Hyundai Exter Hi-CNG Duo: CNG Without Compromise

  • Twin-cylinder CNG setup with usable boot space.
  • 1.2-litre four-cylinder Kappa engine, manual gearbox.
  • Sunroof, dash cam, wireless charger and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.

Hyundai is pitching the Exter Hi-CNG Duo as a CNG car that does not make buyers give up features or practicality. The brand’s message is that mileage should not be the only deciding factor for people who drive every day.

As the name suggests, the Hi-CNG Duo uses two CNG cylinders. Hyundai says this layout still leaves a good amount of boot space. Power comes from a 1.2-litre four-cylinder Kappa engine paired with a CNG setup and a manual transmission. The reviewer in the video describes the drive as smooth, with consistent power delivery and decent mileage. No mileage figure, power output or price was given.

The Exter’s compact size suits city use, especially in traffic and tight parking spots, which is where most CNG cars spend their time.

The feature list is aimed at daily commuters:

  • Dash cam
  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
  • Wireless charger
  • Type-C ports in both front and rear rows
  • Electric sunroof

Rear-seat comfort is another talking point. The reviewer calls the cabin roomy, with a large glass area that adds to the airy feel. He also says the boot still has plenty of space despite the CNG tank.

Buyers can look out for offers during Hyundai’s festive “Super Delite Days”. A test drive at the nearest dealership is the best way to check space and driveability.
