Hyundai Exter SX Tech: Features and Specifications
The Hyundai Exter SX Tech is a mid-tier model, positioned just below the higher-end SX(O) and SX(O) Connect versions. It offers three choices: petrol-manual, petrol-AMT, and CNG-manual, catering to various driver preferences. This variant includes several key features: Keyless Entry and Go, Automatic Climate Control, and an 8-inch Touchscreen Infotainment System that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Additional features are a dashcam with front and rear cameras and an electric sunroof, along with projector headlamps.
However, the Hyundai Exter SX Tech variant does miss out on some features present in the SX(O) trim, such as ambient lighting, a wireless smartphone charger, leatherette upholstery, a cooled glove box, and a rear wiper. Despite this, the SX Tech offers excellent value, priced at approximately Rs 44,000 less than the SX(O) trim.

Exter S+: The S+ trim mirrors the updates of the S trim, with the added luxury of a sunroof, rear AC vents, and power-adjustable outside rearview mirrors.

All Exter CNG variants, except the S trim, now come with the dual-cylinder setup introduced last year.
Hyundai Exter Powertrain
The Exter is constructed on the Hyundai-KIA K1 platform, giving it a strong, SUV-like appearance. It offers two engine options: a 1.2-liter Kappa petrol engine and a 1.2-liter petrol-CNG engine. The petrol variant generates 82 bhp and 114 Nm of torque, available with both manual and AMT automatic transmissions. In contrast, the CNG engine produces 68 bhp and 95 Nm, and it is paired exclusively with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
