Spy shots

These spy shots were posted by Seoul_car_spotting. Straight away at the front, we see an upright grille design with headlamps placed adjacent to them. As we move up, we can see the H-shaped DRL design and a big Hyundai logo similar to the Verna. Moving to the side, we can see a Brezza-ish design with subtle cuts and creases. Also, we have roof rails and a diamond-cut alloy wheel design. The rear has been spotted for the first time, we can see a grand i10 Nios-like spoiler. Again we have H-shaped taillamps and a gloss black element connecting them. 

New Hyundai Exter – Specifications

The Exter is almost certain to come with several engine and transmission options. It is rumoured to come with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine and a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol. The naturally aspirated engine could even come with a CNG option. What about a diesel engine option? Hyundai might skip a diesel engine due to the stringent emission norms. In terms of transmission, we could see a plethora of options with manual, iMT, AMT and a proper automatic expected. 

Expected features

Hyundai will be looking to load the Exter with features to take on the Tata Punch. We expect features like a sunroof, a 10-inch infotainment, a digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, wireless charging and much more.
