When planning a car purchase Indian families look at various aspects. Some may look for interior space, some for features, some look for styling and some consider mileage. However, one sought after aspect that remains common for all, is safety. In India, Hyundai has always been committed to safety. Since its incorporation in India in 1996, Hyundai has been equipping its cars with top-notch safety features and quality materials.
Hyundai’s Steel – Robust, Reliable and Safe
Hyundai uses AHSS and HSS (Advanced High Strength Steel and High Strength Steel) on the Exter SUV. The application of these modern steel materials not only brings high durability and high rigidity but also low Noise, Vibrations and Harshness.
The modern high-strength steel is capable of absorbing crash energy and stopping it from reaching the cabin. In the event of a collision, new high-strength steel can transfer the energy, disperse and redirect the force of an impact from the front and rear of a vehicle. The energy of a collision reaches a firewall of high-strength steel preventing further collapse and keeping the passengers safe on the inside.
The Exter is equipped with a strong body structure forged using both AHSS and HSS. Key areas on the body structure of the Exter have been reinforced to enhance its structural rigidity as well as for better, crash force absorption. Thanks to this, the Hyundai Exter offers a better frontal and side collision protection to occupants.
Safety Features on the Exter
Hyundai offers the Eater with 26 Standard safety features across all trims. Not only this, the Exter also comes with over 40 Advanced safety features setting new benchmarks in the segment. Today’s Gen MZ customers are quite keen about safety features available with their purchase and therefore, Hyundai offers the Exter with 6 Airbags – front, Side & Curtain – as standard across variants.
In addition to this, the Exter also comes with standard features such as 3-point seatbelts for all passengers, seatbelt reminder for all passengers, speed sensing auto door lock, impact sensing auto door unlock, emergency stop signal, high speed alert, burglar alarm, engine immobiliser, ABS, with EBD, Electronic Stability Control, Vehicle Stability Management, Hill Assist Control and more.

The Exter also adds to the safety of the driver and occupants thanks to convenience features such as 92 embedded voice commands that includes 15 Hinglish Voice Commands that works even without internet. Using these voice commands, the driver can use the phone and navigation and also operate the climate control and sunroof. In addition to this, the car also comes with features such as Advanced auto crash notification (ACN), SOS (Emergency assist), Road Side Assistance, stolen vehicle tracking, notification and immobilization.
