Trending Questions on Hyundai Exter - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Adityaon Jan 12, 2026

Hello Team Autocar, I am planning to buy a new car within a budget of ₹10-13 lakh. I am looking for a compact automatic car suitable for driving in Bangalore, with an efficient engine delivering around 15 kmpl. The car should comfortably seat five people with good legroom and adjustable headrests, along with features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, good speakers, wireless charging, and a sunroof. I also prefer LED headlamps and tail lamps, parking sensors, a dashcam, and rear wiper with defogger.

Unfortunately, there aren't many cars that would meet all those requirements under Rs 13 lakh. You could increase your budget and get a more premium offering, or be prepared to sacrifice a few things and stick with your budget. 

Within your budget, your two best bets are the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger, which both offer exceptional value for money. They come with 1.0-litre turbo petrol engines and smooth CVT auto gearboxes, and if driven carefully, can deliver good fuel economy. Their touchscreens are decent but not great, and it's a similar story with their audio systems; neither gets a sunroof. 

The Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch facelifts are more affordable but not spacious enough for five, and get clunky AMT auto gearboxes.

I am currently using a Hyundai Venue (2019) and will be retiring by April. My car usage will be limited after retirement, mainly on weekends and for two long trips in a year. I am planning to buy a CNG car with a budget of around ₹10 lakh. Since I have been driving a manual car for over 15 years, should I continue with a CNG manual or opt for a CNG AMT, considering my age? Please suggest which option would be better.

You would have far more options opting for a manual gearbox with a CNG engine. Since you are used to a manual, this should be fine, and we would suggest you look at the Hyundai Exter or the Tata Punch.
Both have the dual tank CNG option, which sits below the boot floor, thus leaving you with enough boot space, and both cars offer you a slightly elevated seating position and an easy entry and exit.
If, however, you would like to opt for an automatic, an AMT - which is the only type of automatic available with CNG - will not be a very smooth gearbox as far as automatics go, but in heavy traffic conditions would still be better than a manual. In this case, look at the Tata Tiago, which also has the dual CNG tank advantage.

Asked by: Mukesh Desaion Jan 6, 2026

My usage is very limited, mostly city driving on weekends, with one or two out-of-town trips to nearby places like Lonavla or Pune. My budget is a maximum of ₹10-12 lakh. I want an automatic for ease of driving in Mumbai traffic. I had shortlisted the Kia Sonet as my first choice, along with the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite. I now find the Hyundai Exter to be quite good for city use, but not ideal for highway driving, which has left me confused. Which car would be best suited for my requirements? My personal preference order is: Exter, Sonet, Kiger, and Magnite.

Yes, you're right, the Hyundai Exter AMT is not great on the highway, but frankly, given your budget, it's not the best for the city either. The AMT gearbox gets the job done, but is nowhere as smooth as more sophisticated automatics.
The Kia Sonet turbo-petrol DCT, sadly, does not fall in your budget, but it is well-equipped and upmarket, if you are willing to make the stretch. The best value options within your budget are the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite, which not only offer a 100hp 1.0 turbo-petrol engine but also a smooth CVT gearbox within your budget. However, they both lack the same level of quality and refinement that Hyundai and Kia offer.
Interestingly, the new Hyundai Venue is offered in 1.0 Turbo DCT HX5 guise, which is around the Rs 12 lakh on-road mark. It's more spacious and comfortable than the others and comes with a decent feature list. This is your best bet, but if you don't mind a hatchback, the Hyundai i20 is even better, as you get the choice of two petrol automatics - 1.2 CVT and 1.0 Turbo DCT - well within your budget.

I am planning to buy my first car and have started driving classes. My budget is ₹10 lakh. I will mostly drive in the city and occasionally on the highway, and we are a family of four. I am confused between Venue, Nexon, 3XO, Sonet, and Syros. Please suggest which car to buy.

If you want to buy any of these SUVs, we suggest increasing your budget by ₹2-3 lakh. At a ₹10 lakh on-road budget, you will have to settle for the lower variants, which is a personal choice but does mean missing out on key features. 

