The Beijing Auto Show 2010 is drawing a bit of attention with really nice vehicles being launched by most of the global majors and recently Hyundai has come up in the news with the launch of 2011 Hyundai Verna which could be the next future car.
The car is the result of a 5 year extensive research including exhaustive surveys and trend studies to meet the local requirements of the Chinese market and is targeted at the China’s most important C1 segment.
Euisun Chung, Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor said at the 2010 Beijing auto show,”Today is a really special day for us, not only because we’re launching a new car, but because it’s one of the very few times we’ve done a world-premiere outside of Korea: And we chose to do it right here in China because it’s our way of recognizing how important our Chinese customers are to us.In 2009 we posted a 94 percent Year-on-Year growth in China and have sold over 2 million cars since arriving in 2002. We are not losing any momentum, continuing to expand our lineup in China with our most stylish and advanced models like the all-new Verna and our compact SUV,”
