Hyundai Exter interior details
The Exter’s steering wheel and dashboard design are quite similar to the Grand i10 Nios and Aura, however, there are quite a few unique elements. Firstly, the interior gets an all-black colour scheme instead of the grey/black or bronze/black interior seen on the Nios and Aura, respectively. The Exter also gets a full-digital instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch MID that’s similar to more expensive Hyundais like the i20 and the Verna.
Higher variants will get an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment similar to its siblings. The patterned-effect on the dashboard and around the gear lever has also been carried over. There are subtle bronze highlights around the AC vents and on the semi-leatherette seat upholstery. The Exter gets three-point seat belts for all three rear passengers and an AC vent for the second row, but it does miss out on a rear centre armrest.
Hyundai has also announced that the Exter will get connected car tech, voice-activated commands in multiple languages and over the air (OTA) updates for the infotainment system and maps. Higher variants will also get automatic climate control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, in-built navigation and a sunroof, among other features.
Hyundai Exter powertrains
The Exter will get Hyundai’s tried and tested 83hp, 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine – that’s available on the Venue, Nios and Aura – and a factory fitted CNG kit. The petrol engine can be had with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT automatic transmission, while the CNG only gets a manual.
Hyundai Exter bookings and rivals
Deliveries for the Exter are likely to commence by mid-July, and bookings are currently underway for Rs 11,000. Upon launch, the Exter will rival the Tata Punch, Citroen C3 and the Maruti Ignis.
