Hyundai has launched the Aura compact sedan and priced it from Rs 6.29 lakh-8.87 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The update brings a revised fascia but the car remains the same from the sides and the rear. Furthermore, the Aura gets new additions to the equipment list like a new instrument cluster, Type-C charging ports and footwell lighting. We take a closer look at what features are being offered with each trim.
