Hyundai Exter variants comparison
Hyundai Exter Specifications - User Reviews
Exter is the right call for a first city car. It has light controls, parks easily, and offers good features for the money.
Hyundai Exter is very uncomfortable for people with low back pain. Not at all recommended.
Exter is good with its ground clearance and refined 1.2 engine. However, Hyundai maintenance after warranty is more expensive.
My dear Exter definitely not having 5 safety rating at 60kmph and surely not macho like Punch, but still it's a horse that is reliable, responsive, silent, and has sufficient power to pull. Cabin space is fit for a family of 4. Don't judge Exter just by its covers. Drive it and feel it.
