hyundai exter engine
Powering the Exter is the same 1.2-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine that powers other Hyundai models. It generates maximum power of 81.86 bhp and peak torque of 113.8 Nm. Running on CNG, these figures drop to 68 Bhp and 95.2 Nm. Maximum power kicks in at 6,000 rpm while peak torque output is generated at 4,000 rpm.
Powertrain and Gearbox
The Hyundai Xtor petrol powertrain comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed AMT. The CNG powertrain only gets a 5-speed manual gearbox. The engine is quite smooth and refined. Moreover, the manual gearbox also slots in with a positive feel while the AMT gearbox shifts with minimal nod, making it one of the best AMTs in the market. Interestingly, the Xtor AMT is also offered with paddle shifters.
The smallest SUV from Hyundai is the Xeter.
Hyundai Xtor is the smallest SUV from the automaker, which is successful in attracting hatchback customers. It fits the budget of new buyers who just want an SUV. The Exeter is smaller in size with a length of 3815 mm. Its design is quite spectacular. It is boxy compact and packed with styling elements. The front-end is particularly attractive with its parametric grille, large exterior lettering and H-pattern DRLs. The thick cladding, 15-inch alloy wheels, skid plate and roof rails give it a complete SUV look. It neither looks like a stooped SUV nor does it look like a raised hatchback. It is not even like a mini venue. Overall, it is a fresh product, presented with stunning color and paint finish.
What is the claim of the company
Tarun Garg, COO, Hyundai Motor India Ltd. said, “With the Hyundai Xter, we continue our quest for updated technology, superior quality, new generation features and safety features for the customers. This SUV has redefined the standards in the country and offers superior safety to the customers with 6 Airbags as standard and ESC, VSM, HAC available across all trims as options. He said that the response to Exeter has been so enthusiastic that bookings have grown from 10,000 prelaunch to over 50,000 in less than 30 days of launch. It is very interesting to see that the trims with sunroof account for more than 75 per cent of the total bookings, indicating a huge appreciation from the customers for the segment enhancing benchmark features offered in the Exeter.
