Find below the top safety features of the Hyundai Exter, and why it is a smart choice for Indian roads.

1. Six Airbags as Standard

The Hyundai Exter is equipped with six airbags as standard across all variants. 

Included Airbags:

• Dual front airbags
• Side airbags (front seats)
• Curtain airbags (full-length)

Many cars in this segment only offer 2 airbags in lower trims. With Hyundai Exter, every occupant gets better crash protection, regardless of the variant.

2. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

The Exter comes equipped with ESC, which helps maintain control during slippery road conditions or emergency maneuvers.

How ESC Works:

• Detects loss of control or skidding
• Automatically applies brakes to individual wheels
• Helps bring the car back on track

Whether you’re navigating monsoon-drenched roads in Delhi or cornering on a hilly road, ESC helps keep you and your passengers safe.

3. Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)

Paired with ESC, Vehicle Stability Management ensures even greater driving confidence.

Benefits of VSM:

• Maintains directional stability under hard braking or acceleration
• Works especially well when driving on uneven surfaces or rough terrain

Potholes, speed bumps, and rough patches are common on Delhi roads. VSM helps maintain control in such situations, keeping passengers safe and secure.

4. Hill Start Assist Control (HAC)

This feature prevents the car from rolling backward when you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator on a slope.

When It’s Most Useful:

• Parking ramps
• Sloped driveways
• Hilly terrains

It reduces driver stress, prevents rollback accidents, and is a must-have in hilly terrains.

5. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with EBD

No safety list is complete without ABS and EBD.

Key Functions:

• ABS prevents the wheels from locking during sudden braking
• EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) ensures braking power is distributed evenly

ABS + EBD will help you stay in control during emergencies on the road without skidding.

6. Rear Parking Camera with Dynamic Guidelines

Parking in crowded areas like Delhi’s congested markets or tight apartment spaces can be challenging. The Hyundai Exter eases this task with:

Parking Assist Features:

• Rear parking camera
• Dynamic guidelines that move with the steering wheel
• Rear parking sensors

It results in fewer chances of accidental scratches or bumps while parking.

7. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Hyundai Exter offers Highline TPMS in higher variants.

What TPMS Does:

• Continuously monitors the tyre pressure
• Alerts you if any tyre is underinflated or punctured

Driving with underinflated tyres can cause poor handling, higher fuel consumption, and even tyre bursts. TPMS is a life-saving feature during long trips, alerting you when necessary.

8. ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors

Hyundai has included ISOFIX mounts in the Exter to ensure that families can install child seats safely and securely.

ISOFIX Benefits:

• Makes child seat installation easier and safer
• Reduces the risk of seat movement during an accident

The Hyundai Exter is a safer choice for young parents or family buyers.

9. Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)

This smart safety feature alerts drivers behind you during sudden braking by flashing the hazard lights automatically.

When It Activates:

• During panic braking or emergency stops

In high-speed zones like expressways or the Ring Road, ESS can help prevent rear-end collisions.

10. Burglar Alarm and Speed-Sensing Door Locks

Security is also a form of safety, and Hyundai doesn’t ignore that.

Security Add-ons:

• Speed-sensing auto door lock: Automatically locks doors once the car is in motion
• Burglar alarm: Sounds when unauthorized access is detected

These features add a layer of protection for car owners.

11. High-Strength Steel Construction

The Hyundai Exter uses Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and Hot Stamping components for structural integrity.

Benefits of Strong Body Structure:

• Better impact absorption during collisions
• Greater cabin protection
• Enhanced rollover resistance

The Exter is engineered for safety from the inside out.

12. Day & Night IRVM (Inside Rear View Mirror)

It might seem like a small feature, but the day-night IRVM reduces glare from vehicles behind you during night driving.

Why It’s Useful:

• Prevents blinding by headlights from cars behind
• Improves visibility at night

The feature is perfect for night-time driving on Delhi’s busy roads and highways.

13. Cornering Lamps

The Exter’s headlamp setup includes cornering lamps that light up the direction you are turning toward.

Safety Benefits:

• Increases visibility on curves or turns
• Useful on dimly lit roads or during bad weather

This feature can help spot unexpected obstacles or pedestrians during sharp turns or U-turns.

14. Dashcam with Dual Camera (Segment-First Feature)

Higher trims of Exter come with a factory-fitted dashcam that has:

• Front and rear recording
• Time-lapse and event recording
• Full HD quality

How It Enhances Safety:

• Provides video evidence in case of accidents
• Useful for insurance claims and legal protection

A built-in dashcam also discourages rash driving by others near your vehicle.

15. Headlamp Escort Function

This feature keeps the headlamps on for a few seconds after locking the car, so you can safely walk to your door or home gate in the dark.

Why It’s Thoughtful:

• Increases safety in poorly lit parking lots
• A small touch that reflects Hyundai’s attention to user comfort
