This dip can also be blamed onto the XCD 135 which has been doing really well, thanks to a great overall package. So now that the 125 is gone and the 135 is doing a fairly good job as an executive commuter, Bajaj has decided to 'exceed' its customer's expectations by launching a new, sportier variant based on the XCD135 platform!

Just like the ‘A-Star’ is actually the current Alto and the Laura, is actually the current Octavia, the Verna is actually the current Hyundai Accent for the rest of the world. But, it has been renamed as ‘Verna’ so that Hyundai can keep selling the old Accent in India as well.
