To ensure the safety of occupants in the cabin, Hyundai says that the new Verna has been designed to offer structural rigidity with increased thickness at the side profiles thanks to reinforced material introduced to the centre and front floor. The sedan's IoT-enabled body-build line features 100 per cent welding automation, while more than 450 intelligent robots claim to handle the welding and other processes.
Hyundai also claims to have used techniques like 3D scanning and infrared camera inspection to ensure Verna's good build quality. More than 700 units of fourth-generation robots are engaged at the manufacturing facility to automate various manufacturing processes.
The latest Verna will have a 10.25-inch HD infotainment screen and a digital cluster with TFT MID. It will also get a first-in-segment switchable type infotainment and climate controller. Additionally, the Verna 2023 will get ventilated and heated front seats, another first-in-segment feature. An eight-speaker Bose sound system will also be a part of the feature list, claims the automaker.
The midsize sedan competing with rivals like Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and Honda City gets power from a 1.5-litre turbo GDi petrol engine, producing a maximum power of 160 PS at 5,500 rpm and max torque of 253 Nm at 1,500-3,500 rpm.
