Korea: Hyundai unveils refreshed Verna Transform

Hyundai Motor has officially unveiled the Verna Transform for the South Korean market today. Essentially a facelift of the Verna, known around the world as the Accent, the new subcompact receives a batch of exterior and interior upgrades along with fuel economy improvements.

Outside, the Verna Transform receives a myriad of changes including a more aggressive front fascia (redesigned front bumper and headlights), revised front grille, and side mirror repeaters. It also receives a sportier rear fascia with redesigned taillights and a tweaked rear bumper. Inside, the Verna Transform packs a revised center stack, USB/AUX inputs, standard PowerBass subwoofer, Bluetooth connectivity, and blue instrumentation lighting instead of the current green.

Under the hood, all Verna Transform models comes standard with ECO Assist, which helps drivers drive more efficiently and consequently save fuel. All powertrains also receive fuel economy improvements.

The Verna Transform will commence sales across South Korea from today. Pricing has been bumped in minor increments, and ranges from 9.73 million Won for the base 1.4 Trendy model to 13.74 million Won for the diesel-powered 1.5 Premier. We expect that this refresh will carry over to North American markets for the 2010 model year, in time for the Accent's long overdue MMC (minor model change).
