With these kind of looks, the Hyundai Verna / Accent certainly needs something more punchy than the stock 1.5 T-GDi engine that makes 158 hp

The new generation of the 2024 Hyundai Verna / Accent debuted earlier this year as a sharp-looking affordable small sedan focused on emerging markets. Despite its budget-friendly character, digital artist Zephyr Designz envisioned a performance version of the Verna with a wild bodykit that would put a BMW M3 to shame.
The visual modifications on the Hyundai Verna are quite extensive, with only the LED lighting units, greenhouse, door handles, and mirrors remaining untouched. The highlight is probably the ultra-wide front and rear fenders, sticking out of the bodywork. Their shape is inspired by the sharp Lamborghini Urus-style surfacing of the original and sends strong racecar vibes. At the front, the redesigned bumper has larger intakes and a splitter, while the tail features a generously sized diffuser, dual exhaust pipes, and a discreet lip spoiler.

The most hardcore Verna rides on a set of 21-inch Asanti Black Label rims shod in Advan Neova tires. Finally, the suspension has been significantly lowered compared to stock and the tracks are a lot wider in order for the massive wheels to align with the fender extensions. The creator of the digital-only build didn’t mention any performance upgrades but with this looks the sedan certainly needs something more impressive than the 1.5 T-GDi engine that produces 158 hp (118 kW / 160 PS) right from the factory.
There is no sign that Hyundai will make a sporty N-Line or a full-blown N version of the Verna, but that didn’t stop fans of the brand hoping for something spicier. Vishnu Suresh, who goes under the nickname Zephyr Designz on Instagram and YouTube, gave them something to dream about with his “hardcore bodykit” for the small sedan.
The digital artist is known for applying extreme modifications to production vehicles like the Kia EV6 GT Time Attack Monster or the slamed Mahindra Scorpio N with a Hemi V8 engine swap. More recently, he created sporty versions of the VW Virtus and Skoda Slavia siblings, proposing an imaginary rivalry in the small sedan segment.
