2017 Hyundai Xcent (render)


IAB’s Shoeb R Kalania has created a rendering of the 2017 Hyundai Xcent (facelift), which features cosmetic changes seen in the Euro-spec Hyundai i10.

The Xcent’s front fascia gets a redesigned grille with a new mesh pattern, LED DRLs integrated into the headlamp and boomerang-shaped foglamp enclosures. The black plastic side cladding has undergone a slight redesign, while the rear-end could feature minor changes.

Inside, there are no major changes. The top-end Xcent could be offered with a touchscreen display as well as Apple Carplay and Android Auto support, new seat fabric and color combination.

Its engine lineup is likely to retain the 1.2L four-cylinder petrol and 1.1L three-cylinder diesel engines. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual for both variants, while a 4-speed automatic is exclusive to the 1.2 petrol. Expect the Xcent facelift to launch by mid-2017.
