New-Gen Verna Revealed Officially: Launch on 22nd August

2017 Verna launch this month; officially unveiled today…

Hyundai unveiled the new-gen Verna in September 2016 in China and today they have revealed the India-spec version. Adorning the Fluidic  Sculpture 2.0 design language, it looks a lot more mature than the older version on sale and has lesser curves. It gets a wider cascading front grille, nice looking DRLs and a sloping roofline.

It also comes with new fog lamp enclosures and a lot of chrome apart from other visual differences vis-a-vis the current car. The rear LED tail lamps immediately remind us of the new elite i20.

It is larger than the current gen car in almost all dimensions. China-spec Verna sports all-black interiors inspired from the Elantra (pic & details of China-spec Verna) but the India-spec car has been teased with dual-tone interiors.
