New Hyundai Verna: In the realm of the mid-size sedans, the Verna by Hyundai has done it all, delivering style, comfort and modern tech in a mono product that’s gotten better with every iteration in India.
Ford also has its Flame of Freedom campaign that will ignite its point of view of driving this Diwali So, have Diwali of all Diwalis with new 2024 Verna, which is not just about commuting from point A to B, but doing that in style, with more comfort and just a hint of sportiness to it.”
New Hyundai Verna An Edgier Style That Gets Noticed
The new Verna comes with a more futuristic design and that is the first thing that strikes you about this car. Hyundai has fully embraced the ’Sensuous Sportiness’ design language, and it shows.
That bold front grille, the slim LED headlamps and that bold horizontal LED light bar provide the sedan with a kind of presence you won’t mistake.
It looks premium despite the price tag, thanks to a coupe-like profile and sharp character lines, especially from the side. And at the rear, integrated tail-lamps and smooth looking bumper complete a car that appears to have been plucked right out of a concept gallery.
This isn’t boring old Verna you rode a decade ago—it’s sassy, it’s confident and it sure as hell looks striking in the parking lot.
Roomy Cabin With Plenty of Cargo Space
The story gets even stronger when you step inside. The 2024 Verna is larger, wider and with an increase wheelbase, it should have more space, especially for rear passengers, on the inside. Hyundai seems to have focused deliberately on comfort, and it shows, thanks to generously padded seating, plenty of legroom, and nice, soft-touch materials in all the right places.
The two-tone dashboard seems contemporary, with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen matched to a digital driver’s display.
Cool stuff such as ventilated front seats, a power driver seat, ambient lighting, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay help make for one of the more tech-savvy cabins in this part of the market.
You even have L2 ADAS features available in the top end of the model line-up—yes, in a Verna. This even encompasses lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, which is a major win for safety-minded shoppers.
Engines That Match Your Mood
Beneath the bonnet: Hyundai’s options are limited to two petrol engines. It is refined and smooth.these engine is perfect for city cruising and daily usage. But it’s the 1.5L turbo-petrol motor making 160 PS that’s a bit of a rockstar.
Mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT, this makes the Verna genuinely quick.
Whether darting through city traffic or cruising on the highway, the turbo model adds a level of excitement that most rivals in this price range can’t match. But, with all that power, it still gives a good fuel economy number – That’s another plus point.
Ride and Handling: Pleasing, Not Teasing
Hyundai has the suspension tuned for comfort, and it shows. The Verna takes potholes and bad stretches well, especially at lower speeds. It might not be quite as sharp around corners as some enthusiasts would like, but it’s predictable and stable at speed.
The steering is also better — more responsive than old models and even a little relaxed.
Safety Comes Standard
Beyond ADAS, Hyundai has not scrimped on fundamentals of safety. The six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill-start assist and rear-view camera are standard across the range, too. Higher trims throw in a few extras, so you have everything you need even if there’s no need to jump for the top-end model.

New Hyundai Verna Verdict: A Statement on Two Wheels
The Hyundai Verna is not just a mid-size sedan; it’s how Hyundai talks back to that one time when sedans went south and crossovers came through. Its a car that combines style, performance, comfort and technology, in a form that actually is luxurious.
The Verna should figure very high up on the shortlist if you want a car that has both a strong core and superfluous flash and not end up looking like one placed over the other.
