</p><p>&nbsp; It has been quite some time now that the news of Hyundai Verna has been buzzing around. Meanwhile no official announcement has been yet made for India. Hyundai’s Fluidic design has been tried and well received. The design which did wonders when it was first introduced; even after longer run, was able to attract many buyers. Based on the Fluidic 2.0 design philosophy all the South Korean vehicles, irrespective of their segments, be it the Elite i20 or Creta are doing fairly good. The pre-facelift Verna was the first car in India from Hyundai to feature the Fluidic Design language and became more popular than its non-Fluidic predecessor. That said, current version has lost its charm amid the competition and fresher rivals.</p><p>&nbsp; The concept of the next-generation Verna made its world debut in April 2016 at the Beijing Motor Show. The production version looks almost the one like concept shown by the company. Most of the attention at the front is drawn by the new hexagonal grille which is closely flanked by the new, slender projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights. The rear features new LED tail lamps and a little stubby boot with an integrated lip spoiler. More or less it seems like extended version of existing Elite i20 with an identical front.</p><p>&nbsp; The car will be 4380mm long, 1728mm wide, 1460mm tall with wheelbase of 2600mm standing on 16" alloy wheels. Under the hood no new surprise is expected with same offering of 1.4L and 1.6L for both petrol and diesel motor respectively. Producing 106BHP with 135Nm torque and 121BHP with 155Nm of torque while running on petrol for 1.4L and 1.6L respectively. And diesel produces 89BHP with 220Nm of torque and 126BHP having 259Nm torque for 1.4L and 1.6L respectively. Both petrol and diesel chimneys are mated with option of 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic gearbox; the latter will replace the sluggish 4 speed tranny that's present in the existing model.</p><p>&nbsp; Hyundai will be willing to maintain the tag of offering the most gizmos in a car with features like sunroof and rear AC vents to make debut for the 1st time in Verna. According to the estimates, the 2017 Hyundai Verna price will be priced between 8 to 13 lakhs.</p><p>Image source: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.autohome.com.cn/news/201607/890729.html?pvareaid=101416">AutoHome</a></p><p></p>
