Designing what would be named the North American Car of the Year wasn't easy. We had to think differently about power, handling and comfort--about the driving experience itself and what it could be at its best. The end result? The Aura: an enlightened Sedan with premium features in all three available models. The formula was simple. Combine an arresting exterior and a well appointed and refined interior with a built-to-perform, 3.6L V6 engine that maximizes fuel economy without sacrificing performance.
