Hyundai India is prepping-up for the Verna facelift, the refreshed sedan is likely to launch early next year. Verna received a serious blow from the new Honda City lately, which dethroned it from segment leader position. While Maruti Suzuki Ciaz has added fuel to the fire. Moreover, the segment is also crowded with refreshed rivals.

But Hyundai India has started testing facelifted Verna, initial test mules were fully camouflaged while recently undisguised pictures of the upcoming sedan are pouring-in. Moreover, this year Hyundai updated Solaris in Russia (Verna is known as Solaris there) and it looks like similar changes are adorned by our Verna as well. The updated Hyundai Verna is coming with refreshes inside-out while mechanical changes are likely on the cards. 

On the design front, Verna facelift gets a new face - featuring twin-slat chrome grille, new swept-back projector headlamps and the refreshed bumper is likely to offers fog lamps with daytime-running-LEDs just like the Solaris. The changes to the rear profile are limited compared to the front, it could feature LED taillamps like its Russian twin while bumper gets twin fogs. On the inside, Verna facelift offers elusive changes to the overall design expect few additions to the already high list of features.

Mechanically, the refreshed Verna is borrowing the outgoing models engine lineup. So the engine on offer will be 1.4L/1.6L petrol and diesel. Speaking of the transmission, Hyundai India currently offers Verna with 5-Speed MT and 4-Speed AT while diesel is offered with 6-Speed MT and 4-Speed AT. Now, like its Russian counterpart a more efficient and modern 6-speed AT is likely to chip-in to replace the ancient 4-Speed AT, while manual is expected to remain unaltered both in petrol and diesel guise. Moreover, seeing the fuel efficiency war that’s going on in the segment, expect the new Verna to extract more per km!
