Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch: Which one is better?

The micro-SUV segment in India has been dominated by the Tata Punch since it arrived in 2021. The alternatives in this segment were scarce until the arrival of the recently launched Hyundai Exter. If you are confused about which micro-SUV to pick, in this article, we will compare all the aspects, including the exterior, interior, engine, and prices of both vehicles.

Exterior highlights and dimensions of Punch and Exter

Right Front Three Quarter

Starting with how the SUVs look, the Tata Punch gets a split design with LED DRLs and projector headlamps, fog lamps placed on the lower bumper, and a tri-arrow-themed grille. Other exterior highlights include blacked-out front and rear bumpers, black side claddings, 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, squared-off wheel arches, 90-degree opening doors, C-pillar mounted door handles, and Y-shaped wraparound LED taillamps.

On the other hand, the Hyundai Exter follows the brand’s new ‘Parametric Dynamism’ design identity. It takes design cues from the Hyundai Venue and the Grand i10 Nios. Up front, it gets an upright bonnet, H-shaped LED DRLs, projector headlamps housed in the gloss black grille, faux skid plate, and ‘Exter’ lettering above the grille. Other highlights include squared-off wheel arches, 15-inch diamond-cut dual-tone alloy wheels, roof rails, rear spoiler, shark-fin antenna, H-shaped LED tail lights, and unique black pattern finishes on C-pillar and tailgate.
