Embrace the Future with the Hyundai Exter CNG
New Variants and Pricing
The updated CNG trims are available in the S, SX, and Knight Edition variants, each carrying a premium of Rs 7,000 over the previous versions. Despite the enhanced technology, the Hyundai Exter maintains its classic look, preserving the design that drivers love.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Hyundai Exter packs the same 1.2-litre powertrain. However, in this CNG configuration, the output adjusts to 68 bhp and 9.7 kgm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The CNG tank boasts a capacity of 60 litres, and Hyundai claims an impressive fuel efficiency figure of 27.1 km/kg. Given the current fuel prices, this efficiency is a notable advantage.

- 8-inch touch screen with smartphone connectivity
- Climate control
- Rear A/C vents
- Sunroof
- Six airbags
- Tyre-pressure monitoring system
- Hill-hold assist
- ISOFIX mounts
Competitive Pricing
With prices starting at Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hyundai Exter Hy-CNG Duo offers a competitive edge, costing marginally more than the Tata Punch iCNG. This raises the question: which one would you choose?
Conclusion
The Hyundai Exter Hy-CNG Duo stands out as a pioneering model in the CNG segment, offering advanced dual-cylinder technology and a suite of features at an attractive price point. For eco-conscious drivers seeking an alternative to electric vehicles, this model provides a compelling option.
