Talking about the 2020 Hyundai Verna facelift, the sedan has received minor design changes that in-line with the new global-spec Hyundai models. Upfront, the vehicle features the signature ‘cascading grille’ with chrome trim. The headlamp clusters appear larger than the existing units.
The projector headlamps, turn indicators and parking lamps have crystal-effect inserts and chrome lining. The front bumper has black plastic and stain grey bits making it look refreshing. The new Verna comes with the newly-designed alloy wheels. The diamond cut alloys with dual-tone rims are exclusively offered on the higher trims. Read – Hyundai Micro SUV To Debut At Auto Expo 2020
