Hyundai Aura Old Vs Facelift — Updates And Changes Explained | V3Cars

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.
