Hyundai is all set to launch a new SUV. Now, the company has released a sketch of the Hyundai Exter.
Hyundai is one of the most prominent players in the country’s automotive industry. It has many high-selling models in the market, including Grand i10 Nios, i20, Venue, Verna, and Creta. Now, the company is ready to add a micro-SUV to its portfolio. Dubbed Hyundai Exter, the new model will go against the Maruti Ignis, Tata Punch, and Citroen C3. In fact, it could even eat into the sales of the B1-segment hatchbacks. The Exter will launch on July 10 and ahead of its market debut, the carmaker has revealed the design and feature details of the new offering.
