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 Celerio
- Spacious and comfortable cabin: Can seat four adults in good comfort.
- Performance is peppy for the city and returns a good fuel efficiency too.
- Good features: Ticks all the functional equipment, along with some extra comfort features.
- Easy to drive: Light clutch, light steering and good low-end performance makes it new-driver friendly.

Hyundai Exter
- Performance: Engine is smooth but not exciting, no option of a turbo-petrol
Maruti Suzuki Celerio
- Not so stable: Ride quality at higher speeds feels firm and causes some side-to-side cabin movement.
- Limited cabin practicality: Could be better with more storage space in front of and behind the handbrake.
- Base LXi and VXi variants are not value for money: Pack only the absolute basics.
