New-Gen Hyundai Verna Variant-Wise Engine And Transmission Options Revealed

The fourth generation Hyundai sedan is no longer available with the diesel engine

Update (21/03/2023): Hyundai has launched the sixth-generation Verna in India with prices starting from Rs 10.90 lakh (introductory ex-showroom).

• The Verna will be offered in four trims: EX, S, SX and SX(O)

• Hyundai will debut the new 1.5-litre T-GDi (turbo) petrol engine with the compact sedan.

• Depending on the engine options, the Verna will be offered in three transmission choices: six-speed MT, CVT and a seven-speed DCT automatic.

• Bookings are already open for Rs 25,000.

While Hyundai is yet to take covers off the new-generation Verna, the carmaker has revealed its engine and transmission options across the variants. Available in four trim levels, the sedan will be offered in two petrol engine options – 1.5-litre T-GDi (turbo) and 1.5-litre MPi (naturally aspirated) – with different gearbox choices.

Let’s have a look at its variant-wise engine and transmission details

As per the table above, the lower-spec EX and S trims will only be offered with a 1.5-litre MPi (naturally aspirated) petrol engine, paired to a six-speed manual transmission only. Meanwhile, the SX and SX(O) trims can also be had with a more powerful 1.5-litre T-GDi (turbo) petrol engine, including all the transmission options – six-speed MT, CVT and seven-speed DCT automatic – that vary depending on the engine choice.

The 1.5-litre MPi petrol engine makes 115PS and 144Nm on the outgoing Verna. The carmaker hasn’t provided the output figure for the new 1.5-litre T-GDi (turbo) petrol engine, but we can expect it to produce 159PS and 253Nm, the same as the globally available i30. The former is paired to either a six-speed MT or CVT, while the latter can be had with either six-speed MT or a seven-speed DCT automatic.
