Hyundai Aura Overview

Hyundai just introduced the facelifted Aura in the Indian market. The manufacturer has upgraded the engine, made minor design changes, and included many safety measures. The Hyundai Aura is priced from 6.29 lakh rupees to 8.87 lakh rupees (both are ex-showroom prices).

The Aura is available from Hyundai in four variations. E, S, SX, and SX all exist (O). Both petrol and a CNG power plant are available for the Aura. The 1.2-liter, four-cylinder normally aspirated engine is the same. Both a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT are available as transmissions.

Exterior and the interior highlights

A more upright nose and a two-part grille are new features of the Aura's updated front end. While it no longer has fog lights, the small car now has new LED DRLs in the shape of an inverted L at the bumper's margins. While it retains the same design as the 15-inch alloy wheels and LED tail lights, there are no alterations to the vehicle's sides or back. Aside from the base, all trim levels of the redesigned Aura feature a boot-lid spoiler. Hyundai Aura price is worth all these features it boasts.

Instead of the Vintage Brown option from the outgoing generation, the small sedan from Hyundai now comes in Starry Night.

The inside of the cabin is the same, but new seat upholstery, improved footwell lighting, and an updated instrument panel have been added.

Powertrain details

The 1.2-liter engine that powers the Aura makeover remains the same. Therefore there are no internal alterations. Its engine produces 83 bhp and 114 Nm when connected to a 5-speed manual or an AMT transmission. Hyundai also provides a factory-installed CNG kit for the Aura's 1.2-liter petrol engine, which produces 69 bhp and 95 Nm of torque and is only available with a 5-speed manual transmission.

All powertrains are currently E20 fuel-ready and RDE-compliant. But, the 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that produced 98 bhp and 172 Nm of torque is no longer available for the facelifted small car.

 

Variants and Hyundai Aura Features

The updated Aura comes in five trim levels: E, S, SX, SX(O), and SX+. It now has many new convenience and safety features compared to the previous model. On the other hand, the pricier variations come with 6 airbags, ESC, ISOFIX anchorages, hill-hold assist, and automated headlights. It now comes standard with four airbags, ABS, and EBD. Hyundai Aura specifications are great for the price it is given for.

However, new features like Type-C charging connectors and an updated 3.5-inch MID in the instrument cluster are now available on higher-spec variants.
