The 2026 Honda City Facelift is expected to arrive in the second half of 2026, bringing in subtle but important updates. This facelift will include a refreshed front grille, redesigned bumpers, and updated LED lighting. Inside, the City will likely receive minor trim changes and the option of a 360-degree camera system for improved visibility. The sedan will retain its existing 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with either a manual or CVT transmission, along with the hybrid e:HEV powertrain. Expect the continuation of the “Honda Sensing” ADAS suite, making the 2026 Honda City not only a style upgrade but also a safer, more tech-savvy option.
Hyundai Verna 2026 facelift will feature a fresh look with notable changes, especially to the front end. Inspired by the larger Hyundai Sonata, the sedan will get a new front bumper with bold, diagonal elements, and updated LED headlights. Inside, expect a more modern and curved dual-screen setup with larger 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment and instrument cluster. The 2026 Verna will continue to offer both a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine and a class-leading turbo-petrol engine, both mated to manual and automatic transmission options. The facelifted Verna will also bring in a more advanced Level 2 ADAS suite, making it one of the safest sedans in its class.
The Skoda Slavia 2026 facelift will arrive around mid-2026, offering a refreshed design and several feature upgrades. The exterior will showcase revised headlamps, updated LED DRLs, a new 3D-patterned grille, and tweaked tail-lamps. Inside, expect a revamped dashboard layout with a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and possibly a 360-degree camera system. One of the biggest updates will be the inclusion of Level 2 ADAS, enhancing the safety features already available in the Slavia. The sedan will continue to offer the popular 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engines, both paired with manual, automatic, or DSG transmission options.
The Volkswagen Virtus facelift is expected to launch in late 2026. The sedan will get a more modern look with new bumpers and updated LED lighting. Inside, it will feature a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, and enhanced safety features with Level 2 ADAS. The engine will continue with the 1.0L and 1.5L turbo-petrol options, with some improvements to efficiency.
