The Hyundai Verna Facelift Interiors has carved out a niche for itself in the Indian automotive market, especially its interiors Nowadays people don’t just look at the engine and looks before buying a car but also pay equal attention to cabin quality, features, and comfort Its new, viral interior has prompted even more people to take a look.
First Look - Dashboard
When you first open the Verna Facelift door, the first thing you notice is its futuristic dashboard Hyundai has put serious effort here Dual 12.3-inch curved display panels—one for infotainment one for the digital instrument cluster.
The dashboard design is very clean and modern The dual-tone black and beige colour scheme gives the cabin a spacious feel However, if you prefer a sportier vibe, the Turbo variants offer an all-black interior with red accents.
Material quality includes soft-touch plastics used in the upper section of the dashboard Metal finish accents are added to the door handles and handbrake, adding a premium feel.
Technology: Infotainment and Connectivity
Lower variants get an 8-inch screen that covers basic features but lacks wireless connectivity. Navigation, music streaming, and voice commands.
One feature I personally liked was the Bose premium 8-speaker sound system This feature is available in SX variants onward, and the sound quality is genuinely impressive Bass, treble, mid-range – everything is balanced.

Comparison with Honda City VS Verna: Which is better
The Verna has the edge in technology – a bigger dual-screen setup more advanced ADAS features and a better sound system (Bose vs. standard).
The City has a slight edge in space especially in the rear seats There is slightly more legroom and better headroom, thanks to the sloping roofline.
In terms of premium feel, the City approach is conservative and elegant, while the Verna is sporty and tech-focused This depends on personal preference.
The Verna clearly leads in features – ventilated seats, Level 2 ADAS (in the turbo), ambient lighting, wireless charging – all these features are better integrated in the Verna.
According to recent surveys, around 67% of young buyers prefer the Verna due to technology and features while families who prioritise space tend to go for the City.
