Hyundai Verna No Longer Offers Diesel Engine
The current generation of the Hyundai Verna, launched in March 2023, does not come with any diesel engine options. This marks a significant shift as previous models did offer diesel variants. I believe this change is likely due to the increasing preference for petrol engines and the stringent emission norms.

Previous Diesel Variants Discontinued
In the past, the Hyundai Verna was available with a 1.4-litre diesel engine, which was introduced in 2018 for the E and EX variants. However, this engine option has been discontinued in the latest generation. I think this move aligns with the industrys trend towards petrol and hybrid vehicles.

New Features but No Diesel
Hyundai has recently updated the Verna with a new Amazon Grey color and a rear spoiler, but there has been no reintroduction of diesel engine options. The focus remains on the 1.5-litre petrol and turbo-petrol engines. I believe this strategy is aimed at catering to the current market demand for petrol vehicles.

Market Competition Without Diesel
The Hyundai Verna competes with other sedans like the Skoda Slavia, Honda City, and VW Virtus, none of which offer diesel options in their latest models either. This suggests a broader market shift away from diesel engines in the compact sedan segment. I think this trend will continue as manufacturers adapt to changing consumer preferences and regulatory requirements.

Price Hikes and Feature Updates
While the Hyundai Verna has seen price hikes and feature updates, including the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, there has been no mention of reviving the diesel engine option. I believe the company is focusing on enhancing the existing petrol variants to maintain competitiveness in the market.
