Which Hyundai Aura variant should you buy?
Rupee for rupee the ladder pays best at SX: ₹86,000 more than S Corporate, and no variant you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee on the price list.
Above SX the range keeps going, but every upgrade left changes the engine or the gearbox as well as the kit, so there is no honest way to rank them on money per feature. Choose up there on the powertrain you want.
How this is worked out

Why some steps are not ranked
What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. S Corporate to SX asks the least money for each point of kit it hands over on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 25 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, S Corporate to SX: ₹86,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹88,580 to ₹1,07,420 on the road. Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Jharkhand comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
We ranked all 2 of the steps we can compare like for like again in each of those states, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.
Where the kit that matters lands
- Airbags
- All 6 are standard from the base E, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety kit
- SX(O), from ₹8.16L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.
- Do check before you spend past it: the SX+ at ₹8.35L has no ISOFIX child seat anchorages.
- Cheapest automatic
- S Petrol AT, ₹7.39L
Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Aura is sold with 2 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
