New Hyundai Verna
Over the past few years, the craze for tall SUVs has exploded in the Indian auto market, directly impacting sales of traditional sedans. Despite all this, the Hyundai Verna has maintained its dominance and popularity. This is primarily due to its unmatched driving quality and premium feel within the cabin.
With this new facelifted model, Hyundai has successfully targeted customers who seek speed and a luxurious experience. The excellent suspension and quiet cabin, which is designed to isolate outside noise, make it a perfect choice for long journeys, ensuring a smooth ride for both driver and passenger.
Segment-First Features and Cabin
The new Hyundai Verna features several revolutionary features not currently available in other vehicles in this segment. For driver convenience, it features a powered seat with a memory function, allowing different drivers to save their preferred seating positions with just a click. Features like a walk-in device for the co-driver seat and a rear window sunshade make the journey even more comfortable. Keeping in mind modern safety requirements, the company has also provided a pre-installed dashcam. For families who love to go on long vacations, it offers a massive 528-liter boot space, ensuring you don’t feel short of space even with a lot of luggage.
Level-2 ADAS and 7 Airbags
Hyundai has made no compromises on safety this time, making the Verna a safe fortress on the roads. The new Verna is equipped with the magical power of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which can detect potential collisions and automatically apply brakes in an emergency.
Additionally, 7 airbags are standard throughout the car to ensure passenger safety. These advanced features make it even safer and more reliable than its competitors, ensuring driver confidence even at high speeds on the highway, and ensuring complete safety for the family.
The Power of the 1.5-Liter Turbo Engine
The new Verna is a true powerhouse in terms of performance, powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine. This engine produces 157 bhp and 253 Nm of torque, making it a rocket-like vehicle when it accelerates. This powerful engine is paired with a modern DCT automatic gearbox, which eliminates jerks during gear changes, providing a very smooth driving experience. In the Indian market, it competes directly with the likes of the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus, but Hyundai’s advanced AIDAS safety features and extensive service network give it a significant edge over other competitors.
