We find out how the Hyundai Exter fares against its rivals on paper

Hyundai Exter is now on sale in India and is being offered in five broad variants – EX, S, SX, SX (O), and SX (O) Connect – along with both petrol and CNG powertrain options. Considering the size and price of the micro SUV, we have compared its specifications with its direct rival, the Tata Punch, as well as other close rivals in the small SUV and crossover space. Let’s see how each of them fared on paper:

Hyundai Exter

  • Hyundai Exter stands out as the tallest among all the models mentioned in the table. However, in terms of length, it is shorter and narrower than all except the Maruti Ignis.

  • Exter’s direct rival, the Tata Punch, is longer than the Hyundai’s micro SUV, but falls short in terms of wheelbase and boot space figures.

  • Understandably, Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite subcompact SUVs are longer and wider than the rest of the cars here but it’s the Citroen C3 that claims the longest wheelbase. 

  • The Kiger’s boot offers the highest luggage loading capacity, followed by the Hyundai Exter, which has the second-highest boot space among all the models in this comparison.

Tata Punch Engine

  • All these models except the Renault-Nissan twins offer a 1.2-litre petrol engine. However, the Hyundai Exter is the only model here to also offer a CNG option (at this time). 

  • The output figures and transmission options for the Maruti Ignis and Hyundai Exter petrol are almost identical. They are also the only models here to offer a four-cylinder engine which offers more refinement than the three-cylinder units of the others.

  • If you want performance, it’s the C3’s turbo-petrol engine with the most power and torque and the only one to offer a 6-speed transmission.

  • Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite on the other hand come with smaller 1-litre naturally aspirated petrol (72PS and 96Nm) and 1-litre turbo petrol (100PS and up to 160Nm) engines. The turbo variants of these subcompact SUVs also come with the option of a CVT automatic transmission, unlike other models which only have the option of an AMT gearbox.

  • The Tata Punch is due to get a CNG option later in the year, differentiated from the Exter CNG with its twin-cylinder setup for a bigger boot.

Hyundai Exter Interior

  • It is the Hyundai Exter that offers a more comprehensive list of features, with many,  like a sunroof, dual-cameras dash cam, and six airbags as standard, being segment firsts.

  • Tata Punch is also a well-packaged offering, and comes with features such as rain-sensing wipers, traction modes and 16-inch alloy wheels over the Hyundai micro SUV.

  • Nissan Magnite is the only offering in the segment which comes with a 360-degree camera while the Citroen hatchback gets the biggest touchscreen unit here

  • Renault Kiger comes with up to four airbags, while Tata Punch, Maruti Ignis and Citroen C3 only get the mandated dual front airbags. Even so, the Punch is the only model here with a five-star safety rating from the Global NCAP crash tests

  • Even though the Maruti Ignis is the most dated offering here, it still covers all the basic requirements. At the same time, the C3 has even fewer creature comforts to offer, despite the additional tech over the Maruti model.
