Initial thoughts on the Hyundai Exter AMT after a short test drive

The fuel efficiency of the test drive vehicle was 6.1kmpl. We were told to expect around 10kmpl within the city.

BHPian Saanil recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Took a test drive of the Exter AMT SX(O) connect variant within the city. Few observations:

1) AMT gearbox was smooth – did not feel any major jerks. Unfortunately could not test the gear shift quality using paddle shifters.

2) The rear seat space was decent. I could see the bonnet from my driving position.

3) The quality of the interiors was decent although did not feel as premium as i20. I think the interiors are a direct copy of Grand i10.

4) Infotainment system was good but it has wired Android Auto / Apple car play. There was an in-built navigation application but I do not think we will be using that due to our preference for Google Maps.

5) The fuel efficiency of the test drive vehicle was 6.1kmpl. We were told to expect around 10kmpl within the city.

6) Overall, I did not find any major negatives in the car. However, from a price perspective, I think the SX version makes more sense for us. The Starry night color looks smashing on the Exter
