Inside, it gets an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a single-pane sunroof, auto AC with rear vents, a USB charger, and a semi-digital instrument cluster.
On the safety front, the Exter is offered with six airbags, a rear-view camera, Hill Hold Assist, Electronic Stability Control, ABS with EBD, and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
Under the hood, the South Africa spec model uses a 1.2-litre petrol engine. This 4-cylinder unit can push out 82 bhp and 114 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed MT and a 5-speed AMT.
The South African Exter is offered in three variants, namely Premium, Executive, and Elite.
