Hyundai Exter CNG with Twin Cylinders Launched, Hy-CNG Duo Variants Start at Rs 8.50 Lakh in India

Hyundai has launched the Exter Hy-CNG Duo in India. Priced at Rs 8.50 lakh (starting price, ex-showroom), the Exter Hy-CNG Duo is equipped with twin-cylinder CNG technology. This technology includes two smaller CNG cylinders with a total capacity of 60 litres, resulting in increased boot space compared to the traditional CNG cars with a single-cylinder setup. Hyundai previously provided a single-cylinder arrangement only for its Exter CNG model. With the update, the Exter Hy-CNG Duo now joins the Tiago, Punch, Tigor, and Altroz CNG models in offering similar twin-cylinder CNG technology. Note that the single-cylinder Exter CNG will continue to be sold in the country along with the new version. 

The new Hyundai Exter Hy-CNG Duo comes in three variants – S, SX, and SX Knight Edition. Have a look at the variant-wise pricing of the model:
