The main focus was to grasp the aspirations of Gen MZ consumers across the country and revamp and bring to life the Hyundai SUV lifestyle.

The Exter follows Hyundai's Global Design Identity, which is "Sensuous Sportiness," in an effort to produce a forward-thinking yet distinctive SUV. It proudly embodies Hyundai's SUV DNA and stands out on the road thanks to its avant-garde exterior styling. Both customers and industry professionals have praised the car, confirming Hyundai's forward-thinking strategy and the team's commitment.

The Hyundai Exter involves evolving design components that are inspired by outdoor travel. Its striking features capture the spirit of a modern, lifestyle-focused SUV. The Exter promises an SUV design that exceeds customer expectations with its commanding front fascia, exclusive Signature H-LED DRLs, and iconic character. Passengers have the best possible rear visibility thanks to the ergonomics' flawless balance, which also improves all-around visibility. The Exter is the perfect travel companion for outings and exploration because its features and style fit the dynamic lifestyle of Gen MZ.

The 1.2-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine that powers the Exter produces 83 BHP and 114 Nm of torque when running on gasoline. The power output in the CNG configuration is downgraded to 69 BHP and 95.2 Nm. While the CNG version only has a manual transmission, the petrol variant comes standard with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or an Automatic Manual Transmission (AMT).

The CNG version, which uses the same engine, has slightly lower power outputs of 69 horsepower and 95.2 Nm of torque. In terms of efficiency, the CNG version gets about 27.1 km/kg of mileage while the petrol version gets 19.4 km/l.
