Hyundai has been quietly testing the Verna facelift for months. Recently a test mule popped up in a parking lot in South Korea. Ordinary day, you’d think. But the spy images? They tell a different story. This is not just a minor refresh. It’s sleeker, smarter, and yes, a bit sporty too.
Dual-Screen Cabin Steals the Show
Step inside. And boom. The dual-screen display catches your eye instantly. One screen for the driver. One for infotainment. Feels techy. Feels premium. Very Hyundai.

The interior is mostly black. But then little red accents. Red stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. New flat-bottom wheel with a square hub? Yup. Sporty. Aluminum pedals. Seats that actually feel comfy on long drives. Hyundai didn’t just update the looks they thought about the feel.
Engine and Gearbox Choices
Under the hood, there’s a 1.5-litre rapid petrol engine. Fun. Quick sufficient for metropolis runs and toll road stretches.
Prefer simple and smooth? There’s the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol too.
Transmissions? Options galore. 6-speed manual. CVT. And of course, the 7-speed DCT. City traffic. Weekend highway. You’re covered. Hyundai clearly aimed for balance fun when you want it, efficient when you need it.
Indian Market Battle
Now let’s talk India. Verna facelift is gunning for VW Virtus, Skoda Slavia, and Honda City. Not easy competition. But the refreshed cabin, tech, and sporty touches? They might just give Hyundai the edge.
Safety features expected too ABS, airbags, ESC. All the essentials, now wrapped in a modern, premium feel. For Indian buyers, it’s a mix of style, comfort, and tech. A sedan that actually feels fun to drive.

Tech Upgrades for Real-Life Driving
The new steering wheel and dual-screen setup aren’t just for show. They make life easier behind the wheel. Better visibility. Redesigned air vents. Updated center console. The details matter.
Connectivity is sorted too. Apple CarPlay. Android Auto. Wireless charging. Perfect for city drives. Tech-savvy drivers. Daily commutes. Hyundai thought of all that. And yes, it’s premium without screaming look at me.
