Hyundai’s compact sedan for India, the Verna, is all set to be launched in its sixth-generation avatar this March (March 21 to be precise). The carmaker has already opened bookings for the new model and has now shared another set of its design sketches.

The images show us the front and side profiles of the sedan. The sixth-gen model features a ‘Parametric Jewel’ design for its grille, similar to the new Tucson and globally sold seventh-gen Elantra. Other design elements include a long LED DRL strip running the width of the front fascia as seen on the Staria MPV, the ADAS radar in the bumper and three-piece headlight units.

In profile, the sedan sports multiple sharp lines and dapper alloy wheels, while also showing its sloping roofline and increased length. While there’s no clear look of the rear, previously released teaser image had indicated a connected LED taillight setup, similar to the new Elantra.

No interior sketches have been shared as yet. While the sixth-gen Verna is likely to carry over the existing model’s features list, it should also come with a bigger touchscreen unit and a digital driver’s display. The existing model’s equipment includes ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging, a single-pane sunroof, and paddle shifters. 

The new Verna’s safety kit will boast of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It should also include six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and front and rear parking sensors.

With the generation upgrade, Hyundai’s compact sedan will lose out on the diesel engine option altogether. It will come with two petrol engines – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated unit (115PS/144Nm) and a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (possibly tuned to make 159PS/253Nm) – the latter making its debut in India. While a six-speed manual will be offered as standard with both engines, their automatic options will be CVT and seven-speed DCT, respectively.

Hyundai will sell the new Verna in four trims: EX, S, SX and SX(O). We expect the carmaker to price the new sedan from Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom). The sixth-gen Verna will take on the facelifted Honda City, Volkswagen Virtus, Maruti Ciaz and Skoda Slavia.
