The Exter is Hyundai's clever entry-level micro-SUV that packs a massive amount of features into a tiny footprint. It offers standard 6 airbags, a smooth 4-cylinder engine, and a sunroof at an aggressive price point. If you want the raised stance of an SUV but the easy drivability of an i10 Nios, this is a brilliant urban runabout.
Hyundai Exter price starts at ₹ 5.80 Lakh and goes upto ₹ 9.57 Lakh (Avg. Ex-Showroom, Delhi). It is offered in 19 variants. The base model is Hyundai Exter Hx2 and the top model is Hyundai Exter Hx10 At Dt.
Skip the base variant if you want the touchscreen and modern convenience features; it feels too stripped down for a modern micro-SUV. The mid-spec CNG option is a fantastic choice for high-mileage commuters looking to drastically cut down on running costs without sacrificing the elevated driving position. Stretch to the top automatic variants if you want the factory dashcam, sunroof, and the sheer convenience of a two-pedal drive in heavy traffic, making it the ultimate urban runabout for first-time buyers.
