A black and red exterior and interior theme will set it apart from regular petrol variants.
The all-new Hyundai Verna is just around the corner with its global debut slated for tomorrow. In the lead up to the launch, new, and more detailed spy images of both the petrol and turbo-petrol variants have emerged on the internet. The new spy shots reveal that the two powertrains will have different exterior and interior treatment. Let’s take a closer look at it here.

- Verna turbo will come with black alloys, red callipers
- Minor differences in equipment list expected
Hyundai Verna petrol vs turbo-petrol: exterior and interior
Hyundai seems to have adopted a similar strategy like Volkswagen has done with the Virtus with clear visual differentiation between the petrol and turbo-petrol variants. The spy images reveal blacked-out alloy wheels with red brake callipers for the 1.5 turbo-petrol variants, and a similar treatment has also been meted out to the interior with all-black colour scheme and red highlights. This is quite similar to what Volkswagen offers with the Virtus GT.
Previously spied interior images have also revealed a dual-tone black and beige interior theme which will likely be offered on the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol variants. Meanwhile, the wheels will have a dual-tone silver and dark grey finish with regular callipers. Hyundai also does a similar thing with naturally aspirated petrol and turbo-petrol variants of the Creta.
New spy shots confirm more features
The new spy shots also reveal an electronic parking brake with auto hold feature for the DCT automatic variants while the manual versions will come with a regular handbrake. Furthermore, the dual, 10.25-inch screens will likely be reserved for top-spec trims – lower and mid-spec trims will get a smaller infotainment screen with larger bezels in the same housing.
Other features that can be confirmed from the spy images are drive modes, parking assist feature, and ventilated front seats. Higher-spec variants of the Verna will also come equipped with ADAS features.
Hyundai Verna: powertrain specifications
As we already know, the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine on the Verna will produce 160hp and 253Nm, while the naturally aspirated petrol engine will produce 115hp and 144Nm of torque. While both engines will be paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, the NA and turbo will get a CVT and DCT as an option, respectively.
New Hyundai Verna variants and rivals
The next-gen Verna will be offered in four trims – EX, S, SX and SX (O). Expect it to be priced roughly Rs 60,000-1 lakh more than the current model, depending on the variant. Once launched, it will rival the facelifted Honda City, Volkswagen Virtus, Skoda Slavia and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz.
