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.
