The Exter, set to take over from the Venue as the automaker’s most affordable crossover, must convince potential buyers of its prowess.
Officially launched in South Africa, the Hyundai Exter slots into the South Korean automaker’s local portfolio as the most affordable crossover. But do South Africans have reason enough to be excited about it? Charlen Raymond takes a closer look.
The line-up comprises Premium, Executive, and Elite specifications, in manual or automated manual transmission; both with five speeds. The Elite model is available with the AMT gearbox only. Inside, things do look up. Despite the exuberant use of hard plastics, the cabin is a well-adorned space. The steering wheel is well laid out, typically Hyundai, and is easy to use. The cruise control and volume controls are within easy reach, with your thumbs instinctively finding their way to it. In the Elite model, the climate control is operated electronically. Across the board, the USB and USB-C ports are below the dashboard and the multimedia screen also plays home to the rearview camera.
In terms of the South African colour palette, prospective buyers can choose between Titan Grey, Shadow Grey, Fiery Red, Moonlight Blue, Cosmic Blue, Atlas White, and Ranger Khaki. The latter three hues, when opted for on the Executive and Elite models, come with the black roof, effectively creating a two-tone colour scheme.This crossover has a lot to shoulder as it aims to give prospective buyers the best possible.
