India’s two highly popular mid-size sedans – Honda City and Hyundai Verna – will receive updates sometime next year. Both models are currently in their testing phase and caught on camera multiple times. While the Verna will witness a generation change, the City will come with slightly improved design and feature upgrades. Here’re some key details we know so far about the 2023 Hyundai Verna and 2023 Honda City.
2023 Hyundai Verna
Hyundai’s popular mid-size sedan will come with significantly improved design inspired by the new-generation Tucson. The all-new Verna will feature the brand’s new ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design language along with elements such as a new parametric-jewel pattern grille with turn-signal integration, split LED headlamps and revised bumper at the front end. It will also have newly-designed alloy wheels, a tapered roof, a shark fin antenna, high-tech “H-Tail Lamp” and wing-type lower bumper. Compared to the current generation, the new one will be bigger and more spacious. Major feature upgrade will come in the form of ADAS (advanced driver assistance system). The sedan will also offer updated BlueLink connectivity, wireless charging, a fully digital instrument cluster and ventilated seats. The 2023 Hyundai Verna will continue to come with the 1.5L petrol, 1.4L turbo petrol and 1.5L diesel engines. More details here…
2023 Honda City
The Japanese automaker has started testing the City facelift in India. The sedan’s updated model is expected to hit showrooms sometime next year. Looking at the spy images, one can notice the larger black grille that misses out on the thick chrome bar. The new 2023 Honda City facelift will get updated front bumper and fog lamps, massive air dams, new set of alloy wheels and updated taillamps. Inside, there could be an updated infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity and new connected car tech. Speculations are on rife that the new City could be offered with the ADAS suite along with a bunch of new features. No changes are likely to be made to its powertrain. Though, the company will discontinue the City diesel model. More details here…
