JAKARTA - South Korean vehicle manufacturer Hyundai released the second teaser from the production of their latest car, Verna. Not only the exterior is displayed, Hyundai shows its interior.

Hyundai introduces its newest generation car in the view of a video. He displayed the car in the interior and exterior. This car has a new 1.5 liter turbo variant, also offering three driving modes, namely Eco, Normal, and Sport.

Verna has a large body dimension of 4,535 mm, a width of 1,765 mm, a height of 1,475 mm and a wheelbase of 2,670 mm. With the release of Verna, Hyundai hopes that the car can replace Elantra, which is no longer produced.

The car has the philosophy of the "Sensous Sportiness" brand that inspired the car's shape. A large grille was shown at Verna with LED lights on the front and back in the form of an L with the back of the LED lightbar.

In the interior, Verna carries a dual tone theme with black and cream colors. Meanwhile, for other variants, use artificial leather interiors.

In the engine, Hyundai presents two versions of Verna, namely low-spec and high-spec versions. Both are gasoline-fueled. For the low-spec version, it will come with a 1.5-liter natural engine. As for high-spec, it has a 1.5 liter turbo engine with 160 dk power. Of course, the power is much larger when compared to Elantra 147 dk.

Hyundai also offers several gearbox options for Verna, namely Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and Dual Clunch Transmission (DCT) available for 1.5 natural liters and 1.5 turbo.

It is known that Verna will open shipments in India in mid-April 2023. There has been no further confirmation whether the car will be sold in Indonesia or not.
