Hyundai Aura

Positives:

• It is available with a Type-C USB charger, wireless phone charger, and cruise control.

• Short drivers will find an appropriate driving position due to the height-adjustable driver’s seat.

• There is a 3.5-inch multi-information display on the instrument cluster, push-button start and stop, and tyre pressure monitoring.

• It has an eight-inch touchscreen audio player with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and voice recognition.

• The second row has a centrally placed AC vent and a 12V outlet for charging convenience.

• Storage can be found in the centre console via the two cup holders and a small slot for a smartphone or wallet and there are dual cup holders on the rear centre armrest.

Negatives:

• Tall drivers will find it challenging to find a comfortable position due to the fixed headrests.
• As the rear seat height is marginally low, getting in and out of the Aura can become cumbersome.
• Three adults will find the rear seat in the Aura to be a squeeze.

Positives:

• It comes with standard features like six airbags, ABS with EBD, three-point seatbelts and reminders for all seats, rear parking sensors, and an emergency stop signal.
• There are functions like electronic stability control, vehicle stability management, hill-start assist, speed-sensing auto door lock, and impact-sensing auto door unlock.
• It also gets automatic headlamps, rear camera with static guidelines, and an ISOFIX child seat anchor.

Negatives:

• The Hyundai Aura does not have a safety rating from the NCAP agency.
• This compact sedan does not benefit from any ADAS functionalities.

Positives:

• It gets Z-shaped LED taillamps, bootlid spoiler, chrome garnish on the bootlid and outside door handles, turn indicators on door mirrors, and a shark-fin antenna.

• The dual-tone theme combined with the footwell lighting and light-coloured upholstery imparts a premium feel.

• The large grille with a glossy black finish, projector headlamps, inverted L-shaped LED DRLs, and 15-inch diamond cut alloys are eye-catching.

• The textured dashboard and centre console are finished in a shade of brown that looks exceedingly good.

• The Aura is available in paint shades such as Typhoon Silver, Starry Night, Teal Blue, Atlas White, Fiery Red, and Titan Grey.

Negatives:

• We feel that the rear portion of the Hyundai Aura looks bulky and displeasing.
