    Let’s see how the Hyundai Exter sizes up against its main rivals

    Hyundai Exter is the smallest SUV from the Korean marque in India and arrives as the latest addition to the micro-SUV segment. It competes directly with the Tata Punch and Maruti Ignis, even though the latter is not as SUV-like as the others. So let’s find out how the Exter fares against them in terms of size and powertrains.

    Boot space

    260 litres (up to parcel tray)

    The Tata Punch is the longest and the widest while the Exter is the tallest, which helps it enhance its SUV persona. The wheelbase of both these models are almost the same with the Exter having extra 5 mm. Hyundai’s offering also promises more luggage capacity, likely thanks to the taller design.

    The Ignis, on the other hand, is smaller than the Exter and Punch in all aspects, making it the smaller offering. It may seem like it has a tiny boot by comparison, but it is worth noting that the Exter and Punch are stating their capacities till the roof, not just the parcel shelf.

    All three models offer a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with the choice of either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. Out of all three, Punch’s engine produces the highest power and torque, which gives it a slight edge over the others. However, the Exter is currently the only model in this segment to offer a CNG powertrain.

    The Punch CNG is in the works and can be launched sometime this year, but there is no news of Maruti offering a CNG option with the Ignis. Tata’s CNG variant will also offer the convenience of a bigger boot thanks to the twin-cylinder setup, as well as the ability to start the car in CNG mode directly.

    Between Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter, the Tata SUV claims to be more efficient with the manual shifter, while the Hyundai model promises better economy when it comes to their AMT options. Meanwhile, the Ignis offers the same claimed mileage for both manual and AMT variants which is higher than that of the other two SUVs.

    However, for peak fuel economies among these three, you can look at the Exter CNG, which claims to offer a fuel efficiency of 27.1 km/kg.

    On paper, there is not a lot that separates these three ‘micro SUVs’, with the Exter and Punch being quite similar overall. The Ignis is the only one that is relatively compromised by its smaller proportions. We’ll be discussing the feature differences between them in a different story, so stay tuned to know more. Let us know which one of these would be your pick in the comments below.

    We never get the mileage claimed in all Hyundai cars. They should pay attention to this important point.
