▲ 8Quality of interior plastics is a letdown for a car costing this much. There are annoying creaks from the dashboard and door pads when going over rough roads. Service center couldn't fix it.

▲ 5The petrol turbo engine has got genuine punch. The MT transmission shifts are lightning-quick and smooth. Extremely fun to drive on open highway stretches.

▲ 7Very practical family car. Cabin space is class-leading, dashboard layout is clean, and the panoramic sunroof makes the interior feel huge. Service costs are predictable too.

▲ 167The biggest issue is the looks can be polarizing. It gets really annoying in daily usage and makes me regret not looking at other segment options.

▲ 43Loving my Hyundai Exter petrol. The engine is exceptionally refined and quiet at idle, sometimes I have to check the tachometer to see if it is running. The ride is soft and comfortable.

Exter blueprint — tap any metric to see how it compares in the sub 4m suv class.
Wheelbase (2,450 mm)
On the Exter, the wheelbase is 50 mm shorter than the segment median. Rear legroom is tighter — best if back-seat use is occasional. A longer wheelbase also reduces pitch over potholes and speed breakers.
Automobile Literacy
Jargon-Free Safety & Tech
What all those complex brochure codes actually mean in plain, practical terms.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) & VSM
Emergency Anti-Skid. If the vehicle senses a loss of traction (like on wet mud or when swerving to avoid an obstacle), it automatically applies brakes to individual wheels to keep you on your steered path. Essential for safety.
HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)
Roll-back Prevention. When starting the vehicle on a steep slope (like a flyover or basement mall ramp), it holds the brakes for 2 seconds after you release the pedal, giving you time to move your foot to the accelerator.
6 SRS Airbags (Standard)
Full-Cabin Cushioning. Protects all occupants in case of an impact. Includes two front airbags, two seat-mounted side airbags, and two curtain airbags that shield front and rear passengers' heads from side window impacts.
All-Wheel Disc Brakes
Consistent Stopping Power. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes dissipate heat quickly, preventing brake fade. They stop the vehicle shorter, more predictably, and with far less foot pressure.
Star Map LED DRLs & Headlamps
Advanced Night Vision. LEDs throw a much whiter, wider, and brighter beam than yellow halogens, reducing eye fatigue during night highway runs. Star Map running lights make you highly visible to oncoming traffic.
