Hyundai has unveiled the 2026 Verna facelift in India, kicking off at ₹10.98 lakh (ex-showroom). While it retains much of its familiar charm, the refreshed Verna brings subtle design tweaks, new features, and updated variants that make it an exciting option in the mid-size sedan segment. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.

Sleek Looks, Same Comfortable Dimensions

Dimensionally, the facelifted Verna sticks to the numbers we know: 4,565 mm long, 1,765 mm wide, 1,475 mm tall, with a 2,670 mm wheelbase and a 528-litre boot. But Hyundai has added a touch of freshness up front — think larger headlamps, a slightly revised bumper, and a familiar blacked-out grille with a full-width LED DRL strip.

The side profile keeps its sporty cuts, now paired with refreshed 16-inch alloy wheels, while the rear retains the signature light bar connecting the tail lamps and the iconic ‘VERNA’ lettering.

New exterior color options, Classy Blue and Titan Grey Matte, join the existing Starry Night, Atlas White, and Abyss Black shades, giving buyers more ways to express their style.

Interior: Familiar Comfort with Smart Upgrades

Step inside, and the dual-tone black-and-white theme is as inviting as ever. Hyundai has given the steering wheel a subtle twist with the new Morse code Hyundai logo, a nod to their futuristic designs in models like the Ioniq 5 and Creta Electric.

The facelift adds some thoughtful creature comforts:

• 4-way electrically adjustable front passenger seat with Boss mode
• Memory function for the 8-way electrically adjustable driver seat
• Powered tailgate and rear window sunshades

Core features like the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment, digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, single-pane sunroof, and automatic climate control remain, making every ride connected and comfortable.

Safety: Top-Notch Protection

Hyundai continues to prioritize safety. The Verna offers:

• 6 airbags (7 on top variant)
• 360-degree camera with blind spot monitoring
• Level 2 ADAS safety suite
• Electronic stability control, front & rear parking sensors, TPMS, and more

Engine Options: No Changes, Plenty of Power

Under the hood, the Verna keeps its tried-and-tested engines:

• 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol: 115 PS, 144 Nm, paired with 6-speed MT or CVT
• 1.5-litre turbo petrol: 160 PS, 253 Nm, paired with 6-speed MT or 7-speed DCT

Whether you prefer smooth city cruising or zippy performance, there’s an option for you.

Variants and Price

The new Verna comes in six variants: HX2, HX4, HX6, HX6 Plus, HX8, and HX10, priced as follows (in ₹ lakh, ex-showroom):

With this lineup, the 2026 Verna facelift takes on rivals like the Honda City, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus with style, features, and comfort.

Final Thoughts

The 2026 Hyundai Verna facelift may not be a complete redesign, but it smartly balances refined aesthetics, feature upgrades, and safety. For buyers seeking a modern sedan that’s comfortable, stylish, and reliable, the Verna remains a strong contender in its segment.
