Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has introduced the updated Exter in the domestic market with introductory prices beginning at Rs. 5.79 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned as a refreshed version of the micro SUV, the new model gets more than 25 upgrades. The company says the Exter has already found over two lakh customers in India since its initial launch.

On the outside, the revised Exter receives noticeable styling changes. Hyundai has fitted a reworked front fascia, a redesigned black grille, new bumpers at both ends, new tailgate and C-pillar detailing, additional wheel arch cladding and a wing-style rear spoiler. The SUV also rides on a set of newly designed 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

The Korean automaker claims it is the tallest model in its segment and also offers the longest wheelbase. The cabin has also been given a more premium appearance with a new navy-and-grey dual-tone finish and a revised 3D carbon-effect dashboard treatment.

Hyundai has also added metal pedals, a D-cut steering wheel, updated seat upholstery and a folding armrest for the driver. Rear headrests and driver seat height adjustment are now standard across the range giving more value to customers. The petrol variants continue to offer a boot volume of 391 litres while the dual-cylinder CNG version provides 225 litres of luggage space and now comes with an underbody spare wheel as standard.

The Exter continues with features such as an electric sunroof, digital instrument cluster and over-the-air updates for maps and infotainment.
