Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.46L to both showrooms and you come out with the Exter HX 10 at ₹9.46L or the Urban Cruiser Taisor S+ at ₹9.29L, the Urban Cruiser Taisor leaving ₹0.17L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.17L more for the Exter HX 10: tyre pressure monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call) and single-pane sunroof. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (8" against 7") and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Exter HX 10: rear parking camera, cruise control, auto-folding wing mirrors and height-adjustable driver seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Exter HX 10, you give up headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) and 60:40 split rear seat, which the Urban Cruiser Taisor S+ keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor S+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.17L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Exter HX 10 if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
