Hyundai Verna
Hyundai sells the Verna as a five-seat sedan with the biggest boot in its class, at 528 litres. There are 12 variants, running from HX2 up to HX10. Both engines are petrol, a 115hp 1.5-litre and a 160hp 1.5-litre turbo. There is no diesel and no hybrid anywhere in the range.
Verna Price Details
The 12 variants are priced as below for October 2026.
Price range: Rs. 10.99 lakh to Rs. 18.31 lakh (ex-showroom)
Top model, HX10 Turbo Petrol DCT: Rs. 18.31 lakh (ex-showroom)
Base model, HX2 Petrol MT: Rs. 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom)
Automatic variant, HX6+ Petrol CVT: Rs. 15.03 lakh (ex-showroom)
The automatics start one trim lower, with the HX6 Petrol CVT. The turbo engine comes as a manual in the HX8, or as a seven-speed dual-clutch in the HX10 top model. Every Verna has the 5-star rating and seven airbags, so the base variant is well covered. The top variant is the only one with the radar-based driver aids.

Who should buy Hyundai Verna?
Our Autocar India review puts the Verna at 8 out of 10. These buyers get the most from it.
Buyer type | Why it fits |
If you want the quickest car in the class | • The 160hp turbo makes 253Nm, the best figures in the segment • We found the dual-clutch automatic smooth in everyday use |
If you carry luggage often | • A 528-litre boot, the largest in the class by a clear margin • We rate this as the Verna’s standout practical advantage |
If you want driver assistance | • Radar-based aids cover collision warning and lane assistance • They come only on the turbo dual-clutch, so check the variant |
If you drive long highway distances | • We found the suspension stays settled at expressway speeds • The front seats are both heated and ventilated |
If features matter to you | • Two 10.25-inch screens and an eight-speaker Bose system • A 360-degree camera on the higher variants |
This sedan suits keen drivers least. We found the steering short on feedback, and the soft suspension does not encourage quick driving.

Hyundai Verna price & variants
Hyundai Verna price in India starts at 10.99 lakh for the HX2 Petrol MT and rises to 18.31 lakh for the HX10 Turbo Petrol DCT, both ex-showroom, while the on-road price in Delhi runs from 12.76 lakh to 21.24 lakh. The 12 variants run from HX2 to HX10 across the two petrol engines.
Which one to pick:
The 115hp petrol has an even spread of power and is ample for city driving, which covers what most buyers actually need.
The 160hp turbo is the one to have if you drive long distances or want the performance, and it is also the only version with radar-based driver assistance.
The dual-clutch automatic comes only with the turbo, so the gearbox you want may end up deciding your engine.
EMIs for the HX2 Petrol MT start at 18,502 a month.

Hyundai Verna comparison


Hyundai Verna Mileage
Hyundai Verna petrol mileage depends mostly on which of the two engines you choose and on how you drive it. The 115hp naturally aspirated engine is the more economical of the pair in everyday use, particularly with the CVT automatic, because it has a smaller job to do and does not rely on a turbocharger to make its power.
The 160hp turbo will use noticeably more fuel if you use its performance and rather less if you drive it gently, since the turbo only draws heavily when you ask for the power. If running cost is your main concern the naturally aspirated engine is the sensible pick, though if you cover long highway distances at a steady speed the turbo's extra pulling power means fewer gearchanges and the gap between them narrows.

Verna images show 16 photos of the car, and these are the details worth studying closely:
The front and rear styling, which our review found over-done in places

Cars delivering 10 to 15 kmpl mileage achieve a balance between performance and practicality. Numerous petrol SUVs, sedans, and premium hatchbacks in India belong to this category. Vehicles in the 10-15 kmpl range appeal to urban buyers seeking comfort, advanced features, and reasonable fuel efficiency.

Hyundai Verna FAQs
The Verna can be considered by those looking for a feature-loaded midsize sedan with strong performance.
Compared to the previous generation sedan, the current sedan is far more spacious than before. Space at the back is now vast, and at least on par, if not more than rivals.
Enthusiasts will like the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with a manual gearbox. This engine produces 160hp, the highest in the segment. If budget is a constraint, the 115hp 1.5-litre naturally aspirated motor with the CVT offers an even spread of power and performance.
It doesn’t get too unsettled as you go faster and even remains composed at expressway speeds. Hyundai has found a happy balance that’s good for the driver and the driven.
ADAS functions work well, giving you sufficient time to intervene before the car does so itself. Audible and visual warnings get your attention.
Compared to the likes of the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus, the Hyundai Verna turbo with the 7-speed DCT has the power as well as a smooth DCT gearbox. However, it is let down by its steering which lacks feedback, weight or precision.
Questions you may find useful
I owned a Verna Diesel AT for 6yrs, which had a 4 Speed Torque Converter AT and now own Seltos Diesel AT for 7yrs, which is a 6 speed TC. I enjoyed both of them and never missed the driving pleasure given the output from these cars and their pairing and the fact that they always come with a manual mode if you want, I'm sure that is the case with 7XO Diesel AT also, which is again a TC unit. Never had any problem with any of these cars in the last 13yrs. Pls go for an AT without worry (atleast with TCs or CVTs). They are time tested. Also, What's the fun in pressing the clutch if beyond a certain age, legs are more important for atleast 18hrs of usage everyday than the small driving pleasure that we get for few hrs here and there ;-)
Hi Autocar Team, I am confused between the XUV 7XO AX7T diesel manual and automatic. My current ride is a Fluidic Verna diesel manual, which is nearing 15 years of ownership and has clocked nearly 2.5 lakh km. My usage consists of mixed city and highway driving, with around 40km daily and weekend highway runs of about 400km. For long-term ownership, which would be the better choice: the manual or automatic?
Go for the XUV 7XO AX7T diesel automatic. The diesel engine is well suited to your high running, and the automatic gearbox is a proven torque converter unit that is reliable and well matched to the engine. This Mahindra car will make your daily city driving far less tiring, while still being smooth and efficient on the highway. Coming from a 15-year-old Hyundai Verna diesel manual, the automatic will feel like a significant upgrade in terms of comfort and ease of use, without compromising on long-term reliability. The manual is still a good option if you strongly prefer the engagement, but for your usage and ownership horizon, the automatic is the smarter choice.
I am confused between the Hyundai Verna and Hyundai Creta. Which one to buy?
Go for the Hyundai Creta. The Creta is the more practical and versatile choice, offering a higher seating position, better ground clearance and a more comfortable ride over broken roads. It is also more spacious, making it the better family car. The Verna is the better driver's car, with a lower centre of gravity and a more engaging driving experience. The Creta also has a wider range of engine options, including a diesel, which makes it a better long-distance car. Overall, the Creta is the more rounded package and the better choice for most.
I am confused between the Hyundai Verna and Hyundai Aura. Which one to buy?
The Verna and Aura are two very different cars, so the decision really comes down to your priorities and budget. The Hyundai Verna is a larger, more premium sedan with a more powerful engine, better ride quality, more space and a more upmarket feel overall. It is the better choice if you are looking for a comfortable family car with good highway manners and a more premium ownership experience.The Hyundai Aura, on the other hand, is a compact sedan that is more affordable, easier to manoeuvre in the city and cheaper to run and maintain. It is a sensible choice if your usage is predominantly city-based and you are looking for a value-for-money package.If your budget allows, the Verna is the clear recommendation. It is a more complete car and will keep you happier over a longer ownership period. The Aura only makes sense if you are on a tighter budget and want a compact, easy-to-drive sedan for city use.
