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.
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.

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.
