While SUVs are very popular right now, 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for sedan lovers. Major carmakers are preparing to refresh their most popular models with enhanced technology, modern designs, and additional safety features to remain competitive.
Here are the three big updates you should look out for:
1. Skoda Slavia Facelift
Skoda’s stylish sedan is getting a makeover early in the year.
- What’s Changing: The car has already been spotted testing on roads. While it will keep its same shape and size, expect a "fresher face" with updated lights and bumpers.
- The Inside: Skoda is expected to update the dashboard and steering wheel, adding several premium features that are currently missing to make it feel more high-end.
- Launch Date: Expected around January 2026.
2. Hyundai Verna Facelift
The Verna is already known for being packed with tech, but Hyundai is taking it a step further.
- What’s Changing: The engine and power will likely stay the same, but the "facelift" will focus on comfort.
- New Features: Look out for "luxury" additions like dual-zone climate control (allowing the driver and passenger to set different temperatures) and memory seats that remember your perfect driving position.
- Launch Date: Expected in mid-2026.
3. Honda City Facelift
The Honda City is a classic choice in India, and it’s due for a refresh to keep it feeling modern.
- What’s Changing: Since the current version has been around since 2020, Honda will give it a visual update both inside and out.
- New Tech: It is expected to finally get a fully digital instrument cluster (the screen behind the steering wheel) and different driving modes to suit your mood—whether you want to save fuel or go fast.
- Launch Date: Expected in the second half of 2026.
