Hyundai Exter Facelift: Engine and Powertrain
Mechanically, the Hyundai Exter Facelift remains unchanged. It continues with the same engine options as the outgoing model.

| 1.2L Petrol + CNG | 69hp | 95Nm | 5MT |
The petrol version offers a balance of performance and efficiency, while the CNG variant targets cost-conscious buyers with lower running costs.
Notably, the factory-fitted dual-cylinder CNG setup allows for better boot space management, with a spare wheel still included.
Segment and Rivals
The Hyundai Exter competes in the entry-level SUV segment against models like the Tata Punch. With this update, Hyundai aims to strengthen its position by offering improved features and refreshed styling without significantly increasing costs.
What This Means for Buyers
For buyers, the Exter facelift offers a familiar package with incremental improvements. Those looking for a compact SUV with modern features and multiple fuel options may find this update relevant, especially with added convenience features now available across more variants.
However, since the engine remains unchanged, buyers prioritising performance upgrades may not see a significant difference.
Conclusion
The Hyundai Exter Facelift brings a series of small but meaningful updates, focusing on design, features, and variant restructuring. While it does not introduce mechanical changes, the improvements enhance overall usability and appeal.
As competition intensifies in the entry-level SUV space, these updates help Hyundai keep the Exter relevant for Indian buyers.
