The Hyundai Exter has made a great start in the Indian market, securing more than 50,000 bookings since the process began in May 2023, with this milestone achieved by early August. However, with this impressive demand, the delivery timeline of this compact SUV has been affected. Having said that, the Hyundai Exter is currently commanding a waiting period of up to eight months, depending on the city and variant.
- According to reports, the Hyundai Exter has an average waiting period of up to 4 months in most metropolitan areas. However, Bengaluru has the highest waiting timeline of up to 8 months.
- It is worth noting that the waiting period might vary depending on the location, engine and colour option.
