Hyundai will be launching the new-generation Verna in India on August 22nd. Here is a closer look at the new features which will be offered with the new Verna. Some of these features will be also offered for the first time in the segment.

New Automatic Transmission

The previous generation Hyundai Verna was offered with only a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The new Verna will feature a brand new 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. This new automatic transmission will be mated to both 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engine options. The smaller 1.4-litre petrol and diesel engines will be discontinued when the new car is introduced.

The system will be offered as standard and will feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with Bluetooth, AUX and USB inputs. Satellite Navigation will also be offered with the system in select variants.

Electric Sunroof

The system is extremely intelligent and convenient – in case your hands are full with luggage and the key fob is in your pocket, standing behind the car for a few seconds will automatically open it up electronically, otherwise, a gentle nudge to the boot will do the trick. The smart electric boot lid feature is provided for the first time in the segment.
