MUMBAI: Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) is shifting gears on accessibility, adding a fresh variant to its popular sedan range — the Hyundai Aura S AMT. With this move, the brand brings its advanced automated manual transmission (AMT) to a broader swathe of young Indian buyers hungry for style, convenience, and comfort, without breaking the bank.

Commenting on the introduction of the new variant,  Hyundai Motor India Ltd whole-time director and chief operating officer, Tarun Garg said, “At HMIL, we are committed to making smart mobility accessible to a wider set of customers. The introduction of advanced AMT transmission in Hyundai Aura S AMT reflects our continuous efforts to democratize technology and enhance convenience for customers. With this introduction, we aim to redefine the value proposition in the entry segment by offering superior comfort, safety, performance and convenience at an affordable price.”

Powered by the punchy 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine, the new S AMT variant is tailor-made for urban drivers seeking a smoother commute without the price tag of a full-blown automatic.

The S AMT packs a solid safety and feature punch, including:

●    Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

●    Hill Start Assist Control (HAC)

●    Six airbags

●    LED daytime running lamps (DRLs)

●    Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Highline)

●    Electrically folding ORVMs with integrated turn indicators

With its slick combo of practicality and premium touches, Hyundai’s latest launch is a clear play to seduce value-driven sedan buyers looking to swap gear-grinding for easy cruising.

The Aura S AMT joins a line-up that continues to grow on Indian roads, now with a little more automation and a lot more allure.
