Hyundai is gearing-up to launch the
updated 2015 Verna into
the mid-size sedan segment next week. But considering the current scenario -
Honda City clocking the max numbers in the segment (7667 units in Jan 2015) and
addition of a 7-inch touchscreen info system enabled new top end of Ciaz - Z+
in January has resulted in 6005 units last month. Speaking of the Verna sales, on-going car’s
sales were dipping ever since the launch of City an year before and Ciaz
further bruised the sales of the Korean sedan, with this massive facelift can
it enjoy the position once Verna
gloated. Let’s find out!
The
facelifted Verna which is
launching in India is already on sale in the neighbouring countries (facelift
debuted in Russia first, known as Solaris there). Now, what sets it apart from
its arch rivals is the addition of new features, Hyundais are known to bring
segment first features ever since, and the new Verna is no exception. Like the
Solaris, apart from the fresh new face, 2015 Verna will get segment first
daytime running LEDs along with LED tail lamps. Like the current car the
facelift will also sport projector headlamps which are still a rare feature in
the segment. All these features add a
flamboyance touch to the new Verna.
Except
these, there will be subtle changes to the interiors and reportedly the driving
dynamics have also improved by the company. Furthermore, the facelift will
carry forward the engine options of the on-going car, which indeed is not bad
thing as Verna
possesses one of the most powerful engines in the segment. In a nutshell, Verna
facelift seems interesting but pricing and final details will clear things
more, stay tuned to CarDekho!
