Rumour: Verna facelift to get 1.5L petrol & diesel engines

According to a media report, Hyundai has already started working on the Verna facelift due in 2020. In addition to revised exteriors and interiors, the updated model is rumoured to get new 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines.

The new Verna is expected to get a redesigned grille and bumpers as well as sheet metal changes, which might include a new bonnet, boot lid and fenders. The interior of the car is likely to be updated with a new instrument cluster and a new infotainment system featuring telematics.

Reports suggest that the 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine will be replaced with an all-new 1.5-litre BS-VI compliant diesel unit. The new engine is expected to be more fuel-efficient but might have a lower overall output compared to the current engine. Hyundai is also reportedly developing a new 1.5-litre, petrol engine featuring a 48V hybrid system. It will replace the current 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder unit. Both these engines are expected to debut in 2019 on the Kia SP Concept-based SUV.
