Hyundai Exter

Hyundai Exter will be the name of the South Korean carmaker’s newest model for the Indian marker. With the Exter, Hyundai will be entering the fast-growing micro-SUV segment in India, thus competing with rivals like the Tata Punch and the Citroen C3. The Hyundai Exter will be offered in five variants that include EX, S, SX, SX(O) & SX(O) Connect, and bookings for the car have opened for a token of Rs. 11,000.

Visually the car gets SUV-like styling with sharp muscular lines, flared wheel arches, heavy cladding, and roof rails. At the same time, the styling is in line with the company’s global design language, which we have already seen on the Ioniq 5 and Verna. The car gets a squared-off face with a clamshell-style bonnet, H-pattern LED daytime running lamps, and projector headlights in rectangular, chrome-bezel housing. We also see a blacked-out Parametric Grille and the ‘EXTER’ lettering above it, along with a cladded front bumper and faux silver skid plate.

Hyundai will offer the Exter with diamond-cut alloy wheels, roof rails and dual-tone colour options. The rear section of the car has not been revealed, however, based on the spy photos we saw earlier, the car will get connected taillamps with LED lighting, a floating-style rood design, a muscular hatch and a beefy rear bumper.

The car will be offered in 6 monotone and 3 dual-tone exterior colours, including 2 new colours – Cosmic Blue and Ranger Khaki, it’s the latter we get to see in these images.

The Hyundai Exter will come equipped with a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine that is E20 fuel ready and will be available with 5-speed manual transmission and an optional Smart Auto AMT (Automated Manual Transmission). There will also be a 1.2-litre Bi-fuel Kappa petrol + CNG engine equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission.
