip covering the entire width above the headlamp cluster, muscular creases on the bonnet, etc.
Other visual highlights are newly designed alloy wheels, fastback styled roofline, sleek character lines, connected LED tail lamps and so on. The interior will be a radical departure compared to the outgoing model and it will feature a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charger, a sunroof, six airbags and powered seats amongst others.
It will be powered by a 1.5L four-cylinder petrol engine producing 115 PS and 144 Nm while the 1.5L four-cylinder diesel engine has been discontinued. A new 1.5-litre turbo petrol mill has been added to the lineup and it develops 160 PS and 253 Nm. A six-speed MT, a CVT and a DCT will be the transmission options.
