Hyundai introduced the mid-life update of the Verna last year in February and is now dubbed as Verna 4S. The sedan is available in the price band of Rs 7.60 - 13.08 lakh. Like before, it largely competes with the Honda City and the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz along with other midsize sedans. The 4S comes with a fresh new face, while the side and the rear profiles were largely unchanged; save for the new graphics for the taillamps and subtle changes to the rear bumper. The facelift has also added new feature including six airbags ( re-added) . While a few features were added this year as well, for example, the touchscreen infotainment system with rearview camera. Mechanically, the Verna 4S is available with four ( two each of petrol and diesel) engine options. On the petrol front, it gets a 1.4-litre which produces 107PS and 135Nm of torque, while the 1.6-litre is good for 123PS and 155Nm of torque. The diesel variants are available with a 1.4-litre CRDi and a 1.6-litre CRDi motor choices. The former produces 90PS and 220Nm of torque, while the latter musters 128PS and 260Nm of torque. Recently, the production-spec next-generation 2017 Verna has been spied inside-out in China, which is expected to come next year in India.
