HMIL will put focus on the 2017 Hyundai Xcent. The facelifted model was recently spied testing in Chennai by team-BHP forum member srinath34.

The Hyundai Xcent will get new horizontal wraparound tail lamps, a new boot lid with chrome applique and spoiler, and new design bumper at the rear. The front-end should incorporate changes from the facelifted Hyundai Grand i10, including a new upper grille and lower grille, and modified bumper with integrated daytime running lights beside fog lamps. New design alloy wheel/wheel cover may be the only change on the sides.

Inside, the biggest change would be the old multimedia system being swapped with a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system which offers smartphone connectivity with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirror Link, as well as voice recognition with a dedicated voice recognition button on the steering wheel. Basic trim levels may have to do with a 5.0-inch colour touchscreen audio system, however.

The 2017 Hyundai Xcent would retain the current model‘s 1.2-litre Kappa four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 83 PS at 6,000 rpm and 11.6 kgm of torque at 4,000 rpm. For those preferring the diesel model, Hyundai will offer the new 1.2-litre U2 CRDi three-cylinder diesel engine that develops 75 PS at 4,000 rpm and 19.4 kgm of torque at 1,750-2,250 rpm on the Grand i10.

The facelifted Hyundai Xcent will launch in the coming months.
