Hyundai Exter Bags Over 50,000 Bookings; Variants With Sunroof More In Demand

Hyundai India has announced receiving over 50,000 bookings for its recently launched micro-SUV – the Hyundai Exter. It’s been just about a month since the launch of the car, and at that point in time, the company had 10,000 pre-orders, which means over 40,000 bookings after the price announcement. The company says that the variants with the sunroof account for a good 75 per cent of total bookings, whereas a third of total bookings were for the AMT version of the car. The Hyundai Exter is currently priced between Rs. 6 lakh and Rs. 10 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
