(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) The Hyundai Exter debuted in the mini SUV market with a starting price of Rs 5.99 lakh. But since then, the model's cost has increased. The Hyundai Exter, which is a direct rival to the well-liked Tata Punch, seeks to enthral consumers with its extensive feature set and appealing appearance. Both the Tata Punch and the Hyundai Exter have 1.2-liter petrol engines and are priced similarly. This places them squarely against one other in the growing micro SUV market. Even though the Tata Punch has attracted a lot of interest and a devoted following of buyers, Hyundai's solid brand recognition and the Exter's contemporary appeal present a serious threat.
A detailed comparison of these two models, considering factors such as pricing, features, performance, and design, is essential for consumers making a choice in this competitive segment.

With its larger and broader body, measuring 3,827 mm in length and 1,742 mm in width, the Tata Punch has a more conventional SUV stance. The Exter is really higher at 1,631 mm, including roof rails, despite appearing taller.
