• Several prototypes of the car have already been spotted on Indian roads. Unlike the previous strategy of creating a premium version of an existing car with a slightly different name, Hyundai has decided to altogether change the name of this upcoming car.

• Analysing the spy pics, the Aura will be slightly upmarket that the i10 Nios with LED projector headlamps with LED DRLs, diamond-cut alloys, a new smart infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and other features.
• The new Aura will most likely be launched with a reworked BS6 compliant 1.2-litre Kappa petrol and the U2 1.2-litre diesel engine. An AMT gearbox might also be offered
• When launched, the Aura sedan will compete with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Honda Amaze, Tata Tigor, Ford Aspire
