Hyundai Aura AMT becomes more affordable with the launch of new S variant

The Hyundai Aura is priced between Rs 6.49 lakh and Rs 9.05 lakh, making it more affordable than the Honda Amaze, which starts at Rs 8 lakh. In terms of engine specifications, the Aura features a 1.2L four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that delivers 82 bhp and 114 Nm of torque, comparable to the Amaze's 1.2L engine with 89 bhp and the Dzire's 1.2L engine with 82 bhp.

Both the Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor are equipped with essential safety features such as six airbags and ABS with EBD. However, the Aura also includes features like Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Hill Start Assist Control (HAC), which enhance its safety profile. The Tigor, while safe, may not offer as extensive a suite of advanced safety features as the Aura.

The Hyundai Aura Hy-CNG E trim, priced at Rs 7.49 lakh, offers a bi-fuel engine that produces 68 bhp and 95.2 Nm of torque, along with a fuel efficiency of 28.4 km/kg on CNG. It also includes features like power windows, adjustable rear seat headrests, and a CNG switch for convenience, which are not typically found in the petrol variants.

Hyundai's introduction of multiple variants, such as the Aura Corporate variant, allows customers to choose based on their specific needs and preferences. This variant offers features like a 6.75-inch touchscreen display and rear AC vents, appealing to corporate buyers seeking comfort and technology. By diversifying the lineup, Hyundai caters to various segments, enhancing overall market competitiveness.

The Hyundai Aura's petrol variant offers competitive fuel efficiency, although exact figures may vary by engine type. In contrast, the Aura Hy-CNG variant boasts an impressive 28.4 km/kg on CNG. Comparatively, rivals like the Tata Tigor and Honda Amaze also offer efficient fuel consumption, but the Aura's CNG variant provides a unique eco-friendly option that stands out in the segment.
