Hyundai Aura Attracts Discounts of up to Rs 33,000 in May 2023

For May 2023, several Hyundai dealerships in India are giving discounts on a few products across its entire range. These benefits can be had in the form of cash discounts, exchange bonuses, as well as corporate discounts. Coming to the details of the offers, the Hyundai Aura comes with a cash discount of up to Rs 20,000, a Rs 10,000 exchange bonus, and a Rs 3,000 corporate discount. It is important to note that these benefits are available across the complete variant lineup of the model, including CNG versions. For those unaware, Hyundai launched the all-new Aura in India earlier this year, and soon after the pricing was revealed, the car endured a waiting time of up to eight weeks. A modified engine that conforms with the most recent set of emission norms in the country was also included in this MY23 upgrade, in addition to changes to the external design and feature package.

2023 Hyundai Aura: Exterior 

This sedan's appearance now features new black radiator grilles and LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) on the front bumper. Notably, the Aura has a broader stance thanks to the redesigned front bumper. The new Aura facelift's R15 Diamond Cut Alloy wheels add to the sedan's attractiveness. The outside door handles in chrome only serve to highlight it. The rear wing spoiler on the sedan provides it a broader, sportier, and bolder look, while the rear chrome lends it a more luxurious feel. Additionally, the compact Hyundai car now comes in a new Starry Night colour choice instead of the Vintage Brown option from the outgoing generation.

2023 Hyundai Aura: Engine and Gearbox

There are no mechanical changes to the 1.2-litre engine that drives the 2023 Aura. When coupled to either a 5-speed manual or an AMT transmission, this engine can provide a maximum output of 82bhp and a maximum torque of 114Nm. The 1.2-litre petrol engine in the Aura, which only comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox and generates 68bhp and 95Nm of torque, is also getting a factory-installed CNG kit from the manufacturer. At the moment, all powertrains are RDE-compliant and E20 fuel ready. The new model no longer offers the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, which had a maximum power output of 99bhp and 172Nm of torque.

2023 Hyundai Aura: Interior Features

In terms of the revamped Aura's interior, the sedan now has new seat cloth with a streamlined pattern and style. The sophisticated fabric upholstery with the Aura logo, the chrome-finished gear knob, the leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, the parking lever tip, and the metal-finished inside door handles all add to the charm. The sedan's list of convenience features still includes the 8.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, rear AC vents, movable rear headrests, automated climate control, and a wireless charger. However, higher-spec models now come with extra amenities including Type-C charging ports, an upgraded 3.5-inch MID in the instrument cluster, and better footwell lighting. 

2023 Hyundai Aura: Variants and Safety Features

The 2023 Aura has an array of enhanced comfort and safety features over the outgoing model and is available in five trim levels: E, S, SX, SX(O), and SX+. Four airbags, ABS, and EBD are now included as standard equipment; top-spec models include six airbags, ESC, ISOFIX anchors, hill-hold assist, and automated headlights.
