# Hyundai Exter vs Tata Punch, Citroen C3 And Others: Price Comparison

## The Hyundai Exter micro SUV arrives with an impressive list of features and competitive prices

[![Hyundai Exter vs Tata Punch vs Citroen C3](https://stimg.cardekho.com/images/cms/carnewsimages/editorimages/64ad1e7809f5c.jpg)](https://stimg.cardekho.com/images/cms/carnewsimages/editorimages/64ad1e7809f5c.jpg)

The [Hyundai Exter](https://www.cardekho.com/hyundai/exter) is available in five broad variants: EX, S, SX, SX (O) and SX (O) Connect. Being a micro SUV, its direct rivals are the Tata Punch, Citroen C3 and Maruti Ignis. Like those rivals, the Exter’s prices and features list also put it up against some variants of the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite subcompact SUVs.

In this story, let’s see how its variant-wise prices compare to those of its rivals:

## Petrol-manual

[embedded content]

– The Exter’s starting price is tied with that of its closest rival, the [Tata Punch](https://www.cardekho.com/tata/punch), at Rs 6 lakh, while the Maruti Ignis undercuts them both by around Rs 16,000.
– The Magnite prices start on par with the Exter, while the [Citroen C3](https://www.cardekho.com/citroen/c3) is pricier by Rs 16,000. But the priciest entry point here is for the Renault Kiger.
– Save for the Renault and Nissan SUVs, all other models here get a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 5-speed MT.
– The Renault-Nissan duo comes with a 1-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit with a 5-speed MT. They also offer a 1-litre turbo-petrol unit with the same manual gearbox option.

[Citroen C3 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine](https://stimg2.cardekho.com/images/roadTestimages/816×544/20220614_182721/781/citroen0.jpg)

– The Citroen C3 is the only car here to get an optional 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 6-speed MT.
– Hyundai Exter is the only model here to offer a CNG powertrain (until the Punch CNG arrives).
– The top-spec Exter is pricier than the top-spec Punch by Rs 50,000 but also offers more features like a sunroof and dual-camera dashcam.

[Nissan Magnite](https://stimg2.cardekho.com/images/roadTestimages/816×544/20201120_181940/699/nissan0.jpg)

– The [Nissan Magnite](https://www.cardekho.com/nissan/magnite)’s entry-level turbo variant is more affordable than the top-spec Exter, while offering more space thanks to its bigger size, same as the Kiger. But if its performance you’re prioritising, you can consider the top-spec C3 turbo-petrol option instead.
– All models in this comparison can be had with an optional dual-tone paint option, majorly limited to their higher-spec variants. The Tata Punch also comes with a Camo edition with multiple variants for a distinctive exterior finish, at a small premium.

## Petrol-auto

[Maruti Ignis](https://stimg.cardekho.com/images/cms/carnewsimages/editorimages/6459003fdf4c0.jpg)

– The Exter’s entry-level automatic variant is pricier than that of the Punch, while the [Maruti Ignis](https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Maruti/Maruti_Ignis)’s entry-level automatic undercuts it by almost a lakh rupees. The Nissan Magnite has the most expensive entry-level automatic option here at Rs 10 lakh.
– Although the Exter and Punch’s AMT variants are priced closely to one another, it’s the latter’s variants that are relatively more affordable.
– The Exter, Punch and Ignis all offer a 5-speed AMT, as does the [Renault Kiger](https://www.cardekho.com/renault/kiger) with its 1-litre petrol engine. Citroen does not offer an automatic transmission with the C3, neither does Nissan with the Magnite’s 1-litre engine. The turbo-petrol engines of the Renault-Nissan SUVs come with the choice of a CVT auto.
– The Hyundai Exter’s top-spec SX (O) Connect AMT is the costliest of the lot (Rs 10 lakh) when the AMT models are considered. It is also the only one to offer features like paddle shifters and the aforementioned sunroof and dashcam.

[Renault Kiger](https://stimg2.cardekho.com/images/roadTestimages/816×544/20210222_094103/714/renault0.jpg)

Overall, the better-equipped Exter is pricier than the Punch, while the aged Ignis is the most affordable in every comparison. The Citroen C3 is not as well-equipped as those three but still offers the benefit of a larger cabin and a punchy turbo-petrol engine. Meanwhile, the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite subcompact SUVs are overall more expensive for their bigger proportions and more features at the top end.

Check Out The Feature-Loaded Hyundai Exter SX CNG Variant In 6 Pics

July 11, 2023 Prafful Singh

The Hyundai Exter offers the CNG option in two variants – S and SX

The Hyundai Exter is now available with introductory prices ranging from Rs 5.99 lakh to Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s a micro SUV based on the Grand i10 Nios hatchback. The Exter is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine with the option of CNG, which claims a fuel economy of up to 27.1 km/kg.

A post shared by CarDekho India (@cardekhoindia)

Price

The Exter is available in five variants – E, S, SX, SX(O), and SX (O) Connect. The CNG powertrain option, with the 5-speed manual transmission only, is offered on the S and SX variant. We have exclusive images of the SX CNG variant in Khaki Green with the dual-tone black roof and you can check out the details:

Exter SX Exterior

The front profile of the Exter SX CNG variant looks identical to the top-end SX (O) Connect variant. This variant gets projector headlamps, H-shaped LED DRLs, and the chunky skid plate.

The side profile carries a big difference in the form of wheel design. The SX CNG variant sports 15-inch styled steel wheels, which give the impression of alloy wheels. The higher-end variants get proper dual-tone alloys but still only 15 inches in size.

Also Read: Hyundai Exter Fuel-efficiency Figures Out

The rear profile looks largely the same as the top-end variant, save for the rear spoiler that is body-colored on the SX instead of black as seen on the SX(O). It still gets H-shaped LED tail lights connected by a gloss black strip and beefy skid plates. You can spot the ‘CNG’ sticker as the differentiator from the petrol version.

Unfortunately, we did not get to see the boot of the Exter CNG in this batch of images.

Exter SX Interior

Moving inside the cabin, the differences between the Exter’s SX and SX (O) Connect variants are subtle. It’s covered in an all-black theme with silver accents but misses out on brushed silver finish for the door handles, leather covering for the steering wheel, and footwell lighting.

In terms of features, the SX variant does not offer niceties such as cruise control, push-button start-stop, wireless phone charger, cooled glove box, and rear wiper washer. However, it’s still equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen system, electric sunroof, automatic AC, and a digitized instrument cluster. Safety is covered by the presence of six airbags, a rear camera, ESC, hill hold assist, and a tire-pressure monitoring system.

Exter Rivals

The Hyundai Exter rivals the likes of Tata Punch, Maruti Ignis, and Citroen C3, while indirectly being a competitor to some variants of Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite and the Maruti Fronx.

Hyundai Exter Fuel-efficiency Figures Out

The Hyundai Exter comes with the same 1.2-litre petrol and CNG powertrains as the Grand i10 Nios

Hyundai Exter Has These 5 Additional Features Over The Grand i10 Nios

June 18, 2023 Prafful Singh

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.
