Hyundai has announced dual airbags as standard on the Verna. The news comes shortly after Hyundai equipping the i20 and the i20 Active with dual front airbags as standard.

The Verna also gets ABS as standard across its range. In addition to the safety features, the Verna gets a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation touchscreen along with a shark-fin radio antennae on its top-end variant.

The carmaker has rejigged the i20's variant line-up for the year 2016.The 2016 i20 comes in five trim levels. It continues to be offered with a choice of a 1.4-litre diesel and a 1.2-litre petrol engine option. The diesel version comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, while the petrol model gets a five-speed unit. ABS, however, is still not on offer on the lower Era and Magna trims.

The i20 Sportz (O) trim has been discontinued.
