Hyundai India has expanded the Verna lineup with a new SX+ variant, priced from Rs. 13.79 lakh (ex-showroom). This fresh addition finds its place neatly between the existing SX and SX(O) trims. For those wanting a bit more luxury and tech without going all the way to the top-spec model, the SX+ might just be the sweet spot.

Positioning
The SX+ variant bridges the gap between the mid-spec SX and the fully loaded SX(O). Think of it as a perfect mix — it borrows many premium features from the top-end trim while keeping the price more accessible. If you were eyeing the SX for its price but felt it lacked a few luxuries, this variant fixes that gap.
Features
Hyundai has loaded the Verna SX+ with some eye-catching upgrades, especially if you’re a fan of comfort and good sound. Key highlights include:
- Eight-speaker Bose audio system
- Leatherette seat upholstery
- Ventilated and heated front seats
- Front parking sensors
- LED headlamps
These features were previously exclusive to the SX(O) but are now available to those opting for the SX+. That makes the SX+ one of the most value-packed options in its segment.
Engine
Under the hood, the Verna SX+ sticks to Hyundai’s reliable 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. It delivers 113bhp of power and 144Nm of torque — plenty for daily driving and highway cruising. The motor is smooth, refined, and already well-known among Verna buyers.
Transmission options include:
| Transmission | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| 6-Speed Manual | Rs. 13.79 lakh |
| CVT (IVT) | Rs. 15.04 lakh |
Hyundai’s IVT gearbox is known for delivering a smooth driving experience, especially in city conditions, while the manual keeps things engaging for those who enjoy traditional stick-shifts.
Tech
In a nifty move, Hyundai is also expanding its tech offerings. The brand has introduced a wired-to-wireless adapter for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across seven models, including the Verna. That means even if your car didn’t support wireless connectivity earlier, you can now enjoy the convenience of it with a simple plug-and-play solution.
Here’s a list of cars that now support the adapter:
- Grand i10 Nios
- Exter
- Verna
- Venue
- Aura
- Venue N Line
- Alcazar
This addition shows Hyundai’s push toward offering tech-friendly upgrades that don’t require buying a new car altogether.
Verdict
The Verna SX+ is a smart new entrant for those looking for a premium sedan experience without stretching their budget too far. It packs comfort, tech, and safety in a balanced way, making it one of the most practical variants in the Verna lineup. With attractive pricing and improved feature value, the SX+ might just become the new go-to choice for Verna fans.
