New Verna Changes:

Hyundai India claims to have made quite a few changes in what they call is ‘the world sedan’, which include the following:

  • They have stiffened the suspension a bit to cope up with the lunar craters Indian roads often turn into.
  • The piston skirt has a ceramic coating which reduces friction and increases fuel efficiency. They also claim to use low viscosity oil which improves performance.
  • The steering system uses telescopic adjustment for precise driving positioning and cam type tilt function for smooth operation.

Targeting mid and high level executives in the age group of 30s and 40s the new Verna facelift is positioned as a family mid-size sedan and is an attempt by the company to inject some freshness into the car.

ABS has been kept standard on all the variants and the top of the line variant gets 6 airbags. A 2 DIN audio system with 1 GB internal memory is an interesting addition for the segment. Keeping the rear passenger in mind, an ‘ergo’ lever has been added to the front seats which will allow the rear passenger to adjust the seat easily.
