Next-Gen Hyundai Verna To Debut At 2016 Chengdu Motor Show

The next-generation Hyundai Verna will have its world debut at the 2016 Chengdu Motor Show on September 2, in China. The sedan has been spotted in posters at the venue of the show.The concept version of the 2017 Verna also made its world debut in China at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show. It will go sale later this year in China and is expected to be launched in India in 2017.

In India, the current-generation Verna was once the segment best seller, until the fourth-generation Honda City came into the picture. Its sales took a further blow when Maruti Suzuki introduced the Ciaz and later on the mild-hybrid version of the same. Even the mid-life update of Verna (came out in 2015) was unable to boost its sales figures. The sales figures cloaked by the current-gen Verna are no match to the figures attained by the older model. Hyundai also changed its name to ‘Verna 4S’ from Fluidic Verna with the introduction of the facelift. The automaker soon added features such as a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment, shark-fin antenna and others to the facelifted version, but Verna’s sales never really picked up.

Now, the 2017 Verna is coming with all guns blazing. The 2017 sedan has now adopted Hyundai’s latest – Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 – design language, making it look similar to the latest Hyundai sedans such as the recently launched 2016 Elantra and the global Sonata. The new Verna was spied without any camouflage in July. Check out more pictures and what it has to offer in terms of design, features, and mechanicals: 2017 Hyundai Verna – This Is It!
