Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) is set to launch the new-gen Verna in India on March 21, and ahead of its global debut, the carmaker has released a new teaser video revealing the cabin as well as the rear-end design of the sedan. The teaser video starts by showing off the new Verna's full-width LED tail lights as well as the front full-width LED DRL setup, then moves to the interior of the car, revealing the new steering wheel and the fully digital instrument cluster as well.
The steering wheel design looks brand new, unlike seen on any other Hyundai so far, but it does get the usual controls for switching infotainment system modes, Bluetooth, volume and more. The steering wheel also gets paddle shifters, and going by the fact that the model teased here gets the new 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine (160 PS/253 Nm), the gearbox is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT) unit, in all likelihood.
