Hyundai Exter

The Hyundai Exter has received its first major update, making it more feature-loaded and bolder with new colour options and subtle styling revisions. The updated Exter now comes with additional safety features that enhance overall safety. Powered by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, it remains one of the most refined small SUVs in its segment. For mileage-conscious buyers, it is also available with a dual-cylinder CNG setup. The dual CNG cylinders ensure that boot space is not compromised much.

Hyundai Exter Latest Update

Last Updated on 4th Apr'25: Hyundai re-jigged the variants of the Exter earlier this year, and it also introduced two new variants as well; the SX Tech and the S+. The S variant was also updated to include new features, while the CNG powertrain option was added to the S Executive and S+ Executive variants. The powertrains, transmission and other mechanicals remain unchanged.

Hyundai India has launched two additional variants of the Exter model: the S+ and S(O)+. The S+ variant, equipped with a manual transmission, is priced at Rs 7.86 lakh, while the S(O)+ variant, which comes with an AMT option, is priced at Rs 8.43 lakh. Both variants now feature the convenience of an electric sunroof.

Pros & Cons of Exter

What we admire in this car

It comes as a feature-loaded offering in its segment

Dual-cylinder CNG ensures good boot space for the CNG owners

Petrol version offers one of the biggest boot in the segment

One of the most well-tuned AMT gearboxes in the segment

The 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder NA petrol engine offers a good level of refinement

Hyundai Exter’s interior is roomier than its rivals

A good number of safety features, 6 airbags, ISOFIX child seat mount, ABS with EBD, ESC, TPMS, SOS Call, and more

Hyundai’s wide sales and service network is a boon for customers

What could have been better

The facelift enhanced its appearance, but looks are still subjective

No option of any turbo or diesel engine

The rear row offers good legroom, but the under-thigh support is not sufficient

The 1.2-litre NA petrol engine is not much fun to drive on highways

The fuel efficiency is not that great in city driving conditions

It misses some features, such as auto-dimming IRVM, split rear seat, among others

Should I buy the Exter?

The Hyundai Exter is one of the most feature-loaded small SUVs you can buy under ₹10 lakh in the Indian market. With the latest update, the brand has enhanced its exterior appearance and refreshed the interior with new colour options and added features. The 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine is one of the most refined in the segment, along with a highly responsive and lag-free AMT gearbox option. Moreover, the availability of a dual-cylinder CNG option makes it more practical for CNG buyers. Hyundai is more focused on quality and refinement than its rivals in this segment, which further adds to the Exter's appeal. However, if you are looking for a turbo-petrol engine, the Citroën C3X could be a suitable alternative.
