Hyundai has revealed the upcoming Exter SUV for India and commenced bookings for a token amount of ₹11,000 ahead of its launch. The company has also confirmed trim details and powertrain options for the Exter in India.
Hyundai has confirmed Exter will be available with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, the same unit on the Grand i10 Nios, Aura, i20 and Venue. While the company has not revealed the output for the Exter, expect it to produce a similar 83hp and 114Nm of torque. Hyundai has also confirmed the engine will come mated to a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. At launch, Hyundai will also offer a factory-fitted CNG kit on the Exter as it does on the Nios and the Aura. In fact, the Exter shares its platform and underpinnings with the latter two.
The Exter will be offered in five trim levels — EX, S, SX, SX(O) and top-spec SX(O) Connect. The suffix for the top-end trim suggests that it will come with connected car features as standard.
