In terms of pricing, Hyundai will be aggressively taking on its competition, Tata Punch. The Punch is placed in the range of Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom) to Rs 9.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Hyundai Exter SUV may also be priced around Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom) for the entry variant. 

Expected Features

The new Hyundai Exter will be equipped with a 1.2-litre Kappa engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and an AMT option. Additionally, Hyundai is also expected to introduce a CNG variant of the vehicle.

The car will boast a segment-best wheelbase of 2,450 mm and a height of 1,631 mm. The range-topping Hyundai Exter is expected to get an eight-inch infotainment screen, an all-digital driver display, a dashcam, and a voice-enabled sunroof.

On the exterior, the Exter gets H-shaped LED DRLs, diamond-cut alloy wheels, bold black cladding along the sides, and H-shaped LED taillights connected by a single light bar.

After the discontinuation of Santro, the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios was doing most of the lifting in the small hatchback segment. However, the launch of the new Exter is expected to boost sales for the South Korean brand against favourites Maruti Suzuki.
