2017 Hyundai Verna To Launch On August 22; Official Bookings Open
Unlike before, there’s no full-spec diesel automatic trim, the Auto SX+ will offer more goodies than the SX trim, but surely not as much as the SX(O). The petrol, on the other hand, is now available in the range-topping SX(O) trim, which was not the case with the previous model.
Five New Colours, A Sunroof And Relatively Limited Variants Only With The 1.6-Litre Petrol And Diesel Engines, The All-New Verna Is Coming All Guns Blazing!
Though the unofficial bookings for the 2017 fifth-generation Hyundai Verna started around mid-July, the automaker has now commenced official bookings for the same. It can be pre-booked for Rs 25,000 for ‘assured early delivery’ till August 21. It will be launched later this month on August 22. It is based on an all-new K2 platform which features around 50% of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS).
Engine And Transmission
- 1.6-litre Dual VTVT: 123PS and 155Nm (6-speed MT/AT)
- 1.6-litre U2 CRDi VGT: 128PS and 260Nm (6-speed MT/AT)
While a 6-speed manual is now standard across the range (earlier the 1.6-litre petrol was mated to a 5-speed manual), an optional 6-speed automatic transmission has replaced the ancient 4-speed auto. The same drivetrain options are offered with the 2017 Verna in the Russian market as well, where it is known as Solaris.
