What the HX 3 CNG MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HX 3 CNG MT comes to ₹7,81,690 on the road in Itanagar and ₹8,76,113 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹94,423 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹7.45L ex-showroom Delhi this is the sixth of 15 Exter variants by price, ₹17,000 above the HX 4 Petrol MT. The same HX 3 kit starts at ₹1.15L less as the HX 3 Petrol MT; the extra here buys the CNG with the 5-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest HX 4 actually costs ₹17,000 less than this variant and buys tyre pressure monitor and wheel size (15" against 14") among 3 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the CNG with the 5-speed manual, the HX 4 starts at ₹8.28L.

Hyundai Exter HX 3: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Hyundai Exter HX 3 CNG MT?
- ₹7.45L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 6th of 15 by price, ₹17,000 above the HX 4 Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Hyundai Exter HX 3 CNG MT?
- Expect ₹7,81,690 in Itanagar and ₹8,76,113 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹94,423 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Hyundai Exter HX 3 CNG MT have?
- The CNG, 69 PS, with the 5-speed manual.
- What features does the Hyundai Exter HX 3 CNG MT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Rear parking camera, Touchscreen (8"), Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Speakers (4), Airbags (6) and Electronic stability control.
- What does the Hyundai Exter HX 3 CNG MT miss out on?
- The HX 4 above it adds tyre pressure monitor, wheel size (15" against 14") and rear USB-C ports, for ₹17,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the HX 4 though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹83,000 more.
- Is the HX 3 the right Exter to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Hyundai Exter which-variant page. The short version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
