Interested in bringing home the Hyundai Verna facelift? Here’s our Ultimate Buying Guide!
The sixth-generation Hyundai Verna, which was launched in 2023, has received a minor facelift almost three years after its launch. While the changes to the design are minimum and it has gained some new features, Hyundai has changed the entire variant nomenclature.
The Verna is now available in six broad variants: HX 2, HX 4, HX 6, HX 6+, HX 8, and HX 10, and these are similar to the ones given to the new Hyundai Venue. If you are planning to get the updated compact sedan, then check out what each of its variants has to offer in this detailed variant-wise feature list:

The HX 2 variant really feels like base-spec from the outside, as it does not get any premium lighting elements that can elevate its design. It neither gets the rear spoiler nor comes with chrome door handles.
-
From the mid-spec HX 6 variant onwards, the Verna starts looking top-spec as it gets all the LED lighting elements, including DRLs, and you get both the rear spoiler as well as 16-inch alloy wheels to make it look sporty and premium.

Even here, the base-spec does not get a lot, and basics such as tilt and telescopic steering wheel, cruise control, as well as the auto AC with rear AC vents are offered from the one-above-base HX 4 variant.
-
However, you do get essentials such as power windows, manual AC, keyless entry, electrically adjustable ORVMs, and a rear centre armrest with cupholders in the base model.
-
Here, the HX 6 and HX 6+ variants offer a good deal as they come with features like a wireless phone charger, ventilated front seats (HX 6+), a powered tailgate, ambient lighting, a single-pane sunroof, rear window sunshades, and leatherette seats (HX 6+).
-
These features make the cabin feel much more premium.
-
A fully digital driver’s display, powered driver and co-driver seats, and rain-sensing wipers are reserved for the top-spec variants.

-
If you are going for the base variant, you might want to keep some money aside for an aftermarket infotainment package, as the HX 2 variant does not get a touchscreen or even speakers.
-
You get an 8-inch touchscreen from the HX 4 variant, and a 10.25-inch unit in the HX 8 and HX 10 variants. However, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay work via an adapter in the bigger screen.
-
Top 3 variants also get a Bose sound system for a good audio experience.

As standard, the Verna facelift gets 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), vehicle stability management (VSM), rear parking sensors, hill start assist, rear defogger, auto headlamps, and ISOFIX child seat anchors.
-
A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is available from the one-above-base variant, and a rearview camera gets added in the mid-spec HX 6 variant.
-
If you want ADAS, you’ll have to stretch to the HX 8 turbo-petrol variants, and if you want the safety of 7 airbags, then the only option is the top-spec HX 10 trim.
Do note that you can't get all colours offered with the Verna in all variants (check variant-wise colour options here).

CarDekho Says
The base-spec Hyundai Verna HX 2 does not offer much, and it is basically a bare-bones variant, which keeps the starting price attractive. If you are on a budget, we’d suggest you go for the one-above-base HX 4 variant. This variant covers all aspects; you get all the daily use features and a decent infotainment package as well.
If you want more equipment and a better-looking design, go for the mid-spec HX 6+ variant. However, if you have the money to shell out for premium interiors, a good infotainment package, and the safety of ADAS, the HX 8 variant should be your pick.
