Hyundai is reportedly launching the BS-6 compliant Verna petrol by the Auto Expo 2020. It will use Seltos’s new 1.5 Litre petrol engine.
A fresh report states that BS-6 Hyundai Verna petrol will be launched before the Auto Expo 2020 commences, mostly in January. The BS-6 Verna will be based on the current outgoing version and not the upcoming facelift showcased in the global markets.
Hyundai will use the BS-6 compliant 1.5 Litre petrol engine from the Kia Seltos. The engine produces 115 BHP and 144 Nm of peak torque and the same specs will be seen on the Verna. It is likely to get transmission options of a 6-speed manual and a CVT gearbox.
There are rumours as well that some dealers have unofficially stopped taking bookings for the BS-4 models and is allowing buyers to book for BS-6 models. We are yet to confirm on this development and will revert on it soon.

The 1.5 Litre four-cylinder diesel engine will produce 115 BHP and 250 Nm of peak torque. It is likely to come with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed AT.
