Hyundai Aura Exteriors
The car is basically an extension of the Grand i10 Nios and borrows its aesthetics heavily from the recently launched hatchback. In the front the car boasts of a set of projectors in the headlights and the foglights. In the front, though the design has been tweeked a bit to differentiate the sedan from the i10 Nios.

The Hyundai Aura comes with 15-inch alloy wheels.

It's at the rear where the Hyundai Aura really stands out. The C-pillar of the car is blacked out much like the i20. There are brand new Z-shaped taillights to give the car a different look. A chrome garnish runs through the tailgate.
