The headlamps are not more stylish and clear glass with a better aesthetic appeal, a new bonnet panel which is slightly smaller than the old model. The front grille also drops some of the chrome on the horizontal strip and gives a different looks to the upper grille with chrome Hyundai Emblem in the middle.
The lower part of the bumper is also differently sculpted in hexagonal shape and looks much different when you look at both the pictures side by side. The fog lamps housings are also a total upgrade with triangular fog lamp design like in other fluidic designs including Hyundai Verna Fluidic and small cars like Hyundai Eon and Hyundai i10. Another thing which is slightly less noticeable is that the front bonnet panel has has more widely spaced lines running along from the the front bumpers till the end of bonnet panel before the wipers.
