Hyundai Aura vs Maruti Suzuki Dzire: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Aura starts at ₹6.00L against the Maruti Suzuki Dzire's ₹6.26L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.26L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹8.60L, where the Aura tops out. Past that only the Dzire has anything left to sell you, up to ₹9.31L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹8.60L to both showrooms and you come out with the Aura SX at ₹8.60L or the Dzire ZXi at ₹8.23L, the Dzire leaving ₹0.37L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.37L more for the Aura SX: tyre pressure monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (8" against 7") and auto-folding wing mirrors. At that price, we would stretch.
- Going to the Aura SX, you give up wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, connected car tech and ISOFIX child seat anchorages, which the Dzire ZXi keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZXi if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.37L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Aura SX if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
