After launching the facelift version of the Grand i10 Nios last week, Hyundai Motor has introduced the facelift version of its smallest sedan - the Aura. The Korean carmaker launched the new-look sub-compact sedan at a starting price of 6.30 lakh (ex-showroom). It now comes with several new features and a new exterior colour scheme. Launched for the first time back in 2019, the Aura had replaced the Xcent sedan in Hyundai's lineup in an effort to boost sales. This is the first major facelift the sedan has received since its launch three years ago.

Hyundai Aura will compete in the sub-compact sedan segment which is currently dominated by Maruti Suzuki Dzire. The Aura will also lock horns with the likes of Tata Tigor and Honda Amaze sedans. We pick the Honda Amaze to compare where the new Hyundai Aura stands in terms of its price structure, features on offer and specifications.
