5 Differences Between The Hyundai Exter And The Hyundai Casper

September 27, 2023 Prafful Singh

Before the launch of Hyundai Exter in India, the Casper debuted first as the brand’s new micro SUV

The Hyundai Exter, the latest offering from the Korean marque, was launched earlier this year as the second offering in the Indian micro SUV segment. But before the Exter came into the market, Hyundai was working on another miniature SUV-like model, which was revealed in its home market in 2021 as the Hyundai Casper. The Exter and the Casper have many commonalities but are also very different in their details. Here is a detailed comparison of both:

Dimensions

Dimensions	Hyundai Exter	Hyundai Casper	Difference
Length	3,815mm	3,595mm	220mm
Width	1,710mm	1,595mm	115mm
Height	1,631mm	1,575mm	56mm
Wheelbase	2,450mm	2,400mm	50mm

If you think the Exter is a small car, then the Casper seems tiny by comparison. This Korean micro-SUV is smaller than the Exter in every dimension, and its length is closer to the Maruti S-Presso instead. According to some, the Casper is the first Hyundai of this size since the original Santro hatchback.

Design

The Hyundai Exter has a modern and muscular design. Its styling is dominated by the upright front profile with straight lines, H-shaped DRLs and tail lamps, and thick black strips at the rear. The big bumper, skid plates, door cladding, and wheel arches add a muscular appeal.

The Casper, on the other hand, is not as boxy in design. The front gets a black strip that houses U-shaped DRLs, it gets a chrome mesh grille and circular headlamps. The sides get cladding and wheel arches similar to the Exter, and the rear profile has a simpler design with a black strip housing the tail lamps and the Hyundai logo. Also, the Casper’s rear door handles are mounted next to the rear windows instead. It even comes with the option of 17-inch wheels while the Exter gets 15-inch wheels at best.

Hyundai also made a distinction between the two variants of the Casper by offering one of them with a different front design. This variant comes with an all-black front grille and two chrome circles next to the headlamps.

There is a similarity in the design language of the Exter and Casper, with the dominant lighting elements being the same for the front and rear. It’s the H-shaped light signature for the India-spec model and the rounded lamps for the Korean-spec offering.

Powertrain

Specifications	Hyundai Exter		Hyundai Casper
Engine	1.2-litre petrol	1.2-litre petrol + CNG	1-litre petrol	1-litre turbo-petrol
Power	83PS	69PS	76PS	100PS
Torque	114Nm	95Nm	95Nm	172Nm
Transmission	5MT/ 5AMT	5MT	4AT	4AT

The engine options of both the micro SUVs are different. The Hyundai Exter offers one 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine option that also comes with a CNG kit. With the Exter, you get both a manual and an AMT option. The Hyundai Casper, in its home market, has two petrol engines and only comes with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Features & Safety

The Exter features an 8-inch touchscreen information system, semi-digital driver’s display, automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, electric sunroof, dual-camera dashcam, 6 airbags (as standard), ABS and EBD, electronic stability control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

In South Korea, the Casper gets a floating 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 4.2-inch MID, an electric sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise control, 7 airbags (as standard), tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and even ADAS features like lane keep assist, front and rear collision warning, high beam assist, auto emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

Price & Rivals

Hyundai Exter	Hyundai Casper (Converted Price)
Rs 6 lakh to Rs 10.10 lakh	Rs 8.53 lakh to Rs 11.52 lakh

* All prices are ex-showroom

There is a clear price difference between the two Hyundai models. While the Casper is more compact than the Exter, it does offer more in terms of powertrain and features, which help it justify the price premium.

In India, the Exter is a direct rival to the Tata Punch. The Hyundai Casper, if it had come to Indian shores, would have rivalled the Tata Punch, Maruti Ignis, and Maruti S-Presso but would be too pricey with that set of features and engines.

8BitDo Micro Controller Solves a Major Issue with Android and Nintendo Switch Gaming

August 17, 2023 David

Even if you don’t necessarily need it for gaming, the 8BitDo Micro controller is worth considering. With its Keyboard Mode, you can assign different functions to all 16 inputs. While typing a novel may be challenging with only 16 letters, Keyboard Mode is perfect for using quick keyboard shortcuts for various applications. Additionally, you can use it as a remote camera trigger for capturing selfies and videos. The best part is that Keyboard Mode is compatible not only with Android but also with iOS and Windows. This means you can connect the Micro to a wide range of devices, including the iPad Pro.

Despite its compact size, the 8BitDo Micro has an impressive 10-hour battery life and can fully charge in just 1-2 hours. You can also keep it connected with a USB cable for uninterrupted usage. Weighing less than 25 grams and measuring 72 x 40.7 x 14.1 mm, the Micro is considerably smaller than the standard Joy-Con controller. When you purchase the 8BitDo Micro, it comes with a USB cable, instruction manual, and wrist strap. The wrist strap comes in handy because this tiny controller can easily get lost if dropped.

The Exter’s entry-level automatic variant is pricier than that of the Punch, while the 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 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.

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.

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.

– 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.

Opel Rocks E-Xtreme: A Unique Electric Buggy Designed by a Student

June 24, 2023 Prafful Singh

In August 2021, Opel released the Opel Rocks-e, a micro electric vehicle designed for city use. It was essentially a rebranded version of the Citroen Ami and was touted as the world’s first Sustainable Urban Mobility EV. In less than a year, Opel expanded the Rocks-e lineup by introducing a cargo version of the vehicle. Now, they have unveiled another addition to the lineup, but this time it’s not a regular production model.

The Rocks e-Xtreme is a one-off prototype that will not be mass-produced. This unique concept was created by Opel, based on the design of Lukas Wenzhöfer, a design student who won the #OpelDesignHack contest. Opel had promised to bring the winner’s project to life, and they have truly lived up to their promise by turning this radical electric buggy into a reality.
