Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has begun exporting the Made in India Hyundai Exter to South Africa, marking 20 years of exports to the country. The Exter joins the lineup of seven other models, including the Grand i10 NIOS, AURA, i20, and Venue, all manufactured in India for the South African market.
The first batch of 996 units of the Exter
has already been dispatched, with the SUV now available in three variants:
Premium, Executive, and Elite, starting at R 2,69,900 (approx. Rs 12.95 lakh).
It boasts features like a single-pane sunroof, touchscreen infotainment system,
digital instrument cluster, and a rearview camera. Under the hood, the South
Africa-spec Exter is powered by a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine producing
82 BHP and 114 Nm of torque, available with both 5-speed manual and AMT
transmissions.
This export expansion strengthens
Hyundai's global presence, building on the success of the Exter in India, where
it has already surpassed 1 lakh sales within a year.
