The Latest Release from Hyundai Hits the Market and Promises to Challenge the Competition. Meet the Hyundai Exter, an Entry-Level Model Priced Below R$ 40,000.
New Hyundai Car: Hyundai Exter Arrives on the Market! The automaker made a notable launch in Asia, presenting an SUV that has become one of the most desired models in the automotive market and could threaten the position of the HB20. However, for those living in Brazil, a bit more patience will be needed. This is because Hyundai’s new vehicle was initially launched in India in June 2023, and there is still no forecast for its arrival here.
New Hyundai Car Costs Around R$ 40,000 (in direct conversion and without taxes)
The model is the Hyundai Exter, whose price is around 600,000 rupees, equivalent to about R$ 40,000 in direct conversion, more specifically R$ 36,000. According to estimates, the converted price has been the most appealing to potential Brazilian buyers, considering that a model of this level here is sold for around R$ 100,000. Thus, if the launch of Hyundai’s new car occurs here, it would be considered the most affordable SUV in the country.
The most interesting fact about all this is that the Hyundai Exter has the potential to surpass one of the brand’s best-selling models, the HB20, as it will arrive a bit more compact, which ends up attracting more consumers.
