Hyundai India has just introduced a new S AMT variant for the 2025 Aura, making automatic driving more accessible and affordable for buyers.
Making Automatic More Affordable
The primary goal behind the launch of the new Aura S AMT variant is to offer an automatic transmission option at a more competitive price point. This move caters to a wider audience looking for the convenience of an automatic without a hefty premium.
Priced at Rs. 8.08 lakh (ex-showroom), the S AMT variant is strategically positioned to be more budget-friendly than the existing automatic variants of the Aura. This makes it an attractive choice for those upgrading from manual cars or first-time automatic car buyers.
Under the Hood: Performance Details
The 2025 Hyundai Aura S AMT is powered by a reliable 1.2-litre petrol engine. This engine is designed to deliver a balanced performance, suitable for both city commutes and occasional highway drives.
It produces 82bhp of power and 114Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a five-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) system, which provides a smooth and hassle-free driving experience, eliminating the need for constant gear changes in traffic.
Feature-Packed for Safety and Convenience
Despite being an entry-level automatic variant, the Aura S AMT doesn’t skimp on essential features. Hyundai has equipped it with a comprehensive set of safety and convenience technologies to enhance occupant protection and driving ease.
Safety features include six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Hill Start Assist Control, which prevents the car from rolling backward on inclines. It also comes with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for added safety awareness.
For convenience, the S AMT variant boasts electric folding ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors) with integrated turn indicators, a feature usually found in higher-end models. These additions enhance the overall value proposition of the car.
Expanding the Aura Lineup
The introduction of the S AMT variant follows Hyundai’s recent launch of the ‘Corporate’ variant for the Aura. This indicates Hyundai’s strategy to diversify the Aura’s offerings to meet varied customer needs and budget requirements.
Unlike the S AMT, the ‘Corporate’ variant offers both petrol and CNG fuel options and is positioned between the S and SX trims. This ensures that the Aura lineup has a suitable option for almost every type of buyer.
- The 2025 Aura S AMT is Hyundai’s most affordable automatic variant for the sedan.
- It comes with a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with a 5-speed AMT.
- Key features include six airbags, ESC, hill start assist, and electric folding ORVMs.
With these new additions, the Hyundai Aura continues to be a strong contender in the compact sedan segment, offering a blend of style, features, and now, even more accessible automatic convenience.
