The Hyundai Exter does also have a few things in common with its hatchback sibling

We have recently received detailed images of the cabin of the Hyundai Exter. The automaker has also confirmed several features that will be available with the micro SUV. As the Exter is positioned above the Grand i10 Nios in the lineup, it offers new features compared to its platform sibling.

Let’s take a look at the top five features that the Exter offers over the Grand i10 Nios:

Digitised Driver’s Display

Grand i10 Nios’s instrument cluster

Hyundai has equipped the Exter with the same digitised instrument cluster found in the facelifted Venue. It also comes with a coloured TFT MID in the center, displaying vital information such as tire pressures, odometer reading, and distance to empty. On the other hand, the Grand i10 Nios only features a coloured TFT display in the center of its two analogue dials.

Six Airbags As Standard

The facelifted Grand i10 Nios does offer up to six airbags, with four as standard. However, Hyundai has gone the extra mile and made six airbags standard in the Exter. This also gives the Exter an advantage over its direct rival, the Tata Punch.

Dual-camera Dashcam

The Venue N Line was the first Hyundai car in India to come with a dashcam setup as a standard feature, rather than an accessory. Hyundai has now confirmed that the Exter will be equipped with a dual-display unit, which will be useful in emergency situations and for recording trips or documenting long journeys.

Single-pane Sunroof

The inclusion of a single-pane sunroof sets the new entry-level SUV from Hyundai apart from not only the Grand i10 Nios but also the Punch. It may even be the smallest offering in India equipped with a sunroof.

Semi-leatherette Upholstery

In contrast to the fabric seats found in the top-spec variants of the Grand i10 Nios, the Exter will come with semi-leatherette upholstery. While the Exter has an all-black cabin theme, the hatchback also offers the option of a dual-tone interior.

Key Similarities

Although Hyundai has given the Exter a significantly different cabin and exterior design, it still shares several key features with the Grand i10 Nios.

The Exter shares the same 8-inch touchscreen system, wireless phone charging, cruise control, auto climate control, and steering wheel with the Grand i10 Nios. It also has the exact same wheelbase and powertrain options: a 1.2-litre petrol engine with the choice of manual and AMT, as well as a CNG alternative.

Launch And Price Update

The Hyundai Exter is set to launch on July 10. It is expected to be priced from Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom). Along with the Tata Punch, the Exter will also compete against the Citroen C3, Maruti Fronx, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger.
