Hyundai Exter EX CNG Variant Launched With 6 Airbags and Enhanced Features

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has introduced a new EX variant in the Exter Hy-CNG Duo lineup. Priced at ₹7,50,700 (ex-showroom), this latest addition underscores the company's push towards offering environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient mobility solutions tailored for Indian consumers.

Bi-Fuel Setup for Cost-Efficient Performance

The new Hyundai Exter EX CNG variant features a bi-fuel system, allowing the vehicle to run on both petrol and compressed natural gas (CNG). This setup is particularly advantageous for users looking for cost-effective daily commuting without compromising on performance.

The dual-cylinder layout of the CNG tanks is intelligently designed to preserve maximum boot space, ensuring practicality along with efficiency. This makes the Exter EX CNG variant ideal for urban families and long-distance drivers alike.

Enhanced Safety with Six Airbags as Standard

A key highlight of the Exter Hy-CNG Duo EX is its emphasis on passenger safety. The variant comes equipped with six airbags as standard, reinforcing Hyundai's commitment to delivering safer driving experiences across all price points.

Other essential safety and convenience features include:

• Keyless entry for ease of access

• Driver seat height adjustment for enhanced ergonomics

• Stylish LED tail lamps

• Digital instrument cluster with a 10.67 cm color TFT screen

These features contribute to a well-rounded driving experience, combining safety, convenience, and modern technology in a compact SUV format.

Availability and Pricing

The Hyundai Exter EX CNG variant is now available at Hyundai dealerships across India. The variant is powered by the 1.2L Kappa petrol engine and integrated Hy-CNG Duo system, with the EX trim priced at ₹7,50,700 (ex-showroom).

This new trim level bridges the gap between affordability and advanced features, providing Indian buyers with a compelling choice in the CNG-powered SUV segment.

Hyundai’s Market Momentum with Creta Sales

Alongside the launch of the new Exter variant, Hyundai continues to dominate the Indian SUV market with impressive sales figures. In March 2025 alone, Hyundai sold 18,059 units of the Creta SUV, making it the best-selling car in India for that month.

For the fiscal year 2024-25, Hyundai recorded sales of 1,94,872 units of the Creta, registering a significant 20% year-on-year growth. These numbers further highlight the brand’s strong presence and consumer trust in the Indian automotive landscape.
