The Aura is the premium derivative of the E13 Note. It has wider exterior styling, improved cabin materials, additional sound insulation and stronger e-POWER performance.

A petrol engine produces electricity for the traction system, while the electric motor drives the wheels. The driver refuels with petrol and does not plug the car in.

Japanese-market Aura models were offered in front-wheel-drive and electric-assisted four-wheel-drive forms. The imported vehicle's model code should be checked.

The standard Aura provides the premium body and drivetrain, while the G Leather Edition adds a more luxurious leather-focused interior specification.

It provides five-seat compact-car accommodation with useful rear legroom. The wider body improves the sense of space, but it remains smaller than a crossover or large sedan.

Depending on options, the Aura can include ProPilot, emergency braking, lane assistance, blind-spot monitoring, cameras and intelligent parking support.

It is comfortable on normal urban roads, but its imported-car ride height and low-profile tyres require care over large speed breakers and damaged surfaces.
