Hyundai Verna — Price, Mileage, Variants & Expert Review

A 160 PS, 253 Nm turbo-petrol that you can still order with a 6-speed manual — that alone makes the Verna worth a look in 2026. The range splits cleanly in two: the 1.5 MPi (115 PS, 144 Nm) with manual or 6-speed automatic for the sensible money, and the 1.5 Turbo GDi with either the manual or a 7-speed automatic for buyers who want the quickest thing in the class. Petrol is the only fuel; there is no diesel, CNG or hybrid across the 22 variants.

This is also the biggest car of the midsize-sedan trio in the metal that matters: 4,565 mm long on a 2,670 mm wheelbase — longer in both than the Virtus — with a 528-litre boot that beats it too. The equipment story is strong higher up: ADAS features, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, hands-free electronic boot release, LED lighting, sunroof and leatherette upholstery all appear on the list.

At ₹10.99-18.41 lakh the Verna ranks 12th most affordable among the 46 sedans we track, and 14.6 PS per lakh at entry keeps it competitive on output for money. One honesty note: official mileage figures for this range are not listed in our data set, so treat any economy claim you hear at a dealership with a test drive and a full-tank check of your own.

GaadiInfo Verdict

The Verna's case is space plus speed. If the budget reaches, the turbo automatic in a mid-to-high trim is the one to own — 160 PS with the 7-speed AT makes it the quickest sensible sedan of this set, and the ADAS kit arrives alongside. If you're buying with your head, the 115 PS 1.5 automatic a couple of rungs up from base gets the big boot, the big wheelbase and most of the comfort for lakhs less. The manual turbo is the enthusiast's sleeper pick — buy it because you want it, not to save money.

• Decide 115 PS or 160 PS first — the 22-variant list halves instantly and the price conversation gets honest.
• Petrol-only means high-mileage users (1,500+ km/month) should price a diesel or hybrid rival's total running cost before signing.
• Do your own fuel-economy check on the test drive; official figures aren't listed in our data, so don't anchor on a dealer's verbal number.
• At PDI, test the hands-free boot release and every ADAS alert on a short drive, and confirm the cluster is the 10.25-inch unit if your trim promises it.

Frequently asked questions

Ex-showroom runs ₹10.99-18.41 lakh across 22 variants; on-road adds roughly 10-15% depending on your state. Use the city links on this page for a precise number.

How powerful is the Verna turbo?

The 1.5 Turbo GDi makes 160 PS and 253 Nm — the strongest output among midsize sedans — with a choice of 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic.

What mileage does the Verna give?

Official figures for this range are not listed in our data set. The 115 PS 1.5 MPi is the efficiency-oriented engine of the two; the turbo trades economy for performance. Run your own tank-to-tank check on a test drive.

Is the Verna's boot really that big?

Yes — 528 litres, the largest among its direct rivals (the Virtus offers 521). The electronic hands-free opening on higher trims makes it more usable day-to-day.

Does the Verna get ADAS?

ADAS features appear on the Verna's equipment list on upper trims. Ask for a feature-by-feature list on your exact variant, as content steps down the range.

Can I still buy the Verna turbo with a manual gearbox?

Yes — the 160 PS turbo is listed with a 6-speed manual as well as the 7-speed automatic, a combination very few rivals offer anymore.

Is there a Verna diesel in 2026?

No. The current range is petrol-only across all 22 variants. High-mileage buyers should compare against diesel or hybrid alternatives on total cost.

Verna or Virtus — which sedan should I choose?

Verna for outright power (160 vs 150 PS), the bigger 528-litre boot, longer 2,670 mm wheelbase and ADAS; Virtus (from ₹10.5 lakh) for the DSG driving experience and its published 20.8 kmpl economy claim. Test both — their characters differ more than their spec sheets.
