Design
Hyundai has showcased the Exter partially through various teasers, but spy shots have revealed the final design. It has a boxy design with an upright stance, a split headlight setup, and a tanking rear area.

Exter gets round and flared wheel arches with thick cladding around the sides. It stands on dual-tone alloy wheels with roof rails on the top and a textured finish for the C-pillar. Hyundai has not revealed the exterior details yet, and there might also be dual-tone paint options to give a floating roof effect.
Powertrain & Features
Exter shares its platform with the Grand i10 Nios & Aura and will be powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a CNG version. This engine is mated to a 5-speed manual, or AMT, gearbox. However, the AMT is only available with the petrol variants. Except for the usual tech, Exter is equipped with these first-in-segment features, making it an exceptional package.

The dashcam has a dual camera that enables the user to record both front & rear views of the car with multiple recording options. The 2.3-inch LCD display provides a clear view of the footage captured. It also has app-based connectivity for easy access.

It is set to launch in India on July 10, 2023. Hyundai aims to make a lasting impression by setting an excellent driving experience in entry-level cars. The Exter is also equipped with six airbags as standard, along with 26 safety features.
