Saturday, April 24, 2010Overview of 2011 New Hyundai Verna Fluidic
Hyundai India has launched the all-new 2011 Verna in India, it is based on the RB concept which is also sold as Hyundai Solaris in Russia. It will compete with the likes of Honda City, Fiat Linea, Maruti SX4 and Volkswagen Vento. Hyundai India launched Verna few years ago but it never managed to sell in good numbers because of odd styling and less features.
