Gearbox Type: 5-Speed Manual / AMT
Hyundai offers the Exter with two transmission choices: a light-shifting 5-speed manual and a 'Smart Auto' AMT (Automated Manual Transmission). The AMT version is particularly notable for featuring paddle shifters, a first-in-segment feature that allows for manual intervention during gear changes.
Drive Type: FWD
The vehicle utilizes a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) layout. This configuration is standard for the segment as it maximizes interior cabin space and provides better fuel efficiency by reducing the weight and complexity of the drivetrain.
Clutch Type: Single Plate Dry Clutch
Both the manual and AMT variants utilize a single plate dry clutch system. In the manual, it is operated via a hydraulic slave cylinder for a light pedal feel, while in the AMT, an electronic actuator manages the engagement and disengagement.
