2. Dual Dashcam and TPMS
Other segment-first features in the Exter are dual dashcam and TPMS. Dashcams are important as they serve two purposes – recording journeys for personal use like vlogging or keeping them as memories AND using the footage for safety and evidence in case of undesirable circumstances like accidents to determine who was at fault. Similarly, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) is a useful tool to timely figure out if any tyre is deflated.

5. Better Resale
The used car market has seen a massive boost in the last few years. Hence, people consider the resale value of a car before making a purchase decision. In this regard, Hyundai cars will have a better resale value because they are reliable, the local manufacturing ensures that the spare parts are available in any corner of the country even years after the car is launched or discontinued. This reduces the overall ownership costs as well.
