Speed & Stability
Hyundai Exter will give a mileage of 18 to 20 kmpl. It will get 5-speed manual and automatic transmission gearbox. For safety in the car, features like ABS with EBD, 6 airbags, hill start assist, electronic stability control and rear parking sensors have been provided.
ABS: Works & Benefits
ABS technology reduces the risk of accidents. This system runs from the wheel sensor. Those who sense harsh road conditions activate the ABS. In this, sudden braking during an accident gives the driver more time to control the vehicle than the normal braking system. The sensor automatically engages the anti-lock brakes. When the wheels of a vehicle lock up when the brakes are applied, there is a possibility of the vehicle skidding dangerously on the road surface (especially on wet surfaces).
Lock-up and skidding
ABS is activated in case of tire slip. This prevents lock-up and skidding in slippery conditions. Using ABS is very different from using regular brakes. If you are braking normally at a stop sign, red light or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you, the ABS system will not activate. The ABS will automatically get activated when the brakes are applied suddenly at high speeds.
Tough Competition in Market
Attractive color options have been offered in the car. Split headlamp set-up has been given in the car. It has a contrasting black grille and faux silver skid plate. In the market, this car competes with Tata Punch, Citroen C3, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite and Maruti Suzuki Fronx.
Safety reminder in car
The car has features like 3-point seat belts and seatbelt reminder. Hyundai launched its cheapest sub compact SUV on 10th July. So far, booking of more than 16 thousand units of the car has been done.
