Hyundai Exter micro SUV is all set to hit Indian roads. Ahead of its official arrival, the carmaker has revealed that the model lineup will come in 13 petrol and 2 CNG variants, spread across five trims – EX, S, SX, SX (O) and SX (O) Connect. There will two engine options – 1.2L petrol (borrowed from the Grand i10 Nios) and 1.2L petrol with a factory-fitted CNG kit. While the former makes a top power of 83bhp and 114Nm of torque, the latter is good enough for 69bhp and 95.2Nm. Save for the entry-level EX trim, all variants will be available with AMT gearbox. A 5-speed manual transmission will be standard. Read – Hyundai Creta N-Line Coming To India
Buyers will get 6 monotone and 3 dual-tone colour options with the Exter. The single-tone palette includes Starry Night, Atlas White, new Ranger Khaki, Fiery Red, Titan Grey and Cosmic Blue. The dual-tone shades are available with Cosmic Blue, Atlas White and Ranger Khaki. One must note that the dual-tone shades can be had with SX petrol trim. Variant-wise features, however, are yet to be revealed.
Similar to the new Hyundai cars, the Hyundai Exter features the brand’s parametric design language. It has upright stance and carries split headlamp setup with H-pattern LED DRLs. The contrasting black grille, a faux silver skid plate and pronounced chin add more to its front looks. The flared wheel arches with dual-tone alloy wheels, thick cladding across its length and C-pillar in textured finish adore its side profile. The rear profile is yet to be revealed. Though, it’s likely to carry tall bumper, taillamps with H-pattern LED lighting elements and a pronounced skid plate in dual-tone finish.
Bookings for the Hyundai Exter have already been commenced at a token sum of Rs 11,000. Its market launch is expected to happen by August 2023. In the company’s product lineup, it will be placed below the Venue and put up against the Tata Punch.
