Talking about the new equipment, the Aura now gets a new rear wing spoiler above its boot lid that surely enhances its overall look. This spoiler will be offered across all variants, apart from the base E trim. Also, the 15-inch steel rims on the AMT variants will now get a gunmetal finish instead of the 3M graphics. Now the thing that has been removed is the Arkamys audio system that was offered from SX trim onwards. However, the base E variant will now be provided with a spare wheel of 13-inch steel rim.
