Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Hyundai Exter
- Rugged SUV-like looks
- High seating and tall windows offer good driving confidence
- Excellent feature list with exclusives like a dashcam and sunroof
- Effortless drive experience with the AMT
- 6 airbags are offered as standard
Kia Syros
- Rear seat space: a 6’5” tall person can fit behind a 6’ tall driver. Slide and recline function makes it super versatile.
- 390-465-litre boot space: on par with SUVs from one segment above. 60:40 split rear seats on offer too.
- Interior quality, fit, finish is among the best in class.
- Segment best feature set: Panoramic sunroof, L2 ADAS, 360° camera, 30” panoramic display.
- Choice of 1-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. Both available with an automatic.

Hyundai Exter
- Looks are polarising
- Drive lacks excitement and a turbo-petrol engine option
- Safety rating remains to be seen
Kia Syros
- Ride quality is likely to feel slightly bouncy on highways.
- Fuel efficiency of turbo-petrol engine in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic is known to be poor.
