The new 2017 Hyundai Verna today finally went on sale in India at an introductory price of Rs. 7.99 lakh to Rs. 12.61 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). These prices are applicable only for the first 20,000 customers and post that mark the company will increase the price of the car. Hyundai had shown the first-ever glimpse of the new-gen Verna in September 2016, exactly a year ago. The all-new Verna takes its design inspiration from its elder sibling, the Elantra and gets a long list of features and equipment update. As is evident, the biggest change is the front end, which now gets a single-piece hexagonal grille along with newly designed headlamps that have projector headlamps within. The bumper too is re-designed and is embedded with fog lamps in chrome housing.

2017 Hyundai Verna comes with new design updates and styling
While the earlier Verna also came with 1.4-litre petrol and diesel engines, Hyundai has decided to discontinue these in the new-gen Verna. It will only have the 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines. The 1.6-litre petrol engine makes 121 bhp and 151 Nm of peak torque while the diesel engine churns our 126 bhp and 260 Nm of peak torque. Both engines are offered with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic torque converter unit.
As far as rivals go, the new Hyundai Verna will be going up against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and the Honda City which was relaunched a few months ago as a facelift.
