What the HX 8 Petrol MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HX 8 Petrol MT comes to ₹15,68,100 on the road in Itanagar and ₹18,06,198 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,38,098 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹14.94L ex-showroom this is the sixth of 12 Verna variants by price, ₹48,000 above the HX 6 Petrol AT. It is also the cheapest of the 2 ways into HX 8: the same features as the HX 8 Petrol AT for ₹1.21L less. Stepping up to HX 8 Turbo from here starts at ₹1.40L more and buys level 2 (full suite) ADAS and electronic parking brake + auto hold among 3 additions. Worth knowing that the HX 8 Turbo is not sold with the Petrol with the 6-speed manual, so the move changes the powertrain too.

Hyundai Verna HX 8: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Hyundai Verna HX 8 Petrol MT?
- ₹14.94L, ex-showroom. That makes it 6th of 12 by price, ₹48,000 above the HX 6 Petrol AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Hyundai Verna HX 8 Petrol MT?
- Expect ₹15,68,100 in Itanagar and ₹18,06,198 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,38,098 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Hyundai Verna HX 8 Petrol MT have?
- The Petrol, 115 PS, with the 6-speed manual.
- What features does the Hyundai Verna HX 8 Petrol MT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Powered driver seat (8-way), Premium sound system (Bose), Ventilated front seats, Connected car tech, Rain-sensing wipers and Driver seat memory.
- What does the Hyundai Verna HX 8 Petrol MT miss out on?
- The HX 8 Turbo above it adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS, electronic parking brake + auto hold and drive modes, for ₹1.40L more. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the HX 8 Turbo is not sold with this one.
- Is the HX 8 the right Verna to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Hyundai Verna which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
