# ๐ Protint โ Premium Detailing & Protection for Hyundai Verna (2026 Facelift)
## ๐ฎ๐ณ A Special Note for Hyundai Verna Owners
The **Hyundai Verna** has long been a benchmark in the mid-size sedan segment, and the 2026 facelift elevates it to new heights of sophistication. Launched in March 2026, this updated Verna now features a striking black chrome radiator grille, sleek new dual LED projector headlamps, redesigned bumpers, and R16 diamond-cut alloy wheels . The cabin has been transformed with a new D-cut steering wheel (featuring Hyundai's modern 4-dot logo), **dual 10.25-inch integrated displays**, leatherette upholstery, and an **8-speaker Bose premium sound system** on select variants .
The 2026 Verna is now offered in six distinct trimsโ**HX2, HX4, HX6, HX6+, HX8, and HX10**โacross a price range of **โน10.98 lakh to โน18.25 lakh** (ex-showroom) . It continues to offer two proven petrol powertrains: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine (115 PS, 144 Nm) paired with a 6-speed manual or IVT automatic, and a punchy 1.5-litre turbo GDi engine (160 PS, 253 Nm) available with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT .
Safety has been significantly enhanced with the introduction of **Level 2 ADAS** (featuring 20 autonomous functions), **seven airbags** (including a centre airbag), an **integrated dashcam**, all-wheel disc brakes, electronic parking brake with auto hold, front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view monitor (SVM), and a blind-spot view monitor (BVM) . The Verna is also available in two striking new colours: **Titan Grey Matte** and **Classy Blue** .
At **Protint**, we understand that Verna owners value:
- **Sensuous Sportiness** โ preserving that sharp, athletic design philosophy
- **Executive Comfort** โ ensuring the premium leatherette cabin stays cool and protected
- **ADAS sensor integrity** โ zero interference with the 20 advanced safety features
- **Factory paint preservation** โ especially important for the new matte finish on the Titan Grey variant
- **Resale value retention** โ a well-protected Verna commands premium pricing
> **โ ๏ธ Important Note on Indian Legal Compliance**: Aftermarket sun films are strictly prohibited in India following the Supreme Court ruling of 2012. The legal requirements are: front and rear windshields must allow at least **70% light transmission**, and side windows at least **50%** . We strictly follow the law by recommending **removable mesh sunshades** (legal only when parked) and **factory-fitted tinted glass**. Penalties for non-compliance can reach โน1, 000 with on-the-spot film removal .
## โจ Legal Sun Protection for the 2026 Verna

## ๐ก๏ธ Paint Protection Film (PPF) โ Invisible Armor for the Verna
The 2026 Verna's sharp new LED 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** finishโmatte paints cannot be polished or touched up easily .

### ๐ง Verna-Specific PPF Coverage
The 2026 Verna's updated design has several vulnerable areas:
