The 2026 Hyundai Verna facelift has been launched in India, marking a significant update in the popular sedan segment. With a price range between Rs 10.98 lakh and Rs 18.25 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Verna aims to compete effectively against rivals such as the Honda City, VW Virtus, and Skoda Slavia.

This updated model is available in six variants: HX2, HX4, HX6, HX6+, HX8, and HX10, providing customers with a variety of options to choose from. Notably, the facelift introduces two new color options: Classy Blue and Titan Grey Matte, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

Under the hood, the new Verna is powered by a choice of two engines: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 115 hp and 144 Nm of torque, and a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine that delivers 160 hp and 253 Nm of torque. This range of powertrains is designed to cater to different driving preferences.

Safety features have also been significantly upgraded, with the new Verna including a Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite and seven airbags, ensuring enhanced protection for occupants. The interior has been modernized with dual 10.25-inch screens and a new D-cut steering wheel, providing a more contemporary driving experience.

Additional features such as a powered tailgate and a built-in dashcam further elevate the Verna’s appeal in a competitive market. The trunk capacity stands at 528 litres, offering ample space for luggage.

Deliveries for the new Verna are expected to start by the end of the month, allowing eager customers to experience the latest enhancements firsthand. As the automotive market continues to evolve, the updated Verna is poised to make a significant impact.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the long-term reception of the facelifted model and its performance against established competitors. However, Hyundai’s commitment to innovation and safety is evident in this latest offering.
