We’re now previewing the addition of PostgreSQL compatibility to Amazon Aurora. This edition has the benefits customers have come to expect from Aurora, including high durability, high availability, and the ability to quickly deploy low latency read replicas while supporting the full SQL dialect and functionality of PostgreSQL 9.6.

Storage cost, performance and auto-scaling are also big advantages.
Auto scaling in RDS? That'd require a multi-master cluster. As far as I know, that's impossible on RDS, Aurora or not.
I should have been more clear. I was referring to storage auto-scaling. Aurora gives you access to up to 64TB of disk billed in 10GB increments. You don't need to preallocate and manage the scaling of your disk as you do with RDS.
Autoscaling of storage at least (up to 64 TB).
