Pros	The most affordable car on sale in India Company fitted S-CNG kit available Extremely frugal and Engine is smooth and peppy Performance of this car is good for the price Reliable in the long run	It comes as a feature-loaded offering in its segment Offers largest boot space in the segment with 391 litres capacity The suspension is well-tuned to make it a perfect city car The AMTs are well tuned and offer a good driving experience The 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder NA petrol engine offers a good level of refinement Hyundai Exter’s interior is roomy as compared to its rivals A good number of safety features 6 airbags, ISOFIX child seat mount, ABS with EBD, ESC, TPMS, SOS Call and more The top-spec variant comes with a dual-camera dash cam Hyundai’s wide sales and service network is a boon for customers	-
Cons	Under power especially when AC is ON Average high speed manners Design is getting old and dated now Questionable safety standards	The sharp lines and curves might not look pleasing to everyone It does not offer an option of either a turbo petrol or a diesel engine The rear row offers good legroom but the under-thigh support is not sufficient The 1.2-litre NA petrol engine is not much fun to drive on highways The cabin only offers an option of a black interior It misses on some features such as auto-dimming IRVM, 6-speaker music system, and split rear seat among others	-

  The mileage is great, and the car is compact, so it can easily pass through narrow spaces and doesn't need much space for parking.

  It was a great experience! I really enjoyed visiting — the tea was very good, just a little low on sugar, so please keep that in mind for next time. I’ll definitely come again. It was a wonderful day. Thank you so much.
