Based on spy shots, automotive illustrator Shoeb Kalania has created a
speculative rendering of the 2017 Hyundai Xcent to preview its updated rear
fascia.
The front-end is expected to have
changes similar to that of the 2017 Hyundai Grand i10, including new Cascading
grille and redesigned fog lamps with LED daytime running light strips, while
the changes to the profile will include new design alloy wheel/wheel cover.
At the rear, the most notable change will be the
wraparound tail lamps that give the car the styling of a proper sedan. The 2017
Hyundai Xcent will feature a redesigned boot lid with chrome applique and
spoiler, and a revised rear bumper. Inside, the car would gain a
7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and
MirrorLink for smartphone integration, and voice control with a dedicated
button for that function on the steering wheel.
The Hyundai Xcent petrol would continue being
powered by the current model’s 1.2-litre Kappa four-cylinder engine, while the
Hyundai Xcent diesel will get a new engine, the 2017 Hyundai Grand i10‘s
1.2-litre U2 CRDi three-cylinder unit that produces 75 PS at 4,000 rpm and 19.4
kgm of torque.
