Prices are to be confirmed next month. The Hyundai Verna petrol AT currently comes in the
EX and SX (O) grades. The SX+ grade will slot between the two. In addition to
the features offered by the EX (O) grade, equipment will include passive
keyless entry, engine start-stop button, wireless phone charger and hands-free
boot access. These features are currently limited to the SX(O) grade.

addition to the features of the SX+, it will offer wireless phone charging and
telescopic steering adjustment - a feature that is unavailable across the range
currently.
