Hyundai Motor India has introduced a new base EX variant of the Exter Hy-CNG, priced at ₹7.5 lakh (ex-showroom). This move lowers the entry point into the Exter CNG lineup by up to ₹1 lakh, making it more accessible to first-time buyers and customers seeking economical fuel options. Previously, the CNG variant was available only in mid-spec S, SX, and SX Knight trims.
Bookings for the new variant are now open online and at dealerships, with deliveries expected to begin soon. The Exter is Hyundai’s first model to feature dual-cylinder CNG technology, making it the second carmaker in India after Tata Motors to offer this system.
The EX variant is powered by the same 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 69hp and 95.2Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car has a 60-litre CNG tank and delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of 27.1km/kg.
Key features include six airbags, ABS with EBD, front power windows, keyless entry, central locking, LED tail-lamps, a 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster, rear parking sensors, driver seat height adjustment, manual air conditioning, adjustable rear headrests, and 3-point seat belts for all seats.
Hyundai’s Whole-Time Director and COO, Tarun Garg, stated that the new variant reflects the company’s commitment to expanding green mobility and making smart mobility solutions more accessible, while offering a balance of affordability, efficiency, and safety.
