Hyundai Exter: safety features on offer

Hyundai Exter powertrain, variant details

The Exter will get a 1.2-litre petrol engine along with a CNG fuel option. The Exter petrol will be available with a five-speed manual or an AMT automatic, while the Exter CNG will be manual only. While power and torque outputs have not been officially announced, we expect the 1.2-litre engine to churn out 83hp and 114Nm of torque, similar to the Grand i10 Nios, the Aura and the Venue. Similarly, the CNG powertrain could produce 69hp and 95.2Nm, similar to its sedan and hatchback counterparts. The Exter will be offered in five trim levels – EX, S, SX, SX(O) and top-spec SX(O) Connect.

Hyundai Exter price announcement is expected to take place by late July or early August this year. The SUV will be positioned below the Venue and will be the brand's most affordable SUV in India. Hyundai is also readying market launches for the Creta facelift and the Creta N Line for early next year.
