The Hyundai Exter is the brand’s most affordable SUV, and it packs a lot of style and kit into a small, city-friendly package. It’s a sub-4-metre, five-seat SUV with a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a factory CNG option, and it’s aimed at first-time buyers who want an SUV look without a big price. Safety is a real strength, with six airbags standard across every variant. Prices run from around ₹5.8 lakh to ₹9.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It competes with cars like the Tata Punch, Citroen C3 and Maruti Ignis.
This gallery walks through the interior and exterior of the Hyundai Exter, so you get a better idea of how it looks and feels in person. On Spinny, a well-kept used one costs noticeably less than a new car.
Hyundai Exter Exterior
The Exter has a bold, boxy look that makes it feel bigger and tougher than it is, which is exactly what buyers in this class want.
Front:
The front is the standout, with H-shaped LED daytime running lamps flanking a black grille and projector headlamps on the higher trims. It’s a genuinely striking face for an affordable SUV.
Side profile:
From the side it’s tall and upright, with black wheel-arch cladding, bridge-type roof rails and 15-inch dual-tone alloys on the top trims. It looks like a proper little SUV.
Rear:
The back mirrors the front with H-shaped LED tail-lamps, a roof spoiler and a chunky bumper with a skid-plate-style lower section.
If you’re browsing the Exter on Spinny, many listings have a 360° exterior spin. Where it’s there, use it to turn the actual car around and check the panels, roof and wheels before you book a test drive.

Hyundai Exter Interior Images
Inside, the Exter feels more thought-through than most cars at the price, with a smart cabin and features you don’t expect this low down.
Dashboard and layout:
The dashboard has a grey-and-navy theme with an 8-inch touchscreen (wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) and a semi-digital driver’s display. There’s even a single-pane sunroof on the top trims.
Seats and space:
The seats are comfortable for city use and the cabin feels airy for its size, with a folding driver’s armrest and useful touches dotted around.
Boot space:
The petrol has a practical 391-litre boot; note that the CNG version has notably less — around 225 litres — because of the tanks under the floor.
Key touchpoints:
Look for a sunroof, wireless charging, automatic climate control, cruise control and even a factory-fitted dashcam on the higher trims.
Where a listing includes a 360° interior view, use it to check the seats, dashboard and controls on that specific car.
