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 XUV300 (expected) engine spec comparison, we’ll try to find out which car excels in what aspects of the engine specs. The Hyundai Exter primarily competes with affordable SUVs like the Maruti Fronx, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Tata Punch and Citroen C3. But, because of the potentially overlapping price band, we think it could sway buyers away from the Mahindra XUV300. Here, we hope this Mahindra XUV300 vs Exter engine spec comparison helps you with deciding if you should wait for the upcoming Exter or go ahead with booking the XUV300.

The XUV300 gets a 1.2L turbo petrol engine, which makes 110PS of power and 200Nm of torque. This engine is available with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed AMT automatic transmission. The more powerful turbo petrol engine of the XUV300 makes 130PS of power and 230Nm of torque and only get a 6-speed manual transmission option.
Meanwhile, the Exter will come with a 1.2L normal petrol engine, which is likely to make 83PS of power and 114Nm of torque.

Besides the normal petrol-manual and automatic powertrains, Hyundai also confirmed that the Exter will get the CNG bi-fuel option with a manual transmission. While the specs aren’t out yet, we expect its performance figures to align with those of the Nios CNG. So, it could make 69PS of power and 95Nm of torque while claiming to deliver mileage of around 26kmpkg when running on CNG. Meanwhile, the Sonet doesn’t get a CNG fuel option.
