Hyundai is shaking things up in the compact SUV space again, this time with the launch of two new variants for its popular Exter SUV—S Smart and SX Smart. Aimed squarely at young, tech-savvy buyers, these fresh additions promise to make the Exter even more appealing with smarter features and competitive pricing. Let’s cut into what these variants bring to the table.

Pricing
Both variants have been introduced at attractive price points, making them accessible to a broad segment of buyers:
| Variant | Price (ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| S Smart | Rs. 7.68 lakh |
| SX Smart | Rs. 8.16 lakh |
Whether you prefer a manual or automatic transmission, both options are available. Plus, there’s also a CNG-powered version for those who prioritize fuel efficiency and lower running costs.
S Smart
The S Smart is designed to offer more style and comfort without stretching your budget. Some of the key features include:
- Electric sunroof
- Rear AC vents
- LED tail lamps and DRLs
- Highline TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
- 15-inch alloy wheels
These additions bring a more premium feel to what’s essentially a mid-level variant. The sunroof and rear AC vents especially stand out as practical and desirable additions for daily commuting and summer road trips.
SX Smart
The SX Smart goes a step further, combining functionality with a few tech-savvy upgrades. Here’s what you get:
- Push-button start
- Electric sunroof
- 15-inch steel wheels
- Projector headlamps
- Sharkfin antenna
- TPMS
While the alloy wheels are reserved for the S Smart, the SX Smart adds a bit more in terms of tech and convenience, making it a great pick for buyers looking for that little extra without hitting the top-end price bracket.
Infotainment
One of the most customer-friendly moves Hyundai has made is offering an upgraded infotainment system as a genuine accessory. For just Rs. 14,999, you can upgrade to a 22.96 cm touchscreen infotainment system. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and also includes a rear camera for easier parking.
This upgrade comes with a 3-year warranty, which makes it a no-brainer for buyers looking for a connected and safer driving experience.
Statement
Hyundai’s Whole-Time Director and COO, Mr. Tarun Garg, summed it up well. He said the company is focused on democratizing technology—making advanced features accessible to a wider group of customers. The new Exter variants are a clear reflection of that approach. By adding smart features and keeping prices competitive, Hyundai is aiming to solidify Exter’s position as a top choice in the entry-level SUV segment.
These new variants aren’t just about adding features—they’re about making style, safety, and tech more accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or just looking for a smart upgrade, the new Exter S Smart and SX Smart variants offer a compelling package in a crowded market.
