The second largest car-maker Hyundai India on Tuesday rolled out its 5 millionth car, a new generation Verna.

Commenting on the milestone, Hyundai Motor India managing director and chief executive YK Koo claimed that this is the fastest growth in the domestic car space.

“Today we are very happy to roll out the 5 millionth car with the NextGen Verna, the fastest in the industry symbolising our long-term commitment to this market. We will continue this momentum with strong efforts towards customer delight,” Koo said in a statement.
