In India’s compact sedan space, buyers often look for a car that is easy to drive, comfortable for family use, and packed with features. The Hyundai Aura fits this requirement well, especially in its top automatic variant which is the AURA 1.2 Kappa Petrol AMT SX+, priced at around Rs 8.29 lakh (ex-showroom).
Design
The Aura has a clean and simple design, with a few premium touches. It gets LED DRLs, projector headlamps, and diamond-cut alloy wheels, which give it a slightly premium look. The Z-shaped LED tail lamps at the rear make it stand out, especially at night. Its compact size makes it easy to drive and park in crowded city areas.
Engine And Automatic
The Aura SX+ is powered by a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine. It produces around 82 bhp and
113.8 Nm torque, which is enough for daily city driving and occasional highway trips.
The key highlight here is the 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission), which means no clutch pedal, easy stop-and-go driving and less fatigue in traffic. Mileage is around 17-20 kmpl, making it fairly efficient for daily use.
Comfort And Features
Hyundai has focused heavily on comfort and convenience in this top variant as you get 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charger, push-button start/stop, automatic climate control and rear AC vents. These features make the car feel modern and easy to live with.

Space And Practicality
Even though it is compact, the Aura offers good space. It comes with 402-litre boot space, which is quite large for this segment, comfortable seating for five passengers, good headroom and legroom for city use. This makes it suitable for small families and daily commuting.
Safety
One of the biggest highlights of the Aura is its safety package as it comes with 6 airbags as standard, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), Hill-start Assist and rear parking camera with sensors, which means better protection and more confidence while driving.
Dimensions
The Aura measures 3995 mm in length and has a 2450 mm wheelbase. These compact dimensions make it easy to handle in tight spaces, which is important for city users. The Aura SX+ AMT is designed for people who want an easy automatic car, good features at a reasonable price and a comfortable family vehicle. It is especially useful for daily city driving where traffic is heavy.
The Hyundai Aura top variant offers a strong mix of comfort, safety, and ease of driving. It may not be a performance car, but it does what most buyers need, which is simple, reliable and practical driving.
