Hyundai Motor India has launched two new variants for the Hyundai Exter micro SUV – S Smart and SX Smart with prices starting from Rs 7.68 lakh (ex-showroom). The new variants have been introduced with the intent to enhance accessibility within Hyundai’s SUV portfolio, making feature-rich options more attainable. According to the company, the updated lineup is tailored to meet the evolving preferences of young Indian consumers, combining style, convenience, and performance at a competitive price point.
These two new variants are available in both petrol and Hy-CNG Duo options, with manual and AMT gearbox options. The newly introduced Exter S Smart variant comes equipped with an electric sunroof, LED taillamps with LED daytime running lights (DRLs), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), rear AC vents, and 15-inch steel wheels with wheel covers. The higher-spec Exter SX Smart adds a smart key with push-button start, shark-fin antenna, and projector headlamps, and shares features like the electric sunroof and TPMS. It also rides on 15-inch steel wheels with covers.
On the safety front, Hyundai has made ISOFIX child seat mounts standard across the entire Exter lineup. All variants now come equipped with six airbags as standard. Additionally, customers can opt for an upgraded 9-inch infotainment system—featuring wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a rear-view camera—available as a genuine accessory for Rs 14,999 with a 3-year warranty.
The Exter is powered by a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder, NA petrol engine with 83hp of power and 114Nm of torque. In the CNG spec, this engine makes 69hp and 95.2 Nm of torque and is only available with the 5-speed manual gearbox.
Commenting on the introduction of the new variants, Mr. Tarun Garg, Whole-Time Director and Chief Operating Officer, Hyundai Motor India Limited, said, “At HMIL, we are committed to democratizing technology and making meaningful innovations accessible to a wider set of customers. The introduction of S Smart and SX Smart variants on the Hyundai EXTER is a reflection of this customer centric philosophy. With these new variants, we are offering a more compelling value proposition to young and tech-savvy Indian buyers. We are confident that the Hyundai EXTER will continue to redefine aspirations and further strengthen its position as a preferred SUV for customers.”
