Hyundai Motor India on Monday officially opened bookings for the incoming 2023 Verna sedan model. The bookings for the updated Hyundai Verna have been opened for ₹25,000 and can be reserved either at the company dealerships across the country or on the official website.
Verna was first launched 16 years back and has since found 4.6 lakh takers. But recent times have been tough as the the mid-size sedan space in which it competes has been shrinking and making way for SUVs of all shapes and across price brackets. But the updated Verna could inject a fresh lease of life, specially because it has been much-liked for its sporty styling as well as engaging drive dynamics, now with the additional promise of more cabin space at the rear.
