2017 Hyundai Verna: All You Need To KnowsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #new7 years ago

The 2017 Hyundai Verna is all set to go up against its age old arch rival, the Honda City, in an all-new avatar. Though the automaker has just revealed official sketches and a teaser video of the new Verna, it is fairly easy to assume what the India-spec model will pack since features and mechanicals will be shared with the Elite i20 and the Creta. Also, it has already been introduced in Russia, North America and China. Here’s what we know about the upcoming Verna so far.

A Quick Recap Of The New Verna
The 2017 Verna made its debut at the 2016 Chengdu Motor Show in September in China. As far as India is concerned, it is the third-gen model, but technically, it’s the fifth-gen of the Accent nameplate. The third-gen Accent was renamed as the Verna, making it the first-gen model for the Indian market.

The one that we’ll be getting was revealed in Canada (known as Accent there) and Russia (known as Solaris there) earlier this year. When compared to the Chinese version (check out the picture above), this sedan features subtle differences on the front and the rear profile. Overall, they all are more or less similar!

Launch And Bookings
Hyundai has been teasing the all-new Verna of late, hinting at its imminent launch. Although not confirmed, it is expected to be launched around mid-August. A lot of dealers have already started accepting pre-bookings for the same. Check out more info here: New Hyundai Verna: Unofficial Bookings Underway

Rivals
As mentioned above, the Honda City remains its prime adversary in the mid-size sedan segment. The new Verna will also have to go head-to-head against the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. Sedans from Volkswagen Group, the VW Vento and the Skoda Rapid, got major updates recently. The Skoda received a significant facelift, while the Volkswagen gained a new feature-loaded range-topping trim. This, combined with their class-leading dual-clutch automatic drivetrains, has helped the company attract a lot of customers in the segment. The Verna has to look out for them as well.
