Overall Design

Hyundai Exter Front

The Hyundai Exter features a boxy design language. The front profile has a bold and upright fascia with a skid plate, stubby bonnet, and H-shaped LED DRLs. Below the DRLs are square-housing LED headlights. 

Hyundai Exter Side

The side profile showcases cladding for a more prominent SUV look, and the wheel arches bulge outward. The micro-SUV also comes with 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.

Hyundai Exter Rear

At the back, the Exter has a bold look similar to the front. The tail lamps feature the same H-shaped element as the front, with the lamps joined by a thick black strip. The rear skid plate starts high to give it a more rugged appearance.

Cabin Look

Hyundai Exter Cabin

The interiors of the Hyundai Exter look identical to that of the Grand i10 Nios. It has the same centre console layout, and the dashboard has the same diamond pattern as the Grand i10 Nios. The difference lies in the color scheme, with the Hyundai Exter having an all-black cabin. It also features semi-leatherette seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Hyundai Exter Dashboard

As for features, the Exter offers an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a semi-digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger, paddle shifters, cruise control, a single-pane sunroof with voice commands, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, and a dual-camera dashcam.

Higher variants of the micro-SUV offer additional features such as a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), day and night IRVM, a rearview camera, and a rear defogger.

Powertrain

Hyundai Exter Engine

The Exter has the same engine option as the Grand i10 Nios and Aura: a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 82PS and 113Nm of torque. This engine is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT transmission.

It also has a CNG powertrain option for this engine, which generates a lower output of 69PS and 95Nm. The CNG variants, like most CNG cars, are only available with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Rivals

Hyundai Exter

The Hyundai Exter directly competes with the Tata Punch and the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, but it can also be considered an alternative to larger cars such as the Citroen C3, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, and the Maruti Fronx.
