Reported to launch on February 16.

The Hyundai Verna has been due for a facelift, and while markets like China and Russia got an update last year, it never came to the Indian market. With the Indian launch reportedly scheduled for February 16, the Verna facelift has been caught on test again, revealing itself fully.
