Hyundai Aura Latest Updates

Hyundai has officially started accepting bookings for the Aura compact sedan. You can book any one of the 12 Aura variant now for Rs 10,000. Hyundai will announce prices when it launches the car on January 21.

The carmaker unveiled the Aura sub-4 metre sedan for India on December 19. The Nios-based compact sedan features more premium interiors and exteriors and one new engine option. Although the interior has not been unveiled yet, the carmaker has told us that the Aura will get Nios features and then some.

Arkamys sound system, 8-inch infotainment, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and an app-based audio remote control will all be offered. In addition, the Aura will also get wireless charging and a rear-view camera. Details about launch or price were not disclosed. 

All engines offered on the Aura are BS6-compliant. They are 1.2-litre Kappa MPI petrol, 1.0-litre T-GDI petrol, and 1.2-litre Ecotorq diesel. They will come mated to 5-speed transmissions as standard. An AMT option will be available on the 1.2-litre diesel and petrol engines.  

Previously, Hyundai had revealed design sketches of the upcoming Aura compact sedan. The sketches revealed a Grand i10 Nios like front end with a cascading grille, projector headlamps and LED DRLs. Expect a similar interior to the Nios as well as more premium kit.   

It will be sold alongside the Xcent sub-4-metre sedan in the lineup and command a premium owing to the upgrades expected. Sources have reported the Xcent will continue to be sold to fleet buyers after the Aura's launch. The Aura rivals the Honda Amaze and Volkswagen Ameo once it is launched in the Indian market.
