Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) announced the expansion of its exports portfolio with the export of the Hyundai EXTER. The model will now be available in South Africa making it the eighth model to be exported to the country from India.
HMIL started the export of EXTER by dispatching the first lot of 996 units to South Africa. Along with EXTER, the company has offered GRAND i10 NIOS, AURA, i20, i20 N Line, VENUE, VENUE N Line and ALCAZAR.
Jae Wan Ryu, Function Head - Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor India Limited, said, "South Africa has always been an important export market for HMIL, as most of the models that are manufactured at HMIL's factory in Tamil Nadu are exported to South Africa. Also, 2024 is a milestone year for HMIL as it marks 20 years of exporting worldclass products to South Africa. ‘Made in India, Made for the World' is a testament to HMIL's manufacturing prowess as it is evident that our products are not only loved by the Indian audience, but garner appreciation from customers the world over. I am confident that the Hyundai EXTER would be highly appreciated in South Africa, replicating its success story and tremendous popularity in India."
Hyundai EXTER made one lakh sales in India within a year of its launch. The model offers Hy-CNG (Dual Cylinder CNG) and Knight Edition variants.
