Hyundai Aura

Hyundai Aura Compact Sedan Launched At INR 5.80 Lakh

The Hyundai Aura is the carmaker’s first launch in the new decade and a model which will sit alongside the Xcent. Equipped with new engines and many bells and whistles, the NIOS-based Aura will be up against what has been India’s most popular car along with the Alto, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. However, unlike the Dzire which will only be offered with a petrol engine in the BS6 era, the Aura will continue to offer the choice of a diesel motor.

The other option includes a 1.0-litre turbo GDi petrol and 1.2-litre MPI petrol engines which are tuned to produce 100PS /172Nm and 83PS/113Nm of torque respectively.
