Hyundai India has updated its Verna midsize sedan with a new colour, and a rear spoiler. Barring the entry-level variant, the prices of all other variants have increased by Rs 4,000. While the Verna’s starting price of Rs 11 lakh (for the EX variant with the 1.5-litre petrol engine and manual gearbox) remains the same, the top-spec variant (the SX(O) DT with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine and dual-clutch auto gearbox) is now priced at Rs 17.48 lakh.

- Rear spoiler gives the impression of being a split unit

The new colour addition – called Amazon Grey – to the Verna’s range gives buyers eight monotone exterior options to choose from. The two dual-tone exterior finishes – Atlas white with black roof and Fiery red with black roof – are unchanged, and only offered on the turbo-petrol variants. Interestingly, one pays the same amount for the dual-tone and monotone variants.
Coming to the new rear spoiler, Hyundai has added a unit that looks a bit like an aftermarket one, and gives the impression of being a split spoiler.
The Hyundai Verna sees no other changes. It continues with the 115hp, 1.5-litre petrol eigine that has 6-speed manual and CVT options, and the 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine that comes with 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch auto options. The Korean brand’s mid-size sedan rivals the Volkswagen Virtus, Honda City, Maruti Ciaz and Skoda Slavia.
