When Honda launched the 2014 Honda City, Hyundai had to rethink how the popular Verna had to be marketed. For the first time, in a long time, Honda had a value for money sedan, loaded with features on easy on the pocket and it worried Hyundai a lot. It had given the Verna a facelift in 2013 but that could not alone fend off the competition from the Honda City. Now Hyundai has given the Verna range a revision to make it more competitive and the company hopes that this would help the Verna retain the sales throne in this segment, say hello to the 2014 Hyundai Verna.
Changes to the Verna range include the discontinuation of the Verna 1.4-litre VTVT EX and Verna 1.4-litre CRDi EX variants, which have been replaced by the CX variant which is more feature loaded. Apart from this major change, the other variants in the range have received changes too.
