The Hyundai Exter edges ahead of the Tata Tiago with a more premium, feature-rich cabin — bigger boot, hill hold control, remote central locking, and LED-lit digital cluster with follow-me-home lamps — justifying its higher price. However, the Tiago counters with a lower asking price, a puncture repair kit, passenger airbag deactivation switch, and a spoiler, making it the value-conscious pick for buyers who don't need the extra polish.
