The S variant covers most of the must-have features and a good buy for an entry point in the Verna petrol lineup. But if you’re looking for better value and can afford to stretch your budget, then keep reading to get the answer.

The SX manual variant costs Rs. 10.7 lakh, which is Rs. 1.39 lakh more than the S manual. This variant is also available with the CVT automatic transmission, which costs another Rs. 1.25 lakh. The SX automatic doesn’t get any additional feature over the SX manual.

The SX variant, with the manual or automatic transmission, is a fantastic value for money. It offers a nice balance of style and functional features and for a reasonable incremental price hike over the S variant. The automatic transmission is also well priced. The SX variant is our top recommendation regardless of which transmission you choose.
What Are The Features Of 2020 Hyundai Verna SX (O) Variant?
The SX (O) variant is again available with, both, manual and automatic transmissions. It costs Rs. 12.6 lakh if you go with the manual transmission and Rs. 13.85 lakh if you pick the automatic. It’s Rs. 1.9 lakh more than the SX variant.
Here are the additional features of the SX (O) variant on top of what’s available in the SX variant:

The SX (O) variant adds some nice-to-have features along with safety kit, which some might find indispensable. For the sum you’re paying on top of the SX trim though, it just doesn’t justify spending Rs. 1.9 lakh more. The SX (O) is an expensive upgrade over the SX variant.
What Are The Features Of 2020 Hyundai Verna SX (O) Turbo Automatic Variant?
The 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine is only available in SX (O) variant and with 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Besides everything available in the SX (O) automatic, the turbo engine also brings some style, functional and safety features. Here’s the list:

For about Rs. 15,000 over the SX (O) automatic, the SX (O) turbo automatic adds features worth more than that. However, the price gap created by the non-turbo SX (O) variants itself is so big that it too doesn’t earn our recommendation from a value-for-money perspective.
Which Variant Of The 2020 Hyundai Verna Facelift Is The Best Value For Money?
The S variant is a respectable entry point into the Verna lineup. The SX, however, is the best value offering with a fantastic mix of functional and style features. It is our top recommendation. The SX (O) variant is an expensive upgrade regardless of which engine or transmission you pick.

What Are The Engine Specs Of 2020 Hyundai Verna Facelift?
The upcoming Verna facelift will come with a set of new engines. It’s getting 1.5-litre normal petrol, 1.5-litre turbo diesel and a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Even with the downsized engines, the Verna maintains its lead in terms of power department in the compact sedan segment. In fact, in terms of the peak torque, the small turbo petrol engine helps it gain a significant advantage by offering the best-in-class torque at near-idle RPMS. Next to the Verna turbo’s 7-speed DCT automatic, the Ciaz’s 4-speed torque converter looks positively archaic. Here are the specifications:
