Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Hyundai Exter
- Design: Subtle updates like the new grille, alloys and wing-type spoiler keep the Exter looking fresh without losing its distinct identity
- Cabin: New dual-tone Navy & Grey theme, metal pedals and improved materials make the interior feel more premium and youthful
- Strong package with 6 airbags as standard, ESC, HAC and over 45 safety features for added peace of mind
- Spacious cabin, 391-litre boot and smart dual-cylinder CNG layout that retains usable luggage space
- Refinement: The only 4-cylinder engine in the segment delivers smoother and more refined performance than rivals
Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Features: Useful additions like ventilated seats, wireless charger and Level-2 ADAS
- Ride comfort: Isolates really well from bad roads and feels stable on the highway
- Refinement: Despite the 3-cylinder engine, feels refined with controlled vibrations
- Space: Accommodates four adults, including tall ones at the rear
- City drivability: Feels smooth and has good usable performance for city speeds

Hyundai Exter
- Performance: Engine is smooth but not exciting, no option of a turbo-petrol
Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Looks: New grille looks too bold in what is an otherwise sober styling
- Silly misses: No rear central armrest, front type-C ports and LED indicators
- Highway performance: Slow and gradual acceleration beyond 60kmph takes time to build speed
