Can the New Hyundai Verna regain its lost grounds?

Honda City regularly clocking 7K+ units monthly and with the addition of Ciaz’s Z+ trims in January- its regular sales bumped to double last month, is there a room for new Verna? 

Hyundai is gearing-up to launch the updated 2015 Verna in the mid-size sedan segment next week. But considering the current scenario, it seems to be a hard nut to crack for the Korean automaker. Coming straightly to the point, Honda City is clocking the max numbers in the segment (7667 units in Jan 2015) while addition of a 7-inch touchscreen info system in the new top end variant of Ciaz - Z+, has helped Maruti Suzuki gain 6005 units of this sedan last month. Both of these cars have put a severe blow to Verna and it has been experiencing a deep trouble in its monthy sales figure, as on-going version is not capable enough to ward off the competition threw by these two. Will the launch of new Verna be able to stand against these duos. Lets 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 flamboyant touch to the new Verna.

Except these, there will be subtle changes to the interiors and reportedly, the driving dynamics have also been improved by the company. Furthermore, the facelift will carry forward the engine options of the on-going car, which indeed is not a 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 further, stay tuned to CarDekho!
