# 🚗 Protint – Premium Detailing & Protection for the 2026 Hyundai Verna
## 🇮🇳 A Special Note for New Verna Owners
The **2026 Hyundai Verna** facelift is more than just a refresh—it is a significant upgrade that makes a strong first impression. Launched in March 2026, the new Verna starts at just ₹10.98 lakh (ex-showroom) and introduces a host of segment-first features . With its sleek new design, feature-rich cabin, and powerful engine options, the Verna is built for discerning drivers who value both style and safety .
At **Protint**, we understand that Verna owners value:
- **Sensuous Sportiness** – preserving that sharp, athletic design philosophy
- **Executive Comfort** – ensuring the premium leatherette/leather cabin stays cool and protected
- **ADAS sensor integrity** – zero interference with the 20 advanced safety features
- **Factory paint preservation** – especially important for the new Titan Grey Matte finish
- **Resale value retention** – a well-protected Verna commands premium pricing
> **⚠️ Important Note on Indian Legal Compliance**: India has strict window tinting regulations. As per the **Supreme Court ruling of 2012**, aftermarket sun films are strictly prohibited regardless of VLT claims. Only factory-fitted tinted glass meeting 70% VLT (front/rear) and 50% VLT (side) standards is permitted. Penalties for non-compliance include fines and on-the-spot film removal. We strictly follow the law by recommending **removable mesh sunshades** (legal only while parked) and **factory-fitted tinted glass** (OEM option).
## ✨ Legal Sun Protection for the 2026 Verna
The Verna's sleek, low-slung profile and large glass area make effective sun protection essential.
### ❌ What is NOT Legal
- Any aftermarket tinted film (regardless of VLT claims)
- Using sunshades or curtains **while driving**
- Reflective or mirror-like films
### ✅ What IS Legal
| Solution | Legality | Best For |
|----------|----------|----------|
| **Factory-fitted tinted glass** (OEM) | ✅ Always legal | Permanent UV/heat protection from Hyundai |
| **Removable mesh sunshades** | ⚠️ **Parked only** | Protecting interior when stationary |
| **Windshield sunstrip** | ✅ Legal (max 15cm height) | Glare reduction |
| **Window Visors (Rain Guards)** | ✅ Always legal | Ventilation without direct sun |
### 🛡️ Legal Sunshade Options (Parked Use Only)
For protecting your Verna while parked, we offer custom-fit removable mesh sunshades. The **HX6 variant and above** come equipped with rear window sunshades from the factory, which are also only legal for use while parked . **Must be removed before driving** to avoid legal penalties.
## 🛡️ Paint Protection Film (PPF) – Invisible Armor
The 2026 Verna's sharp new dual LED projector headlamps, sculpted hood, and redesigned bumpers are magnets for stone chips. A premium PPF acts as a sacrificial layer, absorbing damage so your factory paint stays flawless . This is especially critical for the new **Titan Grey Matte** finish—matte paints cannot be polished or touched up easily.
### 🎨 PPF Options for 2026 Hyundai Verna
| Film Type | Brand Options | Finish | Warranty | Best For |
|-----------|---------------|--------|----------|----------|
| **Premium Self-Healing PPF** | XPEL Ultimate Plus, 3M Pro Series | Gloss | 7-10 years | Maximum protection, self-healing scratches |
| **Matte/Satin PPF** | XPEL Stealth, 3M Matte | Matte/Satin | 7-10 years | **Essential for Titan Grey Matte variant** |

*Note: Prices vary by city, film brand (XPEL, 3M, Garware), and installation quality.*

## 🧴 Ceramic Coating – The Ultimate 'Sensuous Sportiness' Gloss
For owners who want maximum gloss and easier maintenance, a Ceramic Coating is an excellent addition, either over PPF or as a standalone treatment.

## 🟡 Important Note on 2023-2024 Verna Models
The previous generation Verna (2023-2024) is now a **discontinued model** . If you own this older model, protecting your investment is even more critical—genuine body panels are becoming harder to find as the model phases out.
### 💰 Spare Parts Price Reference (2023-2024 Verna)
| Part | Approx Price (incl. GST) |
|------|--------------------------|
| Oil Filter | ₹113 |
| Engine Oil | ₹1, 838 |
| Coolant | ₹698 |
| Brake Oil | ₹288 |
| Fuel Filter | ₹1, 150 |
*Source: ZigWheels *
> **The Bottom Line**: A discontinued model like the 2023-24 Verna needs extra care. Investing in PPF (₹25, 000 – ₹40, 000 for front package) is far cheaper than sourcing discontinued parts later. Protect your future classic today.
