Hyundai Aura has been one of the best selling compact sedans in India over the last few years. It was first introduced in 2020 and a facelift version was released in 2023. Since then, we haven't seen much of this car but it has surely been among the primary vehicles as far as private and commercial car buyers are concerned. The sleek design and premium interiors of Aura make it eye-pleasing. The earlier versions of the Aura car came with diesel and turbo petrol engine options. However, as the government enforced strict BS6 norms, they were discontinued leaving 1.2-litre petrol with or without the CNG kit as the only options for the car buyers. The specifications and features of Hyundai Aura are discussed in the below sections of this blog.
