Living with the Hyundai Exter | 20000 KM Long Term Review | CarDekho.com

I took a test drive at tumkur, Karnataka The performance was good it was some engine noise if you over 60km/hr, Suspension could be a bit better, I feel Good infotainment system no lag, very smooth and crisp. Overall it was a good experience I feel at that at this price they should atleast give adjustable head rest

My first point of opinion was user review before buying my first car which is Hyundai Exter- SX knight Edition. When I took the test drive I felt confidence and features this car is offering is not present in other cars. It perform excellent on hilly areas, Hill assist works perfectly. Car pull without rolling back even in full load. Full marks on it. Car rolling is there but if you drive carefully doesn't feel like anything. Anyway which car you buy you should drive carefully not recklessly. Fuel economy- it is good on highway I am getting around 16-18. In city around 14-15 KM. I am in Bengaluru, so considering traffic condition it is good. Boot space- claimed one vs reality is different. Not much spacious. 2 medium size trolley can fit in. Ride Quality- I am driving automatic , gear shifting from 1-2-3 you will feel gears getting changed but jerks comes in. Nothing like that. It is very very smooth. Speeding and overtaking- well it amt so yes pickup you have do it smartly. Use peddle shifter to downshift and then it goes smoothly. It works for me atleast. Hill Drive- I saw multiple videos before taking new car to the Ooty from Bangalore. Whoever knows ooty drive is one of the most scenic and challenging drive in India. Trust me car delivered it all.. I was driving with 4 people with full luggage. Car very well picked up on the hills. No manual mode it was automatic mode. Exter feature to use peddle shifter works really well on those terrain. It is one of the good feature of this car. Hill assit - It works superbly, not a single inch it rolled back. Few things you have to keep in mind. It works only when car is already in start state and you have kept on brake for sometime. Doesn't work just after starting or in ingition off mode. 

I have been driving Sx MT for an year now. Have driven more than 7000kms now. Have taken it for highways twice ( 600 to 1000 kms each time). In Indian city bumper to bumper traffic, because of relatively smaller length manuvering is very satisfying in spite of an alround bold look. Milage in city traffic ( for me) too is a decent 13.5 - 14.5 per litre. In the highways it gave me a mileage of upto 20.8 per litre which is amazing to say the least. With 6 airbags, TPMS, hill hold assist, cruise control, relatively good boot space, sunroof, decent inside space and a very different look from all other car inthis segment it got to attract a car lover for sure. Further to add, a very silent 4 four cylinder engine while sitting inside and very different cosy spacious cabin its a real fun driving it. Two small things missing are absence of an armrest at least in the front and a same size tyre in the boot as well. But below 10 lakhs of budget on road I cannot expect more. Last but not the least the after sale service of Hyundai is something exemplary.

(Pros) Good Features: Even the base model has many features. It comes with 6 airbags, which is great for safety. Looks Nice: The car looks modern and stylish from outside and inside. Comfortable: Seats are good and the car feels smooth while driving. Sunroof and Tech: Higher versions have a sunroof, rear AC, wireless charging, and even a dashcam. Easy to Drive: It is easy to handle in city traffic and on highways too. Mileage: The mileage is decent, especially with the CNG option. (Cons) Boot Space: The luggage space is not very big. Not for Off-Road: It looks like an SUV but it?s not good for rough roads or hilly areas. No Diesel Option: Only petrol and CNG are available, no diesel. Engine Power: It's okay for city use, but not very powerful for long drives with full load. --- It?s a great car for small families and city driving. If you want good features at a good price, Exter is a good choice.

Overall the car is good enough in this segment I guess it has a good milage+ good ground clearance boot space is also good as well as its a 5 seater comfort car so it would be an better option in this price I think the looks and maximize in future it is good but can be better and also the brand should focus on external safety also Thank you
