Hyundai Exter: A Perfect Micro-SUV

Hyundai India launched its micro-SUV, the Exter in July 2023 at an introductory price of Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Now, it ranges from Rs 6.12 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The Exter is the smallest and most budget-friendly SUV in Hyundai's India portfolio.

Here are a few reasons why the Hyundai Exter is a perfect micro SUV for any first-time car buyer.

Modern Design Appeal

Hyundai has used a 'Sensuous Sportiness' design philosophy for the Exter. From the outside, the SUV features a stylish front grille with a wide front skid plate. Its front fascia is characterised by H-LED DRLs and projector headlights.

From the side, the micro-SUV highlights thick body cladding, C-pillar-mounted rear door handles, and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Towards the rear, the Exter flaunts its H-shaped LED tail lights and the black parametric strip, connecting the two tail lamps. Overall, the design of the Exter SUV depicts a sense of youthfulness and a modern persona to attract young customers.
