Hyundai Verna launched - Price and Specification....!!!!!

Hyundai the auto giant has come with one more super launch of the year. After the successive launch and sales of i10 and i20, the company has step up to capture the sedan market. The hatchback market of the company has made a wonderful and very huge profit for the company. The company hopes to capture the sedan market also with its all new “Verna”.

For starters, and probably the sight that you'll notice the most is the dramatic job performed on the front end. Not only does the Verna Transform get a new pair of headlamps - that themselves are far more stylish than the current set, but it also gets a completely new front bumper as well. The headlights now look more in line with Hyundai's scorcher-of-a-car, the Genesis Coupe which is most definitely a huge improvement on the earlier units that the Verna had. But the headlamp change doesn't garner just visual appeal - Hyundai claims that it also provides better illumination. The front bumper gets a curvier theme with creases that seem to converge to a point behind the license plate - an effect that gets accentuated by the new grille that features body-colour slats running its full width just under the Hyundai logo. Then there is also the cascade mesh air dam and the round fog lamps surrounded by black inserts. Completing the visual changes on the front is the sleek row of LED turn indicators on the wing mirrors. The tail features a new lamp design as well as chrome garnish along with a dual tone redesigned bumper. But the highlight of the rear end has to be the trapezoidal chrome finished exhaust tip.

Verna's transformation ends though with the drive trains being left untampered with. Interested buyers will still get a choice of 1.6 litre petrol and a 1.5 litre diesel engine. The petrol engine puts out 103.2PS @ 5500rpm and 146 Nm of torque that peaks at 3000rpm and finds way into the Verna Transform 1.6 VTVT and 1.6 SX VTVT. The diesel unit makes 110PS @ 4000rpm and 236Nm between 1900 and 2750rpm and is available in three variants - 1.5 CRDi VGT, 1.5 SX CRDi VGT & 1.5 SX VGT (AT). While both petrol variants and the first two mentioned diesel variants are mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the 1.5 SX VGT (AT) is coupled to a 4-speed auto’ box.

Here comes the price list of this superb beast. The base petrol Verna Transform remains at Rs 6.55 lakh while the SX VTVT will now go for Rs 7.5 lakh - only Rs 20,000 higher than the older SX. The 1.5 CRDi is now Rs 7.87 lakh and the SX variant on the oil-burner will retail for Rs 8.38 lakh with the manual transmission while the 1.5 SX VGT (AT) is tagged at Rs 9.21 lakh (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
