Hyundai reveal details of new upcoming India-spec Verna

Hyundai India have revealed details of their upcoming Verna, readied for an August 22nd launch.

Hyundai states that the new car’s chassis is stiffer, while the suspension setup is all-new, which is said to improve ride and handling. The car is based on the K2 platform made up of high-strength steel, which is said to be beneficial for crashworthiness and rigidity. It has also been mentioned by the carmaker that the improved body structure will help reduce NVH levels.

A host of features will include ventilated front seats, LED DRLs, LED tail lamps, projector beam foglamps, cruise control, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with audio-video navigation and voice recognition, 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and six airbags on the top-end variants, among a lot of other goodies as well.

A 128hp 1.6-litre diesel and a 123hp 1.6-litre petrol engine making 245Nm of torque will do duty on the new India-spec Verna. Both engines will be mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Bookings have already begun across all Hyundai dealerships in India. The new Verna, when launched, will be a breath of fresh air in its segment.
