Hyundai hands Cargo commercial overalls to Exter
Exter Cargo replaces the Venue as Hyundai's new flagship passenger vehicle-based commercial offering.
Hyundai has introduced a commercial version of its Exter hatchback, now marketed as the Cargo, to complement its passenger vehicle-based line-up. The Cargo maintains the entry-level Premium grade as its base, with no external changes apart from the Cargo badge on its rear. Inside, the Cargo shares the same specification level as the standard Exter Premium, including features like auto headlamps, cloth seats, multi-function steering wheel, air-conditioning, electric windows, an adjustable driver's seat, a digital instrument cluster, keyless entry, an eight-inch infotainment display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and six airbags.
The powertrain remains unchanged, with the normally aspirated 1.2-litre petrol engine generating 61kW/114Nm, which powers the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. The Cargo distinguishes itself from the standard Premium variant by lacking rear seats, replaced instead by a flat floor with tie-down hooks. A steel mesh partition separates the cabin from the cargo area, and steel protection bars are added behind the side windows for added safety.
The Cargo offers a payload capacity of 450 kg and a cargo volume of 1,275 litres. Pricing for the Cargo starts at R284,500, which includes a seven-year/200,000km warranty and a two-year/30,000km service plan. The Exter 1.2 Premium AMT model is priced at R294,900, while the Exter 1.2 Cargo model starts at R284,500, and the Exter 1.2 Executive model is priced at R289,900.
