Since you want to purchase a Hyundai car, why not consider the new Venue, the 1.2 Petrol HX4 variant, which would be around Rs 9.88 lakh (on-road in Shimla). It is an all-new car that's slightly larger than the Exter, resulting in better cabin and boot space. Interior quality also feels a step up, and in terms of road presence, too, the Venue has an edge over the Exter. Both Exter and Venue share the 1.2 petrol engine and 5-speed manual gearbox, similar to the one you have been using in your existing Grand i10 - so it is smooth to drive, and the controls are very light.
