Professional Reviews

• “...the mild hybrid powertrain in this car is not particularly handy at acceleration or saving fuel.” — Car and Driver
• “With a base price of $22,695, this is the cheapest hybrid on the market today, but just barely. The Aura only undercuts the Toyota Prius by $100.” — Car and Driver
• “ll you have to do to tell if the Aura Green Line is running or not is to be in it, since the 2.4-liter four-cylinder is as smooth and quiet as a riot in a minefield.” — Car and Driver
• “This lethargic acceleration is due also to the gearing in the four-speed automatic, which, to keep revs down at speed, stretches the ratios farther than an engine with only 159 pound-feet of torque should.” — Car and Driver
• “Well, the people have spoken, and they already seem to think the Aura is a handsome car. We do.” — Car and Driver
• “The Aura looks larger and more mature than its platform-sharing sister sedans. It bears the new Saturn styling direction first seen in the Sky roadster, and it looks good here.” — Cars.com
