Top 10 Reasons Why The Hyundai Exter Stands Out In Its Segment

Aside from its striking looks and premium cabin experience, the Exter also offers a refined driving experience

The Hyundai Exter entered the micro SUV segment in India 2021 and since then it has gained a lot of popularity among buyers. Owing to its looks, dimensions, and long list of features at an affordable price, it makes for a perfect small segment SUV in India. Here are 10 reasons why the Exter stands out in its segment.

Design: A Head Turner Look

The Exter, with its micro SUV design, stands tall and boasts an appealing look, thanks to modern touches like H-shaped LED DRLs, signature tail lights, silver skid plates at the front and rear.  Its SUV character is enhanced by a large window area, side cladding, 16-inch alloy wheels, and roof rails. 

Ground Clearance

One of the key reasons people are gravitating towards SUV body style these days  are challenging road conditions in India.  The Exter on this front inspires confidence with its ground clearance of 185 mm, allowing you to drive over speed bumps and rough roads without worrying about the underbody scraping.

Premium Cabin Feel

Hyundai cars are well-known for their interior quality and attention to detail, and the Exter is no exception. This micro SUV boasts all black dashboard with contrast colour inserts matching your exterior paint. The quality of buttons on the console and the steering wheel, plastics, and the seats, everything feels perfect inside the Exter.

Features: No Compromises

Hyundai’s micro SUV comes with a long list of features like an 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, connected car technology, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a wireless phone charger. Additionally, it comes with paddle shifters (AMT only), a cooled glove box, and one of the most sought-after features today: a sunroof. 

Safety Features: Misses Out On Nothing

Hyundai has equipped the Exter with top notch safety features like 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and 3 point seatbelts for all seats. The higher variants also get a rear parking camera and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The higher-spec variants also get a dual camera dashcam for added convenience and safety.

Refined Driving Experience

The Hyundai Exter is powered by a 1.2-liter, 4-cylinder Kappa petrol engine, which has been used in several other Hyundai models and has already established a reputation for refinement. When driving the Exter, the NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels are impressively low, ensuring a quiet and smooth experience inside the cabin.

Performance: Feels Effortless

Hyundai Exter’s naturally aspirated petrol engine churns out a healthy  83 PS and 114 Nm. This engine is being offered with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT.  Thanks to its good low-end response, the city commuting feels effortless. Power delivery is smooth, and with the slick-shifting gearbox options, overtaking becomes a breeze. 

Option Of CNG

What makes the Exter stand out as the complete package under Rs 10 lakh is the variety of powertrain options it offers. For those seeking lower running costs, the Exter CNG is an excellent option. It delivers a reduced output of 69 PS and 95.2 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Dual Cylinder Technology

The Exter CNG features dual-cylinder technology, known as Hy-duo CNG. In this setup, two smaller CNG tanks are positioned beneath the boot floor, replacing the spare wheel, which helps for a usable boot space. The spare wheel is instead mounted under the body and can be easily lowered when needed.

Attractive Price Range

The Hyundai Exter, combining looks, features, and top notch safety features, is available in the price range of Rs 6 lakh to Rs 10.43 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). What do you think about this micro SUV? Share your thoughts below…
