Similar to the other CNG variants, the new Hyundai Aura E variant uses the 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine with a factory-fitted CNG kit. The setup delivers 69hp of power and 95Nm of torque. The gasoline unit alone produces a maximum power of 83hp and 114Nm of torque. The CNG variant is available only with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
In other updates, the South Korean automaker is ready to launch the Alcazar facelift on 9th September 2024. The three-row SUV will receive minor design changes and feature upgrades while retaining the engine-gearbox combinations. The 2024 Hyundai Alcazar will have a dashboard layout similar to the Creta, featuring dual screen displays – a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster.
The SUV has a dual-tone interior theme with features such as cooled rear seats, dual-zone climate control, and an ADAS suite. Interestingly, the new Alcazar offers space between the middle and third-row seats to walk through and individual armrests, as the fixed center console between the captain seats has been removed. Similar to the current model lineup, the updated one is likely to be offered in four trims – Executive, Prestige, Platinum, and Signature.
