It’s a fact now that Hyundai’s Fluidic design did wonders when it was first introduced; even with its second inning, the design was able to impress most of the buyers. Based on the fluidic 2.0 design philosophy all the South Korean vehicles, irrespective of their segments, be it the Elite i20 or the Creta are doing fairly good. The pre-facelift Verna was the first car in India from Hyundai to feature the Fluidic Design language and because of its design, it became more popular than its non Fluidic predecessor. Although, the current facelifted version -- the Verna 4S was unable to attain the same popularity as that of its predecessor, courtesy its looks.
The first sedan to adopt Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design language was the new Sonata. However, the most striking one is the new Elantra, which is a looker. The good news is that the 2017 Verna closely resembles it. The grilles of both the upcoming Elantra and the Verna oddly resemble the ones that Audis sport, which is probably a result of roping in the man who was behind the design of several Audi models (including the original TT) and the upcoming Tucson – Peter Schreyer.
The concept of the next-generation Verna made its world debut in April at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show. The spied production version looks quite identical to the concept, sans (obviously) the show car shenanigans. Most of the real estate at the front is occupied by the new hexagonal grille which is closely flanked by the new, slender, swept-back projector headlamps with daytime running LEDs. The sides feature a more accentuated coupe-like roofline in contrast to the current model, along with redesigned diamond-cut alloys. The rear features wraparound LED tail lamps and a little stubby boot with an integrated lip spoiler.
The overall length of the new Verna has increased slightly (5mm), along with a substantial increment in wheelbase and width – 30mm and 28mm, respectively, over the current car.
