Hyundai on Monday officially launched Exter, the smallest of all sports utility vehicles by the carmaker. It has a starting price of ₹5.99 lakh for the base variant and ₹9.31 lakh for the top variant.

The automobile giant has showed its credentials as a dominant SUV player but its rivals have made attempts to consolidate their presence in the segment. The company's Creta is a formidable force but Exter could add a much-needed dose of fresh momentum, HT Auto reported.
