The Hyundai Aura has established itself as one of the most practical and stylish compact sedans in India. Positioned as the sedan sibling of the Grand i10 Nios, it appeals to both families and fleet buyers with its spacious cabin, multiple fuel options, and a long list of features. The Aura competes directly with rivals such as the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Honda Amaze, and Tata Tigor.
Now, with the rollout of the GST 2.0 reforms, effective from September 22, 2025, the Aura is set to become even more affordable. The government’s decision to simplify and rationalise GST rates for small cars directly benefits compact sedans like the Aura by lowering their tax burden.
Currently, the petrol and CNG variants of the Hyundai Aura attract 28% GST plus 1% cess, totalling 29%. Under the new GST 2.0 policy, both petrol and CNG models will fall under a uniform 18% flat GST with no cess, resulting in clear price cuts across the line-up.
