Hyundai Aura, the all-new subcompact sedan from the South Korean carmaker, has finally made its debut at a media event in Chennai. Its launch is likely to happen at the Delhi Auto Expo in February, 2020.

The diesel version of the subcompact sedan will use the Grandi10 Nios’s 1.2L U2 CRDi engine that’s good enough for 74bhp and 190Nm. It can be had either with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. Read – Hyundai To Launch 6 All-New Cars Next Year
