The new Verna has a fierce and bold design. It has Hyundai's renowned parametric jewel design language, which features sharp edges and lovely curves. The coupe-like sloping rear adds to the car's dynamic appearance. 

The 2023 Verna is a feature-packed mid-size sedan from the outside in. Yet, this is not unusual given that most Hyundai vehicles are loaded with features. The dark chrome parametric grille takes the car's sportiness to the next level, while the segment-first Horizon LED positioning lights and LED DRLs that run across the face give the car an extremely crisp appearance. 

The all-black 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels naturally complement the car's muscular attitude. At the back, you'll find adjustable LED taillamps connected by an LED strip. 

While the exteriors are stylish, the interiors are equally impressive. A segment-first motorised driver seat, heated and ventilated front seats, and a switchable touchscreen panel for infotainment and temperature control are included.

You get a 10.25-inch HD audio video navigation system, a digital cluster with a colourful TFT MID, and an 8-speaker Bose premium sound system. Other notable features include a wireless charger, an electric sunroof, and the best-in-segment 64 ambient light system. Bluelink communication technology has over 65 functionalities. There are also 118 inbuilt voice commands.

Six airbags, all three-point seatbelts, ABS with EBD, an emergency stop signal, headlamp escort function, automated headlights, ISOFIX, lane change indication, burglar alarm, rear defogger, keyless entry, and a rear parking sensor are among the 30 standard safety features.

Furthermore, there are 65 safety features in total, including ESC with VSM, hill starts assist control, all disc brakes, electric parking brakes, front parking sensors, cornering lighting, and TPMS (Highline). 

The 2023 Verna has two engine options. There is a 1.5-litre MPi petrol engine that produces 115PS of maximum power and 143.8Nm of peak torque and may be paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an IVT automated transmission.

Additionally, then there's the 1.5-litre Turbo GDi petrol engine, which produces 160PS of maximum power and 253Nm of peak torque and can be paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT. The Verna 1.5 Turbo GDi is also quite fast. It can sprint from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 8.1 seconds.
