Hyundai recently took the wraps off the Aura facelift and opened bookings for the sub-compact, B2-segment sedan. In this article, we explain the updates and changes it offers over the older model.

Hyundai Aura Old Vs Facelift — Design Changes

The new Aura facelift comes with a fresher design with a couple of small changes that help it differentiate itself from the outgoing model. To start with, the Aura facelift gets an updated grille that sits lower and gets a larger mesh pattern. The LED DRLs now get an L-shaped design and sit lower on the bumper. Due to the low placement of the LED DRLs, the Aura misses out on fog lights. Around the side, the Aura facelift gets 5-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels and chrome door handles. At the rear, the new Aura doesn’t come with any changes over the outgoing model.

On the inside, there is nothing much to differentiate between the 2 models. The only perceptible change on the inside is the inclusion of a twin-dial setup for the instrument cluster.

The facelift also gets a new dual-tone colour scheme for the dashboard and door panels whereas the dashboard continues to get bronze inserts.
