Update: Hyundai confirmed the engine options of the 2023 Exter on May 8, 2023. This post includes the updated powertrain details based on the currently available information.

In this Exter vs Kiger (expected) engine spec comparison, we’ll try to find out which car excels in what aspects of the engine specs. Besides the Renault Kiger, the Hyundai Exter will also rival the affordable SUVs like the Maruti Fronx, Nissan Magnite, Tata Punch and Citroen C3.

Renault Kiger Vs Hyundai Exter - Normal Petrol Engine Spec Comparison (Expected)

The Renault Kiger gets a smaller 1.0L normal petrol engine with a manual transmission and an AMT automatic transmission. The Exter 2023 will also get the same transmission options with the 1.2L normal petrol engine. It could offer 11PS more power and 18Nm better torque than the Kiger 1.0L normal petrol along with slightly better mileage figures.

The Exter will get a 4-cylinder petrol engine while the Kiger gets a 3-cylinder motor. 4-cylinder engines are inherently balanced and offer a smoother driving experience than 3-cylinder engines.
