The new Hyundai Verna is the culmination of more than 15 years of evolution. It now gets a new BS6 motor and some cosmetic tweaks as well. We find out what the 2020 Verna really has to offer

In the almost decade and a half that the Hyundai Verna has been in India it’s aged like a fine wine, getting better and better with every new rendition. Hyundai have not always got it ALL right but each new Verna has been decisively better than the last one. This year, the third generation of the Hyundai Verna has been given new BS6 compliant motors (both petrol and diesel) and a few tweaks inside and out. Question is, does it decisively best the car that it replaces? We spent a few days behind the wheel of the 2020 Verna diesel manual variant to find out exactly that.
