Hyundai Exter SUV to be Launched on July 7, Will Get Dashcam with Dual Camera and Electric Sunroof

A 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine mated to either a manual or automatic gearbox will power the Hyundai Exter. There will also be a CNG model available. Two other Hyundai models, the Grand i10 Nios, and the Aura, share the Exter's platform.

Hyundai Motor is getting ready to launch the Exter SUV in the Indian market in coming weeks. The automaker has been teasing a number of the SUV's characteristics in advance of its release, including its ability to compete with the Tata Punch and other vehicles in its segment. For a deposit of Rs 11,000, prospective buyers can book the SUV at any verified dealer or on the company's website. Recently, the automaker released some information about the SUV's features. Hyundai has recently teased the inclusion of a small electric sunroof in the Exter SUV. Some of its competitors, such as the Punch SUV and the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, lack this feature. Both a CNG fuel option and a 1.2-litre inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine have been confirmed for the new model.

Hyundai's smallest SUV has strong cladding all around and rounded slightly flared wheel arches. There are two-tone paint choices that create the illusion of a floating roof, as well as elegant dual-tone alloy wheels, roof rails, and a textured treatment for the C-pillar. Hyundai has not yet revealed any information on the Exter's cabin.

Hyundai Exter: Engine

A 1.2-litre petrol engine and a compressed natural gas (CNG) alternative are coming to the Exter. The petrol model offers a choice between a five-speed manual and an AMT automatic transmission, whereas the CNG model is only available with a manual gearbox. The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and the Hyundai Aura are both built on the same basis as the Exter.

The Tata Punch and the Citroen C3 are two of the Exter's main competitors. While the Exter's pricing is yet to be revealed, one can be certain that the small SUV will have more standard conveniences and safety systems than its competitors.
