Exter in Chennai: questions buyers ask
Does a Chennai Exter bill include the ₹2,250 road safety tax?
Yes. It is Tamil Nadu's one-time road safety tax, charged on every new car besides the road tax itself, and it is built into the Exter prices on this page.
Will the Exter cope with Chennai's monsoon flooding?
Its 185 mm ground clearance handles normal waterlogging. Areas such as Velachery flood too deep for any small car, so park on higher ground when warnings are out.
Does Tamil Nadu charge extra for a loan on the Exter?
Yes, ₹800 to record the lender on the registration certificate, paid once. Our figures are for a cash purchase.
Does the Exter's sunroof heat the cabin?
A glass roof lets in more sun when parked outdoors. The Exter HX6 and above pair it with automatic climate control, which cools the cabin faster.
Is the Exter HX2 worth buying?
Only as a basic city car. It has six airbags and stability control but no touchscreen, rear camera or rear AC vents. The Exter HX3 adds the screen and camera for ₹61,745 more on-road.
