Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) will soon launch a new compact SUV in India called the Exter. The new C-SUV will be released in the coming months, and test mule versions of the car have been spotted numerous times being tested in India and on the international market.

Hyundai Exter Design Renders
Based on spy images of the test mules, new renderings were created. The C-SUV will be slightly larger than the Casper SUV sold in the international market and will be marketed towards Gen Z consumers. Recent renderings indicate that the SUV will have an attractive front profile with H-shaped LED DRLs, LED headlamps that are vertically positioned, a blackened parametric front grille, sporty air vents in the lower grille, and other sporty components. The bonnet's ridges give the car a powerful appearance.
To give the SUV an attractive look from the side, wide wheel arches, and six-spoke alloy wheels have been placed on either side of the vehicle. Additionally, roof rails are embellished on the side profile, giving the SUV an elevated appearance. The SUV's side pillars are painted in a black colour. Although the back isn't shown in the renderings, we can expect a connected LED tail lamp like on other current Hyundai cars.

Upcoming Hyundai Exter Engine Specifications
The Exter is likely to be powered by the Venue's 1.2-liter NA petrol engine. This engine will produce 83 PS of power and a maximum torque of 114 Nm. Hyundai may employ either an automated gearbox or a 5-speed manual gearbox for gearbox duties. A 1.0-liter petrol turbocharged engine with 120 PS and 172 Nm of maximum torque could also be introduced by Hyundai at a later point.
Hyundai Exter - Launch & Rivals
In the coming months, the Exter (Ai3) is expected to be released. The Exter is anticipated to cost between Rs 6 and 12 lakhs (ex-showroom) in order to rival small SUVs like the Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite, Citroen C3, and others on the Indian market.
Verdict: In the Indian market, the new Hyundai Exter could be a potent opponent for C-SUVs. Although Hyundai has not provided a debut date, we believe the Exter will make its debut in June or July. Join the 91Wheels Whatsapp group to receive the most recent automotive industry information.
