Hyundai are readying the next-gen Verna for the Indian market and it is likely to go on sale in mid-2023. The new Verna will offer a host of changes in terms of dimensions, design and features, giving potential Verna buyers several reasons to wait for the new model to arrive on our shores. However, the biggest talking point of the new Verna could be its length, as we expect it to measure as long as the now-discontinued Hyundai Elantra.

It is worth noting that all the rivals of the current-gen Verna measure more than 4.5 metres in length, save for the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. The new Verna is also likely to measure over 4.5 metres in length and it could even measure as long as the previous generation Hyundai Elantra. The previous-gen Elantra measured 4620mm in length.

Take a look at the dimensions of the current-gen Verna over its rivals:

Speaking of exterior details, the new Verna will offer a split LED headlight design with the LED DRLs sitting at the edges of the bonnet. Its design will take heavy inspiration from the new Elantra, which is on sale globally. At the rear, the new Verna will get connected LED tail lights with Verna lettering spread across the lightbar.
