Gets cosmetic upgrades and feature additions
The facelifted Hyundai Aura made its public debut at Delhi Auto Expo, days after its global unveiling. This is the first midlife update of the compact sedan since its introduction back in January 2020. Hyundai has updated the styling and added new tech and safety features to the car.
Design Changes
The Aura Facelift features a more upright nose, new two-part split grille with hexagonal patterning in black, new inverted L-shaped daytime running lights, and a sharper front lip. There are no noteworthy differences made to the sides and rear of this vehicle. The boot lip spoiler was earlier offered as an accessory, but now it comes standard on all variants except the base trim.

Additionally, the Aura Facelift can also be had with a factory-installed CNG kit which churns out 69HP and 95.2Nm of Torque.
