Hyundai Verna (2016)

Friday, 01 July 2022 07:35 AM The 2016 Hyundai Verna was noted for its fuel-efficient 1.6 CRDI U2 engine with low friction coating on the pistons, along with features like tilt and telescopic steering, and a good suspension setup. However, it lacked rear AC vents and armrest cupholders in the 4S variant. I believe these omissions were minor compared to the overall package.

Tuesday, 22 August 2017 08:03 PM Hyundai has dropped its plans to introduce the Verna mild hybrid car in India due to unfavourable GST prices, which increased to 43% from July 1, 2017. This decision was made to avoid the significant tax burden on the hybrid variant. I think this move could have impacted the cars appeal in the eco-friendly segment.

Tuesday, 22 August 2017 03:06 PM The 2017 Hyundai Verna was launched in India on August 22, 2017, with bookings already open at select dealerships for a token amount of Rs. 25,000. The new Verna features significant design and cosmetic changes, along with new features such as advanced safety options and improved engine specifications. I believe this launch marked a significant upgrade for the Verna series.

Tuesday, 08 August 2017 10:18 AM Hyundai revealed the engine specifications and features of the 2017 Verna, which includes a 1.6-liter petrol and diesel engine, and various trim levels with enhanced features like rear AC vents and a Harmon Kardon sound system. The car was highly anticipated for its improved performance and comfort. I think the addition of these features made it a strong contender in its segment.
