      The 2017 Hyundai Verna will be launched for the Indian market tomorrow. Dealerships have recently begun accepting bookings for the sedan.

      Next-gen Hyundai Verna to be launched in India tomorrow

      This challenger to Honda City and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz is Hyundai's latest bet in the C segment in India. This refreshed version of the Verna not only gets a new design, it has also increased in size as compared to the current sedan. This new-gen Verna is 65mm longer, 29mm wider and has a 30mm longer wheelbase. So with the increase in the dimensions, we can expect an increase in rear headroom and boot capacity too.

      This new-generation Verna features a dual tone interior with a seven-inch touchscreen AVN unit. It supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and sat-nav amongst other features. The sedan will come with cooled and ventilated front seats, which is a first for a mid-size sedan in India. Other features will include leather-wrapped steering wheel with cruise control and infotainment buttons, auto-dimming mirrors, automatic ‘Clean Air’ climate control, HID headlamps with auto functions, LED tail lamps and 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels.

      We are expecting Hyundai to power the Verna with the same set of 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines. However, these will be tuned to deliver more power and fuel economy. These engines will come mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, while there will be an optional new six-speed automatic transmission on offer as well.

      The Korean car manufacturer will announce the variant-wise prices of this fifth generation Verna tomorrow at an event in Delhi. We can expect the mid-size sedan to be offered at a starting price of Rs 8 lakhs, ex-showroom. Apart from the Honda City and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, the Verna will also compete with the Volkswagen Vento and Skoda Rapid in our country.
