Hyundai is all set to launch an all-new Verna. The production of the 2023 model will start in India in March.
Hyundai has become a trustworthy brand in the Indian market. Many models from the South Korean automotive giant are doing quite well in the country. Now, Hyundai Motor India is planning to bring the new generation Verna to the country. The production of the 2023 version will start in India in March. It aims to produce around 70,000 units every year. Our dealership-level source reveals that the all-new 2023 Hyundai Verna will make its debut in March and go on sale in April of this year.

As per recent reports, Hyundai Verna will divide the production volumes into its two manufacturing plants in Irungattukottai and Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu in India. A major chunk of these units will be exported to the Middle East, Latin America, and other global markets. The company plans to make India a major export hub. Currently, Hyundai produces 40,000 units of the Verna every year and sells around 1603 units per month. Recently, the company stopped the production of the mid-size sedan at its St Petersburg plant in Russia due to the shortage in components.
The upcoming Verna has been in development for a while. Several test mules of the car have also been spotted. It is expected to be powered by a 1.5 TGDI turbo petrol engine that will offer 160 PS of peak power and 260–265 Nm of peak torque. It is not clear if it will be paired with a manual or a DCT transmission. However, the high output will make the new-gen Verna the most powerful car in the segment. The 1.4-liter engine (seen in Creta, Seltos, Alcazar, etc) is unlikely to pass the new RDE regulations under Phase II of the BS6 transition. The new rules will come into effect before April 2023.

Additionally, the 2023 Hyundai Verna will come with several design changes. It will feature a split headlight design with daytime running LEDs on top. The mid-size sedan will also sport a parametric grille (seen on the brand-new Tucson), a higher waistline, and new diamond-cut alloy wheels. For safety, the company is likely to add the Level 1 ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) technology to the all-new 2023 Hyundai Verna. Tell us what you think of the upcoming Verna.
