Hyundai Aura Price in Nepal and Availability
As of this writing, the Hyundai Aura is now available in Nepal. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any major event that one would normally expect. But something is better than nothing, right?
As for the pricing, the Hyundai Aura price in Nepal is set at Rs. 35,96,000.
If you consider the sheer number of features on offer, at least at this price point, Hyundai Aura seems like a great deal.
But there’s a catch!
It’s a sedan, not a hatchback or an SUV. Let’s not forget that these are appealing to Nepali customers over the sedan.
Well, Hyundai claims it to be a sedan. Sadly, the styling looks a little awkward, ensuing in a mismatch between the front and the rear section. The front looks like a hatchback whereas the rear looks like something.
I think Hyundai Nepal knows about this as well, that’s why we get a single variant of the Hyundai Aura.
In any case, the Aura is feature-loaded which makes it an appealing sedan, especially in a market where companies hide their features behind options and variants.
