Hyundai Exter

Hyundai Exter, the latest offering from the Korean carmaker is all set to be launched on July 10 as the brand’s new entry-level SUV offering. Bookings for the Exter have been open for a while now and Hyundai has revealed most details of the SUV except for its price. So let’s take a look at what the Exter has to offer:

Design

Hyundai Exter Front & Side

The Hyundai Exter has a very modern-looking boxy design. The front profile has a bold look due to the upright fascia, stubby bonnet and multi-section bumper with the large skid plate. It also gets a sleek set of H-shaped LED DRLs and below them, the square-shaped headlamps can be found.

On the sides, the wheel arches bulge outwards for an athletic stance and it gets cladding all around for an enhanced SUV look. The Exter will also come with dual-tone black and silver alloy wheels.

Hyundai Exter Rear

The rear end of the Exter looks a lot like the front, with muscular creases and the H-shaped lighting elements in the tail lamps. The tail lamps are connected by a thick black strip and its rear skid plate starts high on the black bumper for an extra rugged look.

Cabin

The cabin layout of the Exter is nearly identical to the one on the Grand i10 Nios. The only difference is in the colour scheme. While the hatchback gets a dual-tone cabin, the SUV gets an all-black one with the same design.

The centre console, diamond pattern on the dashboard and turbine-shaped AC vents are quite similar to that of the Grand i10 Nios. The Exter gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel and it also gets semi-leatherette seats.

Powertrain

The Exter gets the same engine as the Grand i10 Nios and Aura: a 1.2-litre petrol engine that churns out 83PS and 114Nm. This unit will be paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT.
