The current generation Verna made its debut at the Chengdu Motor Show back in September 2016 and has received a facelift after a span of 3 years. The new model boast noticeable changes with front-end getting reminiscent of the China-only Hyundai Lafesta. The new grille, headlamps and bumper infuse together to make the fascia much sharper.
The rear-end is again very much inspired from the Lafesta and the new Sonata with slim connected tail lamps, integrated boot lid spoiler and chiseled bumper that features a sporty rear diffuser design with a central stop light underneath and vertically aligned reflectors tucked into the sides.
Although the interior of the Hyundai Verna facelift is not a complete redesign, it does feature a new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster. The China-spec Verna is equipped well with features such as ventilated front seats, sunroof, wireless charging pad, auto AC, cruise control and up to 6 airbags.
Hyundai Verna in China comes available with naturally aspirated 1.4 liter and 1.6 liter petrol engines paired to either a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. Verna has been a popular subcompact in key markets; however the current design updates are likely to remain specific to the Chinese market. For other parts of the world the design treatment is expected to be less outlandish.
