Hyundai Verna Facelift India launch on 18th February

New Hyundai Verna Facelift Launching on February 18, 2015, reveals Hyundai India. The Verna has always been among the top-selling cars for the South Korean carmaker in India, but it lost its position to the new-gen City. And post the Maruti Ciaz launch, its positioned weakened further, so with the updated Verna, Hyundai is now aiming to regain its lost ground in the segment.

Already on sale in Russia as ‘Solaris’, the India-bound model is likely to take its design inspiration from the former. The new model will feature Hyundai’s Fluidic 2.0 design philosophy, which will make it look similar to the new-gen Sonata.

While the Hyundai gave it a much needed Fluidic look in 2011, not much has been changed ever since. And now after 4 years of its launch, Hyundai has decided to give a facelift to this popular sedan.
