2023 Hyundai Aura Facelift
The major update in the 2023 Aura is in the front fascia. In place of the Hyundai Aura's single-piece grille, there is now a thin top section and a wider lower element that houses the LED DRLs and sloping air ducts. To make place for the new black grille, the front bumper underwent a minor renovation, making it appear more aggressive.
The entry sedan from Hyundai now has up to six airbags, four of which are standard. Additional safety features include automatic headlights with Vehicle Stability Management, TPMS, ESC, Hill Start Assist Control, and a burglar alarm.
The car's mechanical parameters have not been changed by Hyundai. It still has the same 1.2-liter petrol engine, which produces maximum torque of 113.8 Nm and 83 bhp of power.

Verdict: With the improved safety features and fresh design language, the brand will be able to attract a sizable consumer base despite the growing competition. The primary factor will still be price; if the brand can control it, it will be able to sell a sizable amount of Hyundai's entry-level models.
