Hyundai has expanded its Aura lineup in India with the introduction of a new S AMT variant, offering a more budget-friendly option for buyers looking for an automatic transmission without stretching their wallet. This launch comes shortly after the company rolled out the Corporate Edition, highlighting Hyundai’s focus on increasing accessibility across its sedan range.
Affordable Automatic for Budget Buyers
The newly introduced Aura S AMT is priced at ₹8.08 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable automatic variants in the segment. Positioned below the existing automatic trims, this model aims to cater to customers seeking convenience without compromising on value.

Engine and Transmission Details
Under the hood, the Aura S AMT is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine delivering 82 bhp and 114 Nm of peak torque. The powertrain is paired with a five-speed automated manual transmission (AMT), designed to provide a smooth yet cost-effective driving experience. This combination makes it a practical choice for daily commuters who want the ease of an automatic without a steep price tag.
Safety and Convenience Features
Despite being an entry-level AMT option, Hyundai has packed the Aura S AMT with several key features. Safety equipment includes six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Start Assist, and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Additionally, it gets electric-folding ORVMs with integrated turn indicators, enhancing both functionality and style.
How It Fits in the Aura Lineup
The Aura lineup has recently seen the addition of the Corporate Edition, which is available with both petrol and CNG options and sits between the S and SX trims. Unlike the Corporate variant, the new S AMT focuses solely on delivering an affordable automatic driving experience in the petrol-only configuration.
