Hyundai ExtervsHyundai Verna

Our AI recommends

Hyundai Verna

78% Match

The Verna is the far more complete sedan, packing a bigger 1.5L 113bhp engine, a fully digital cluster, rear power windows, electric ORVMs and a more premium cabin, justifying its near-double price over the Exter. The Exter, however, is a compelling budget pick for buyers who just want a safe, no-frills city runabout at roughly half the cost. Choose the Verna for performance and features; choose the Exter purely for value and a smaller footprint.

Nearly half the price

At ₹5.8L vs ₹11L ex-showroom, the Exter frees up a huge amount of budget for a daily commuter who just needs reliable point-to-point transport.

Compact city footprint
