A direct rival to the City and the Ciaz, the new Verna comes in seven paint shade options and multiple engine and gearbox choices.
Hyundai has announced that the new Verna sedan has now gathered 15,000 bookings since its launch in August this year. We reported a few days ago that the number of bookings for the new Verna were close to the 15,000 mark. The Verna has already seen a price hike of around 29,000 due to the revision in GST cess. However, the carmaker insists that the pricing for the new Verna is set to go up once the bookings cross 20,000 mark.
The new Verna is available with a 123hp, 1.6-litre petrol engine and a 128hp, 1.6-litre diesel mated to either a six-speed manual or auto transmission. Information gathered from dealers suggests customers in most major cities are opting for the auto variants with the diesel engine.
Hyundai is offering seven exterior paint shade options on the Verna, out of which silver, white and black are the most in demand. Just like its predecessor, the new Verna faces stiff competition from the likes of rivals such as the Honda City, the Maruti Ciaz, the Skoda Rapid and the Volkswagen Vento.
