2020 Hyundai Verna first look: Everything you need to know

Hyundai was only second to Maruti during February 2020 sales in India by selling over 40,000 units despite a slowdown in the auto industry. The automaker is now luring consumers towards a facelift design of one of its most popular sedans, Verna. The first look of 2020 Hyundai Verna has been teased by the company to show front, rear and side remodelling. But there's more to it than meets the eye.

2020 Hyundai Verna: First look

The all-new Hyundai Verna takes after its Russian cousin Solaris, which is practically the name of the car in the international market. The 2020 Hyundai Verna's rear has been redesigned to match that of Solaris, complete with rear bumper to tailgate design.

The sedan sports redesigned LED headlights with DRLs on the front complemented by a large cascading grille with generous chrome treatment. The front bumper has also been redesigned to give it a sporty look.

Finally, the third angle of the 2020 Hyundai Verna teaser shows dual-tone alloy wheels while the rest of the design remains mostly unchanged. The overall perspective of the all-new Verna is refreshing and very much in line with a modern design we've witnessed in the latest Creta and Tucson.
