Hyundai has just launched its fifth-generation Exter, a compact SUV that everything rugged about looks. Changes in the new styling include a refreshed front grille, sleeker LED DRL’s, new alloys; and redesigned bumpers that squarely impart aggressive stance.
High ground clearance and roof rails further cement the Exter’s SUV credentials, making it an apt companion on urban beats and weekend excursions. New color options, including a few coupe-thematic dual tones, charm the youthful and romantic notes further.
Feature-Rich Cabin with a Premium Feel
Inside, the 2025 Exter offers a spacious and tech-filled cabin, meant for comfortable convenience. It now offers an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a fully digital instrument cluster, and voice-activated smart features. Hyundai has also brought in fresh upholstery and interior colour schemes so that the cabin continues to feel fresh. Rear seats offer improved knee room, and boot capacity continues to be generous for the segment.
Reliable Performance with Efficient Powertrains
Powered by a 1.2 L petrol engine developing 83 BHP and 113.8 Nm of torque, the 2025 Exter can be paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional AMT. For the person after fuel efficiency, Hyundai indeed offers a factory-fitted CNG variant with the same engine tuned for higher efficiency. The Exter is not a full-blooded off-roader but can mop through patches of rough and uneven terrain quite well with its suspension tuning and handy dimensions.
Aggressive Pricing for Wide Appeal
The 2025 Hyundai Exter is priced at Rs 6.13 lakh for the base petrol variant ex-showroom, with the top-spec petrol trim commencing at Rs 10.28 lakh. The CNG variants are then attractively priced from Rs 8.43 lakh. With the bold looks, updated features, and practical performance, Exter stands proudly among the leading contenders of the micro-SUV segment.
In bringing affordability to the fold of rugged personality, the 2025 Exter targets the young Indian buyers seeking a fall-in-love compact SUV that a leatherman can take on city drives and on-the-fly adventures.
