Update (21/03/2023): Hyundai has launched the sixth-generation Verna in India with prices starting from Rs 10.90 lakh (introductory ex-showroom).
The sixth-generation Hyundai Verna is all set to debut in India soon and you can book one now to try and avoid a long wait, for a token amount of Rs 25,000. Ahead of the launch, here’s everything you need to know about the sedan:

The Verna is significantly bigger than its predecessor, but it is the shortest in its segment in terms of length and height. However, it is the widest and offers the most generous boot capacity. The growth in proportions should translate to a spacious cabin.

Hyundai has retained the old Verna’s 115PS 1.5-litre petrol engine, which comes with a six-speed manual and a CVT automatic. The efficient diesel engine has been ditched with the new generation of the Verna.
However, the Verna’s 120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol engine has been replaced by a new 160PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit. Transmission options for the new engine include six-speed manual and seven-speed DCT (dual clutch automatic).

Even More Features
The Verna was already a feature-rich offering and the new generation just takes things up a notch. It will be equipped with dual integrated displays, housing the 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen system and the digitised driver’s display. Other features onboard will include an eight-speaker Bose sound system, touch-operated and switchable controls for infotainment and AC, front heated and ventilated seats, and an electric sunroof
Enhanced Safety Package
The Verna’s standard safety feature set will consist of six airbags, seatbelt reminder, three-point seatbelts (for all passengers), ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and rear parking sensors. The higher-end variants will get electronic stability control (ESC), all wheel disc brakes, front parking sensors, and tyre pressure monitoring system.
The biggest change, however, is the addition of ADAS (advanced driver assistance system). The radar-based safety tech will offer automatic emergency braking, blind spot alert, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and lead vehicle departure alert.
