Moving to the sides, it provides flared wheel arches with chunky body cladding, diamond-cut alloy wheels, blacked-out roof, and roof rails. The automaker has not revealed the rear end of the Exter yet but it will get LED tail lights connected by a black strip similar to the New Hyundai avenue. The Korean manufacturer will also offer two new distinctive colours called Khaki Ranger and Cosmic Blue.
