Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has unveiled an upgraded version of its popular compact sedan, the 2025 Hyundai Aura SX, tailored for the Indian market. This refreshed five-seater model introduces a host of premium features, elevating its appeal for both individual buyers and fleet operators. Priced at Rs. 8.23 lakh (ex-showroom) for the petrol manual variant and Rs. 9.20 lakh (ex-showroom) for the CNG option, the Aura SX combines style, technology, and efficiency to compete in the bustling compact sedan segment.
New Features for a Modern Drive
The 2025 Hyundai Aura SX boasts several enhancements designed to enhance comfort and convenience. Among the standout additions are sleek projector headlamps that offer improved visibility and a sophisticated look. The cabin now features an automatic climate control system, ensuring a pleasant driving experience in varying weather conditions. These updates are available across both petrol and CNG powertrain options, catering to diverse buyer preferences.
The sedan retains its impressive suite of features, including a vibrant eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with seamless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. A rearview camera with static guidelines enhances parking precision, while the smart key with push-button start/stop adds a layer of convenience. The vehicle rides on stylish 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, giving it a distinctive and premium stance on the road.
Powertrain and Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Hyundai Aura SX remains mechanically unchanged, delivering reliable performance for urban and highway driving. It is powered by a 1.2L Kappa petrol engine that generates 83 PS of power and 114 Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a smooth five-speed manual transmission or an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) for added ease. The CNG variant, paired exclusively with a five-speed manual gearbox, produces 69 PS and 95.2 Nm, offering an economical and eco-friendly alternative for cost-conscious drivers.
Competitive Edge in the Market
The Hyundai Aura SX continues to challenge top players in Indiaโs compact sedan segment, including the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Tata Tigor, and Honda Amaze. Built on the updated platform of the Grand i10 Nios, the Aura has carved a niche since its debut in January 2020. Its blend of modern design, practical features, and fuel efficiency makes it a favorite among personal buyers and fleet operators alike.
In 2023, the Aura received a facelift with a refreshed front fascia and an upgraded feature set, ensuring it stayed competitive in a dynamic market. The recent introduction of the Aura S AMT trim in July 2025, priced at Rs. 8.07 lakh (ex-showroom), further expanded the lineup, offering a mid-spec option with a robust feature list to bridge the gap between entry-level and higher trims.

Why the 2025 Hyundai Aura SX Stands Out
The 2025 Hyundai Aura SX is a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of affordability, modern technology, and fuel efficiency.

Whether navigating city streets or cruising on highways, the Aura SX delivers a refined and practical driving experience tailored to Indian roads.
