Hyundai dealerships across the country are getting ready to stock the Exter for customer inquiries and test drives. The automaker is currently accepting bookings for the SUV. Interested buyers can book their model for a token amount of Rs 11,000. The delivery rollout will commence in the coming days.
The new Hyundai Exter stands at dimensions of 3,830mm x 1,723mm x 1,643mm and has a 2,450mm wheelbase. It gets a new design for the radiator grille and a black finish on the bumper. A silver trim surrounds the bottom of the grille. The H-shaped LED DRLs are sleeker than the ones on the outgoing model. These DRLs are connected by a trim with the ‘EXTER’ lettering. Changes on the profile include a new design for the 15-inch alloys, more muscular wheel arches, and a new garnish for the C-pillar. The rear section gets a new wing-type spoiler.
The interior of the 2026 Exter gets a new dual-tone Navy and Grey colour theme. The dashboard has a 3D pattern finish, while the steering wheel has a D-cut design. The fabric seat upholstery flaunts the Exter branding. Adjustable rear seat headrests and a height-adjustable driver’s seat are now standard across all variants of the SUV. Other features include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, USB-C charging for rear seat passengers, a foldable driver’s armrest, and more.
The Hyundai Exter facelift has offers over 30 safety features as standard across all of its variants. Some of these include 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC). Higher trims get access to over 45 advanced safety features.
