THE HYUNDAI AURA IS A CAR THAT replaced the Xcent in the compact sedan space in 2020. The Aura is essentially a Grand i1o Nios with a large boot and, for 2023, the car gets a facelift along with some additional features.

Starting from the exterior, the car's front end now gets a new bumper sporting a mesh grille. Now upside-down L-shaped LED daytime running lights (DRL) have replaced the fog-lamps on the previous model. At the rear, the Aura now gets a blacked-out C-pillar, chrome door-handles, and a really nice touch in the form of a spoiler that gives it a sportier stance. The mid-trim gets steel wheels, while the top trims are offered with diamond-cut alloy wheels. There are six monotone colour schemes to choose from: Polar White, Titan Grey, Typhoon Silver, Starry Night (new), Teal Blue, and Fiery Red.
