Hyundai Exter 2026 price and features in India:
In a move that subtly elevates its presence in the competitive micro-SUV space, Hyundai Motor India Limited has introduced the updated Exter in the domestic market with introductory prices starting at Rs. 5.79 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing along more than 25 thoughtful upgrades that enhance both its visual appeal and everyday usability, while also celebrating a significant milestone of over two lakh customers since its initial launch, reflecting the model’s growing acceptance among urban buyers seeking a compact yet feature-rich SUV that blends practicality with a modern design language.
Visually, the refreshed Exter carries a more assertive stance with its reworked front fascia, redesigned black grille, updated bumpers, new tailgate detailing and enhanced cladding, complemented by newly designed 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a wing-style rear spoiler, while its proportions remain well-balanced at 3,830 mm in length, 1,723 mm in width and 1,643 mm in height, supported by a segment-leading wheelbase of 2,450 mm, and inside the cabin, the upgrades continue with a premium navy-and-grey dual-tone theme, a revised 3D carbon-effect dashboard, improved upholstery, metal pedals, a D-cut steering wheel and enhanced comfort features such as a folding armrest and adjustable driver seat, all contributing to a more refined and contemporary in-cabin experience.
