Verna-Based Hyundai Reina Unveiled At The 2017 Chongqing Motor Show

- The Hyundai Reina is based on the fourth-generation Hyundai Verna
- The Reina is likely to go on sale in the Chinese market later this year
- The Hyundai Reina will not come to India
Similar to the Verna, the Hyundai Reina is built of the Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design philosophy so you will notice a lot of design similarities. Dimensionally, the car is pretty much identical to the Verna sedan but features new styling cues. Up front, the car comes with a relatively new face, equipped with the company's signature cascading grille with mesh pattern and chrome surrounds. The grille is flanked by large sweptback headlights with halogen lamps. The bumper design is quite aggressive and comes with angular lines that add a bit of muscle to the car's front end. There are trapezoidal foglamps housed within the black insert and a sleek central airdam for increased air inflow.

The profile of the car shows many similarities to the Verna but the Reina comes with its own unique stylings like - the new simple alloy wheels, subtle character lines, smaller front overhangs and so on. The rear is completely new and shows no similarities, what so ever, to the Verna. The boot lid is large and beefy and the wraparound taillamps are simple and neat. The rear bumper, similar to the one up front, comes with muscular lines that complete the overall design. As this is still a pre-production prototype of the car, the interiors haven't been revealed yet.

Under the hood, the new Hyundai Reina will feature a 1.4-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that is likely to churn out 95 bhp. The engine will come paired to either a 5-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed automatic.
