After weeks of teasers, Hyundai has now showcased the rear design of the Exter for the first time, giving us an idea of the complete exterior design of the upcoming micro SUV. Let’s have a quick overview of what we know so far about the Hyundai Exter.

The Rear Design

Hyundai has maintained the Exter's upright SUV-like stance from the back as well. The micro SUV's rear-end design is highlighted by H-shaped LED taillamps joined by a black strip with the Hyundai logo in the middle. Both details are similar to the grille and H-pattern LED DRLs at the front. The massive silver skid plate on the back bumper gives the Exter a rugged appearance.

What We Know So Far

Hyundai has revealed many of the features of the Exter even though it has not showcased the interior at all. The micro SUV will offer a voice-assisted single-pane sunroof and dual dash cams. Expected features on the Hyundai Exter are a big touchscreen display, digital driver’s display, cruise control, wireless phone charging and automatic climate control.
