2023 Hyundai Verna’s Variants Broken Down & Detailed

Hyundai has just launched the 2023 Verna in the country with an introductory starting price tag of Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The new sedan is a radical departure from the previous one and boasts new styling, features and even powertrains. There is a lot of kit that is new on the compact sedan, some of which are segment-first, so let’s see what the four variants (EX, S, SX and SX(O)) of the new Verna bring to the table.
