2023 Hyundai Exter: Design

In the new image, the Exter can be seen donning a chunky rear skid plate, much like the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. The tail lamps on the Exter are squarish; they get a dumbbell-like glow pattern. A similar theme is used for the front LED DRLs as well. Strongly holding the place in between these tail lamps is a piano-black strip.

The front end is boxy with dumb-bells-like LED DRLs. The bonnet is set high and flat, making the face look masculine. The headlamps are vertically-split units but sit rather high up the bonnet. Another chunky piece of design element on the front end is the silver scuff plate and bold ‘EXTER’ badging. Sideways, it is upright. Reminds of the Fiat Panda and for obvious reasons - WagonR.

The Hyundai Exter will get a voice-enabled Smart Electric Sunroof that will respond to voice commands like “Open Sunroof” or “I want to see the sky”. Also to help owners capture each memorable experience with Hyundai Exter, this SUV features a dashcam with dual cameras that boasts of front & rear cameras, a 5.84 cm (2.31”) LCD Display, Smartphone app-based connectivity and multiple recording modes.
