Launched in 2020, the Hyundai Aura is essentially a successor to the Xcent compact sedan.

AMT available in one variant only
The Aura currently comes in five trim levels: E, S, Corporate, SX, and SX(O).

Hyundai also sells the Aura with a CNG powertrain in all trims – barring the top-spec SX(O) – paired to a manual gearbox.

Petrol and CNG
Much like its rivals (except the Amaze), the Aura gets petrol and factory-fitted CNG powertrain options. It gets a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder engine developing 83hp and 114Nm when running on petrol, and is paired to either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT. In the petrol-CNG variants, the output drops to 69hp and 95Nm, and it can only be had with a manual.

17kpl for petrol variants
Claimed fuel efficiency figures for petrol-powered Aura variants stand at 17kpl for both the manual and AMT gearboxes. To put this into perspective, the Dzire achieves a claimed mileage of 24.79-25.71kpl, while the Amaze’s is around the 18.65-19.46kpl mark. As for the Aura CNG, its fuel efficiency is 28.4km/kg, which is higher than the Tigor CNG’s 26.49km/kg figure; however, the Dzire CNG’s 33.73km/kg mileage is the highest.

In typical Hyundai fashion, the Aura comes packed with goodies. Depending on the variant, you get features like an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (can be made wireless using an OEM adapter), a 4-speaker sound system, automatic climate control, push button start/stop, a fast-charging USB Type-C port, front and rear power outlets, rear AC vents, a wireless charger, and more.

When will the next-gen Hyundai Aura launch in India?
New Aura is coming, but precise details are under wraps
We recently reported that Hyundai is gearing up to launch 26 models in India by 2030, and an all-new generation of the Aura will be part of the Korean carmaker’s upcoming product onslaught. While specific details surrounding the next-gen Aura aren’t available at the moment, we expect it to sport numerous styling updates inside and out along with an expanded features list, with similar powertrain options.
