Verdict
Hyundai Exter has proven as a successful product for the company. Awarded as the Indian Car of the Year, the Exter offers a spacious cabin with refined engine performance. However, its lack of CNG powertrain was hindering its sales, which is now expected to improve with the addition of Hy-CNG option.
