Hyundai Verna Facelift Launch Delayed

The decision has been taken over the rapidly spreading coronavirus that has plagued the entire world

• It was scheduled to be launched in March 2020.

• Hyundai had commenced online and offline bookings for the facelifted sedan.

• The new Verna will be powered by three BS6 engines (two petrol and a diesel).

• Now features LED headlamps, connected tech, and a larger touchscreen. 

• Likely to be priced between Rs 8 lakh and Rs 14 lakh.

Hyundai has revealed the facelifted Verna and also commenced pre-launch bookings. While it was supposed to be launched in March, it is likely to be deferred owing to the global outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19). Hyundai, however, is continuing with online bookings for the facelifted Verna. It has also closed its manufacturing facilities until further notice as a result of the government-mandated lockdown. Now, it is expected to launch sometime in April or even May.
