We are receiving more details about the upcoming Hyundai Exter as its launch date approaches. Leaked images of its interior have surfaced on the internet, showing some of the car’s features. Let’s have a look at what we can expect.
The Dashboard Design
The Exter’s interior design is similar to that of the Grand i10 Nios, especially the layout. It features an integrated housing design for the infotainment unit and instrument cluster, along with central AC vents below the display. Although it is hard to tell from the leaked images, it appears that the touchscreen is smaller than the 8-inch setup offered in the Grand i10 Nios and the 10.25-inch unit found in the i20.
However, the Exter will offer a digitised driver’s display, as seen in other Hyundai cars like Venue and Verna, along with auto AC and cruise control.
Other Notable Features
The Hyundai Exter will have several notable features, including a dual dash cam setup, voice-assisted single-pane sunroof, six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), hill assist, and 3-point seat belts and reminders for all five seats, rear parking camera, and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
There will be five broad variants: EX, S, SX, SX (O), and SX (O) Connect, with detailed features of each variant closer to the model’s launch.
Powering the Exter
The Exter will have only one 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT in petrol. It will also have a CNG option at launch with the manual transmission option.
Pricing and Rivals
The Hyundai Exter’s expected starting price is around Rs 6 Lakh (ex-showroom), and it will compete with Tata Punch, Citroen C3, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, and Maruti Fronx.
