What’s New?
The cabin now feels a bit fresher. The old all-black interior has been replaced with a dual-tone navy blue and grey theme. There’s also a new flat-bottom steering wheel and updated dashboard with a faux carbon-fibre finish. It also gets a new semi-fabric upholstery.
Hyundai has also added a few useful features. It now gets adjustable rear headrests and a height-adjustable driver seat as standard. Rear passengers get Type-C USB ports, and the driver gets a dedicated armrest. Other additions include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (via adapter) and metal pedals.
On the outside, the changes are subtle but noticeable. The front gets a reworked grille with silver accents, along with a slightly updated bumper. The Exter badge has also been repositioned. The side profile looks a bit sportier now, thanks to chunkier wheel arches and new alloy wheel designs.
At the rear, there’s a blacked-out bumper, new C-pillar garnish, and a split spoiler. Hyundai has also introduced two new colour options: Titanium Black Matte and Golden Bronze.
Engine
The Exter continues with the same 1.2-litre petrol engine that produces 83bhp and 114Nm. It is available with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT gearbox. The CNG version is also on offer. It comes with a dual-cylinder setup placed under the boot floor. This version produces 69bhp and 95Nm.
