The Hyundai Exter has been making waves in the Indian market with consistent sales since its launch in July last year. Competing directly with the Tata Punch, the Exter is currently available at a starting price of Rs. 6.13 lakh (ex-showroom) and is offered in seven variants: EX, EX (O), S, S (O), SX, SX (O), and SX (O) Connect.
For those looking to book the Exter this month, be prepared to wait up to 16 weeks for delivery, a significant improvement from the previous waiting period of approximately 38 weeks. The entry-level EX and EX (O) variants, along with the top-spec petrol manual SX (O) Connect variant, have the longest waiting periods of 14 to 16 weeks and 4 to 6 weeks, respectively. Meanwhile, all other versions, including the CNG trims, have a uniform waiting time of 8 to 10 weeks.
Waiting Periods by Variant
- EX and EX (O): 14-16 weeks
- SX (O) Connect Manual: 4-6 weeks
- Other variants (manual, AMT, CNG, and dual-tone): 8-10 weeks
Under the hood, the Hyundai Exter is powered by the brand's reliable 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. The engine delivers 81bhp and 113Nm of peak torque. Additionally, customers can choose a factory-fitted CNG kit option with the S and SX variants for a more economical driving experience.
