Exterior

Coolness of this car shines like a diamond when you feels it's aura. Design is not that sharp but overall car looks good and defines its segment.

Front face 
As we all know that Aura is based on Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS so the front face looks like NIOS the grill, the lights and the same boomerang style LED DRLs but this time there are four boomerangs, two-two at the both end of the grill and it looks good.
Aura is equipped with halogen headlamps and fog lamps. As always you will also found turn indicators on the OVRM.

Side profile
From side it's not that slick as we except from a sedan but then the term hit the bulls eye, it's a compact sedan.
Windows are big which helps to keep the cabin fresh, 15 inch wheels looks little bit smaller 16 would be better, alloy design is very cool and looks fab.
Black treatment on the c pillar breaks that same colour momentum, mind blowing. This thing nowadays is on most of the Hyundai cars.

Back Side
Now here is the new thing, the boot, why new thing? Because NIOS is not a sedan. So  here you can see the sharpness and those beautiful Z shaped tail lights which were in controversy when Aura launched.
The black touch on the boot which connects both end tail light and makes the back side very interesting and exciting, just above this touch the Aura is written over there.
If you see the diffuser such black work is also there, very sporty.
The boot gate carve in such a way that the above portion of the gate is a spoiler but there is no spoiler, attention to detail applause.

Interior

The cabin is pretty comfortable, rear seats have decent amount of space leg room is good, knee  room would have been better, under thigh support is also decent but if a person who is taller than average have some struggle. Rear center arm rest with dual cup holders, space for magzine is also there, two adjustable headrest. Overall seats are quite comfortable.
Coming to front seats, they are also comfortable but with fixed headrest and little side bolsters kinda hugs you.

Dual tone dashboard similar to NIOS, based. The dashboard is busy somehow but looks good. The instrument cluster have sporty vibes and is  a misture of digital and analog. Three spoke steering wheel is very crunchy and feels good, you can adjust a height but not reach.
Graphics on the board looks good and cool glove box helps you to keep yourself cool at traffic.
