Hyundai's Verna has continued to be a popular choice in the sedan segment, resulting in an extended waiting period for customers in March 2024. Priced from Rs. 11 lakh (ex-showroom), the sixth-generation Verna presents a diverse lineup with four variants - EX, S, SX, and SX(O) - and offers a choice between two petrol engine options. The Verna's popularity is highlighted by the ongoing demand as customers value its performance, features, and style combination.
Powertrain options
Customers can choose between a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. The turbo-petrol variant delivers 158bhp and 253Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DCT unit. On the other hand, the NA petrol engine produces 113bhp and 144Nm of torque, available with a six-speed manual or a CVT unit. However, there is no diesel powertrain option available.
Competition and Demand
In the Indian market, the Hyundai Verna competes with popular sedans like the Volkswagen Virtus, Skoda Slavia, Honda City, and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. Due to its attractive features, performance, and competitive pricing, the Verna continues to be a preferred choice among sedan buyers, resulting in a waiting period of four to six weeks from the booking date.
The Hyundai Verna's long waiting list highlights its strong position in the sedan class and shows its popularity the car remains with consumers even after all these years. In the Indian market clients looking for a stylish and feature-rich sedan will find the Verna to be an appealing option due to its wide selection of variations and engine options. The Verna's status as a major player in the competitive sedan market is cemented by this ongoing demand which is a credit to Hyundai's ability to provide cars that fit customers' needs and preferences.
