Although aesthetics are subjective, but this will be one of the most attractive little CSUVs in the entire range. Punch, C3, and Fronx are surely going to feel the heat.

Hyundai Exter claims this.

Hyundai EXTER will be India’s 1st sub 4-meter SUV equipped with 6 Airbags (Driver, Passenger, Curtain & Side) as Standard across all trims.


Is this true?

Doesn’t the Jimny, being a sub 4 metre SUV, already offer 6 Airbags across all variants?


All said and done, based on these pictures I see, I like the looks of this Hyundai Exter a lot. It looks very quirky and nice. Rather like one of the matchbox cars that I had as a kid.

Leaked! First look at the Hyundai Exter's interior

The first images revealing the interior of the upcoming Hyundai Exter have leaked online. The sub-4 meter SUV will be launched on July 10 and will compete with the likes of the Tata Punch and Citroen C3.



The dashboard layout of the Exter looks fairly standard when it comes to modern Hyundai cars. It has a rectangular single-piece unit behind the steering wheel that houses the digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system. The head unit also has a set of physical buttons.



The Exter will get a 3-spoke multi-functional steering wheel. A closer look reveals the car will come with cruise control. There's even an option to change the instrument cluster language to Hindi. Other features include an electric sunroof, a dashcam with dual cameras and a Burglar Alarm.



The Exter will be offered with three powertrain options. These include a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual and AMT and a CNG version equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

This surely is one handsome looking car from Hyundai. Just curious to know, how will Hyundai position this feature rich small SUV below the Venue. There will surely be a wide overlap with many variants of Venue.

[AYP]

This looks like the SUV version of the Grand i10. The interiors are strikingly similar with minor differentiation like the dials from the Verna.

Even the Venue from the inside has a lot of similarities with the i10 but Hyundai does a better job of masking it. With the facelift especially, the similarities with the Grand i10 have reduced even more. Going by the expected price of the Exter, I guess it did not make much sense for Hyundai to differentiate the Exter from the Grand i10. But due to this, the interiors lack the 'new feel' which we expect from a new launch.

Good to see good integration of vernacular languages with the MID and the infotainment.

It's not just Hindi, they are providing support even for Marathi! While both use Devnagari script, the language is actually quite different. Good job Hyundai!

[Grand Tourer]

Looks nice. Thanks for sharing these. As someone said and as an owner of the Nios, I see a few Nios elements playing their parts. But certainly an upgrade. Infact, we are contemplating replacing our Nios either for this or the face-lift i120 Nline.

The connect version I'm assuming, will have a lot of bells and whistles especially compared to the new Verna and will be pleasantly familiar to both standing in my garage. Will take a call once the prices are out and see the car in the flesh.

I only wish they plonked the same 1 litre Turbo engine like they did with the Nios but gave it an automatic. Though I used to be a manual fanatic, Bangalore traffic has changed me making me a stickler for automatics

Quoting myself hopeful of an answer from someone.

Hyundai should be a case study of how to absolutely nail the launch of a car in crowded segments in hyper competitive market such as India. Exter looks absolutely smashing from every angle.

Is this way Of EXTER 'Punching' punch?

Anyway, Exter has all the elements a first time car buyer expects in the sub 10 L segment, better interior / features and engine compared to the segment leader.

This segment is getting hotter than the likes of Venue vs Nexon.

AFAIK since Jimny has a 1.5L engine, it technically doesn't fall under the Sub 4m tax regime (read as GST).

So, while the length of Jimny is under 4m, the GST tax is not [it attracts GST 28% + Cess 15% = Total 43% [making it fall in the Creta / Seltos tax bracket ]

Therefore, Hyundai isn't wrong in stating 1st Sub 4m car with 6 airbags as standard

Agreed.
Just wondering about how the performance of this AMT will be on Highways. In city for sure its a no brainer.
But then, AMT seems to have got the reputation overall of being inferior to CVT and TC.

[bullitt1]

After Ioniq, this is another clean design from Hyundai. And what a great set of features. I am on the hunt for a pre owned Ecosport AT for quite soemtime without success. This looks interesting except for the AMT, any comments from existing Hyundai AMT owners please.
