With a total sales (domestic plus exports) of 66,134 units, the highest for any February in our history, we posted a robust growth of 12.6% YoY. This includes domestic sales of 52,407 units, also the highest-ever February sales since inception. As we approach completing 30 years in our great country, our ambition is very clear – to make cutting‑edge connected technology accessible to all while elevating every ownership experience and carrying the spirit of Hyundai from India to the world.'

Other Highlights

Hyundai seems to be working on a mid-life update for the Exter, as a heavily camouflaged prototype has been sighted undergoing road tests in India. While the heavy wraps keep most details under cover, subtle revisions to the front are evident, likely including a redesigned grille and a reprofiled bumper.

The side panels appear largely unchanged, indicating minor alterations at best. At the rear, however, updates could include a redesigned tailgate, new rectangular taillamp elements, and a reworked bumper.

While the upcoming update is likely to focus largely on visual enhancements, the refreshed Hyundai Exter is expected to retain its existing mechanical setup, which includes a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder Kappa naturally aspirated petrol engine with 82bhp and 113.8Nm.
