Design preferences vary according to each individual, and the new Verna continues the design language of its global line of products. The front is marking the very familiar trapezoid-shaped parametric grille, which also houses sensors for ADAS tech. The split LED headlamps have been tastefully housed within the grilles. The full-width light bar spanning across the bonnet definitely gives it a bit of futuristic appeal. On the sides, the sharp cuts and creases, along with the coupe-like rear end, make it look more sporty and appealing. Just like on the front, Verna also gets a full-width LED light bar at the rear. It gets 16-inch alloy wheels and even comes with a red caliper in the turbo variant, It gets a massive boot of 528 litres, enough to swallow a lot of your luggage. On offer are eight colour options, including something like Tellurian brown, and two of these options come with dual-tone exteriors -  Atlast white and Fiery red comes with a black roof. The design from the front with the continuous  LED light bar reminisces of it being an EV, or they may remove the fuel tank and put a battery pack in the future. At least design-wise, it's an EV-ready sedan.

The 1.5 Turbo GDi petrol variant event gets more exciting. It gets all-black seat upholstery,  an electric parking brake, a rear disc brake and enthusiast badging at the rear of it being the turbo variant.
