For the first time, the New 2026 Hyundai Verna Facelift has been spied in spy shots during testing.
The current Verna was launched in India in 2023 with a major update. The test mule that was spotted was in camouflage, but some key changes are expected.
In the exterior design, it is expected that the Verna facelift could get new tweaked headlamps, revised front & rear bumpers, and new alloy wheels.
Nothing was seen in the spy shots of the interior, but some subtle changes are expected in the dashboard design as well.
And yes, Hyundai can also add some new features to the already feature-rich Verna so that people like it even more. Like:
Big 12.3-inch touchscreen & digital instrument cluster (like the one currently available on the Kia Syros).
Rear ventilated seats could also be an interesting addition to the facelift.
