Highlights

  • Aura facelift to be available with 1.2-litre petrol and CNG engine options
  • Will be available in 5 variants
  • Gets updated styling and interior along with additional safety kit as standard

Hyundai has unveiled the facelift of the Aura subcompact sedan along with opening the order books for the car. The booking amount is set at Rs 11,000 with interested customers able to book the vehicle via Hyundai’s website or at dealerships.

As with the recently unveiled Grand i10 Nios facelift, the Aura facelift gets a revised front fascia with a new design grille, and bumper. The grille is now wider and more rectangular in shape with body-coloured inserts on the sides featuring inverted L-shaped LED daytime running lamps. A second smaller grille now sits between the headlamps. Moving to the sides and rear, design updates are minimal with the rear bumper, tail lamps and alloy wheels all carried over from the outgoing model. The Aura though now gets the addition of a rear spoiler with a third stop light. The new Hyundai Aura will be offered in 6 colours – Polar White, Titan Grey, Typhoon Silver, Starry Night (New), Teal Blue and Fiery Red.
