Our Park+ Highlight of the Day includes details on the upcoming Hyundai Exter micro SUV as the Korean carmaker has recently revealed its design.
Hyundai has been keeping the automotive industry on its toes with a series of tantalizing information regarding the Exter's much anticipated launch on July 10. The most recent information from the South Korean carmaker shows off the Exter's back design, officially ratcheting up the intrigue.
In-depth descriptions of the Exter's whole design were given in earlier publications after it was discovered in South Korea without any camouflage. Surprisingly, the India-spec model doesn't differ from those leaked photos. The square-shaped LED tail lamps on either side are perfectly connected by a wide black trim that spans the tailgate and distinguishes the Exter's rear look. The famous Hyundai logo dominates this contrasting black trim, which has a textured surface. Notably, the tail-lights themselves feature the characteristic ‘H’ lighting signature, complementing the LED daytime running lamps at the front.
The Exter presents an upright stance when viewed from the rear, which is enhanced by a beautifully sculpted tailgate that proudly displays the license plate. The rear bumper has a dual-tone design with prominently displayed faux silver skid plates and black cladding. Moreover, the front lights are perfectly incorporated into the cladding, giving the Exter's back profile a crisp and uniform appearance.
The Grand i10 Nios, the Aura, and the Exter all have similar underpinnings behind their fashionable exteriors. A 1.2-liter, four-cylinder, normally aspirated petrol engine with a maximum output of 83 horsepower and 114 Nm will drive this small miracle. Customers will have the option of either an AMT or a 5-speed manual gearbox. The Exter will also be offered in a CNG version with a 5-speed manual gearbox for those looking for a more environmentally friendly option.
Though the Exter's interior has not yet been made public, Hyundai has confirmed a number of its features. In particular, it will sport a dashcam with two cameras and a 2.31-inch LCD, a feature we've already seen in the Venue N Line. Six airbags are standard and an electronic sunroof is available on higher models, which shows that safety is of utmost importance. Along with these features, the Exter will include ESC, hill assist control, 3-point seat belts and seat belt reminders for every person, linked car attributes, keyless entry, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, programmed headlights, and a rear parking camera.
