Who it suits

Why it fits

City commuters

As per us, the Aura is a relaxed A-to-B car. The smooth engine keeps up with traffic easily, and its compact size makes it simple to drive and park in tight spots.

New drivers

The light steering, slick gearbox and light clutch make driving stress-free. Hence, it would be an easy car to get used to.

High-mileage users

The CNG version keeps running costs low. In our real-world tests, it returned 26.74km/kg overall and as much as 31.43km/kg on the highway.

Small families who travel with luggage

The 402-litre boot can store plenty of luggage.

Buyers who value build quality

We found the cabin bright and its fit and finish top-notch. Therefore, it feels well put together for the money.
