The Xcent facelift features a slightly different front profile, which differentiates it from that of the 2017 Grand i10.
The 2017 Hyundai Xcent has been spied ahead of it launch on April 20. The mid-cycle update of the Xcent follows that of its donor car, the Grand i10 (launched in February 2017). Like before, the Xcent facelift will go up against the Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire, Honda Amaze, Tata Zest (Tata Tigor as well), Ford Figo Aspire and the Volkswagen Ameo.
The Xcent, which replaced the Accent sedan in the country, made its global debut at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo in February and was subsequently launched in March. Now, let's find out what Hyundai has done with the 2017 Hyundai Xcent aesthetically.
The front profile of the 2017 Hyundai Xcent gets Hyundai’s new Cascading grille, which is also present on the 2017 Grand i10, Elantra and the upcoming Hyundai Verna. The grille in the updated Xcent is slightly wider and protrudes as opposed to the Grand i10's, and it also gets slats instead of mesh pattern in the latter. The redesigned bumper looks very much like the upcoming Verna and imparts a wider appearance to the compact sedan. Like the 2017 Grand i10, the Xcent also receives daytime running LEDs, placed in the fog lamp housing.
The rear profile of the 2017 Xcent has also been updated thoroughly. To begin with, the updated compact sedan gets a shark-fin antenna, new split wrap-around tail lamps, which puts it in line with other sedans from Hyundai. It also gets a redesigned rear dual-tone bumper and a new chrome strip, which is flanked by the tail lamps.
Additional Goodies
Though the updated compact sedan carries over most of the features from the outgoing model, there are a few additional ones as well. Let’s take a look.
- As expected, the Grand i10's 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system is offered with the 2017 Xcent, which comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support along with Mirror Link connectivity. Further, it also receives a mobile docking station, but is only offered with the petrol automatic variant
- Hyundai's Alternator Management System (AMS) has been made standard in the updated Xcent. The AMS tech charges the battery only during deceleration or when the engine has power to spare, saving fuel in the process
- In terms of safety, the 2017 Xcent will get dual front airbags as standard across its variant lineup. To put things into perspective, the outgoing model comes with a driver airbag along with ABS as standard
Besides these updates, it will also get a brand new 1.2-litre diesel engine, which was introduced in the Grand i10 facelift.