Within a ₹10 lakh budget, a good option for you is the Hyundai Exter. It allows you to choose a fully loaded variant that comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, sunroof, cruise control, wireless phone charger, rearview camera, and other useful features. It gets a smooth and refined 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder engine that delivers power in a predictable and easy-to-manage manner. 

Since you are a new driver, opting for the AMT would be a sensible choice, as it adds to everyday driving comfort and convenience.

Amongst the cars you mentioned, you can consider the Tata Nexon or Kia Sonet

I am planning to buy my first new car and, being inexperienced, I am confused between the Hyundai Exter AMT and the Nissan Magnite AMT. Please suggest which one would be a better choice.

You can go with the Hyundai Exter AMT, it is a well-equipped car, drives well and has the smoothest AMTs in the segment. The 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth, refined and linearly delivers its power. 

For a first-time car owner, Hyundai's vast network of service centres and relatively pocket-friendly after-sales service will add to your ownership experience.

Asked by: Kishalay Nayakon Dec 31, 2025

I want a comfortable, fuel-efficient car under 10 lakh for my wife for normal city driving and occasional long drives.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno or even its sister car, the Toyota Glanza, would be a good option to buy. The car is spacious with comfy seats, and it is fuel-efficient too, both the manual and the automatic version (AMT). 

In our standard test cycle, we got 13.80kpl and 17.50kpl in our city and highway cycles for the manual, whereas the automated manual transmission (AMT) achieved 11.86kpl and 17.21kpl.  

The Baleno sits below 4 meters in length and is compact enough for the city. However, if you would like something smaller, consider the Hyundai Exter. It won't be as efficient, in the manual we got 9kpl and 14kpl for city and highway runs, but this is still good. Also, you will also benefit from a slightly higher seating position and a lower price.

Asked by: PDatton Dec 28, 2025

I am a 50-year-old woman looking for a mini SUV with a budget of up to ₹8.5 lakh. We currently own an XL6 as our family car and are looking for a second car for me. My daily driving is around 10 to 15 km, with occasional highway trips. I want something comfortable and efficient.

The Maruti Suzuki Fronx is a great option because of its refined and efficient engine and smooth gearbox. Alternatively, you could look at the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor, which is essentially a rebadged Fronx. The Hyundai Exter is also an option you could consider for its smoothness and overall user-friendliness.

Asked by: Karanon Dec 27, 2025

I own a 2013 Hyundai i20 Sportz that has done only 17,000 km so far. Starting next year, my running will increase to about 1,000 km per month. Due to E20 fuel, the mileage has reduced to around 10 km/l. Should I buy an EV or an ICE car, or should I keep the current car? If I buy a new car, my budget is ₹10 lakh on-road.

Switching from E10 to E20 fuel reduces fuel efficiency, especially on pre-BS6 cars, so it's no surprise that you are refuelling more frequently and spending more at the pumps. It’s best to buy a new car, and for your budget, an ICE option is the best, as all ICE cars are now E20 compliant with engines designed to run on the higher ethanol blend. 

An EV at this price point will be a compromise both in terms of size and range. For Rs. 10 lakh, go for the Hyundai Exter, which is a well-equipped car that drives exceptionally well. Being a Hyundai car, it will feel familiar as well.

My budget is ₹10-11 lakh, and this will be my first car. My monthly driving will be less than 200km. Please suggest a suitable option.

Without knowing other requirements, it is hard to pinpoint the ideal car for you. However, given that you are a new driver, we will give greater weightage to ease of use and hassle-free ownership. Based on body style, here are a few suitable options to consider:

Asked by: Vipul Jainon Dec 25, 2025

Hi. Thanks for supporting and guiding. I have budget of 10 lakhs on road price. I am looking to purchase for occasional/weekend city drives only and very limited highway trips. I am also looking to buy automatic car since My wife will also use and she is new to driving and she will prefer that. My preference are Good Mileage, Basic good features, good interiors and exterior look. Will buy week to avail year end discount. I was looking after Exter, punch. Also open to other options. Pls suggest.

You can consider the Hyundai Exter AMT. It comes with one of the smoothest AMTs in the segment, offers a comfortable ride and has precise handling. The Exter feels stable and confident on the highway, while on the highway, it is easy to maneuver in city traffic. 

It is also well equipped, with a thoughtfully designed cabin that makes excellent use of the available space.
