Hyundai has taken the wraps off the new Verna sedan which we had told you about a little while back. The new Verna will be available with four engine options as expected viz. 1.4-litre, 107 PS and 1.6-litre, 123 PS petrol engines and 1.4-litre, 90 PS and 1.6-litre, 128 PS diesel mills. Both these options will be available across ten variants in all. The top end models of both 1.6-litre versions (petrol and diesel) will be available with an optional automatic transmission.
The new Verna claims to have earned a five star rating for safety as per the Chinese NCAP standards. To reassure this fact, the Verna comes with six airbags, ABS and EBD. Other features include an infotainment system compatible with USB, auxiliary input, iPod / iPhone, Bluetooth etc., keyless entry and ignition, leather interiors, climate control, a reversing camera and 16-inch alloys.
