So, which variant of the 2026 Hyundai Verna should you buy?
For most buyers looking for a value for money Verna, it’s the HX6+ we’d recommend. For a mid-level trim, the HX6+ is not only priced decently, but also gets creature comforts like front seat ventilation, a Bose sound system, leatherette seats and rear sunshades. Paired with the naturally aspirated engine, it works as a solid car for city usage, especially when paired with the CVT. However, if there’s no budget constraint, the HX8 trim is a great pick. Along with features like a power driver seat adjust with memory and a larger infotainment display, it’s the only trim with all powertrain combos on offer.
