Hyundai Aura On Road Price in Mangalore

Spanning ₹7.30 Lakh to ₹10.33 Lakh on-road in Mangalore, the Hyundai Aura covers a roughly ₹3 Lakh price spread — a meaningful gap for a compact sedan, reflecting the depth of its 11-variant lineup. This range positions the Aura as one of the more accessible sedans in its class, making it particularly relevant for Mangalore's mix of urban commuters and buyers along the coastal belt who want a practical, no-fuss four-door without stretching their budget.

Karnataka levies a 14% road tax on vehicles in the ₹5 Lakh–₹10 Lakh ex-showroom bracket, which covers most Aura variants. However, if any variant's ex-showroom price dips below ₹5 Lakh, a 13% slab applies instead. On top of this, an 11% Infrastructure and Road Safety Cess is added over the road tax amount, along with a ₹1,000 Transport Workers Social Security Cess. Registration, HSRP, and Smart Card fees add another ₹1,200 collectively. For the SX CNG variant priced above ₹10 Lakh on-road, TCS at 1% also kicks in. The on-road price of any vehicle is the total amount a buyer pays at the dealership, combining ex-showroom cost, road tax, registration, insurance, and applicable cess or TCS charges.

The variant ladder starts with the E trim at ₹7.30 Lakh, a stripped-back option suited for those who prioritise running costs over cabin features. Mid-range trims offer a balance of equipment and value, while the SX CNG at ₹10.33 Lakh targets buyers who want both features and the lowest possible fuel bills — especially relevant given Mangalore's stop-and-go city traffic and CNG's cost advantage over petrol. Choosing between the base and top variant essentially comes down to whether daily savings on fuel or upfront affordability matters more.

Petrol variants are available with both Manual and AMT gearboxes, giving buyers flexibility depending on driving preference. The AMT option makes sense for those frequently navigating Mangalore's congested stretches along Bunder and Hampankatta, while the Manual appeals to highway-heavy users or those who prefer direct control. CNG variants, meanwhile, are Manual-only — a trade-off worth noting if you're leaning toward the dual-fuel setup for its running cost benefits. Factoring in insurance (IRDAI-mandated 3-year third-party plus 1-year own damage, calculated at Zone B non-metro rates), the total ownership outlay in the first year becomes clearer. Prospective buyers should compare variant-level on-road prices carefully, accounting for Karnataka's layered tax and cess structure, before committing to a specific trim.
