Key highlights
- Hyundai strengthens the Aura SX with projector headlamps and automatic climate control
- Available in both petrol and CNG options
- Prices start at INR 8.23 lakh (ex-showroom)
Hyundai Motor India has refreshed the SX variant of the Aura sedan with a set of updates aimed at boosting comfort and convenience. The company has added projector headlamps for better visibility and a Fully Automatic Temperature Control (FATC) system, which makes cabin cooling more efficient. These updates are part of Hyundai’s push to keep its entry-level sedan appealing in a crowded segment.
Key Features
The SX trim already comes loaded with features that add practicality and value. The 20.25 cm touchscreen infotainment unit continues to be the highlight, paired with a rear-view camera that comes with static guidelines. Customers also get smart key access with push-button start/stop, along with R15 diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The addition of projector headlamps should improve night driving confidence, while FATC eliminates the hassle of manual air-con adjustments. Together, these features make the Aura SX a more well-rounded package.
Pricing and Variants
The Aura SX is available in two versions:
- SX MT Petrol: INR 8,23,800 (ex-showroom)
- SX CNG: INR 9,20,100 (ex-showroom)
This dual offering ensures that both conventional buyers and those looking for lower running costs have an option.
Competitors
In its segment, the Aura SX rivals the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor. While each of these models brings its strengths, Hyundai’s frequent updates to the Aura help it stay fresh in the game. The projector headlamps and automatic climate control now bring the Aura closer in feel to higher-segment sedans, giving it an edge in terms of features per rupee.
Final Thoughts
With projector headlamps and automatic climate control now in the mix, Hyundai has addressed two small but meaningful gaps. It may not scream premium, but for someone who wants practicality without missing out on modern-day conveniences, the SX variant makes a solid case.
