The Hyundai Xcent successor has been spied in India
for the first time. It will likely be launched in the country in early 2020. The Hyundai Xcent successor will
be a three-box version of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios. The spy shots seen here
suggest that it will have a front-end very similar to that of this hatchback.
Its main differentiator at the front will be the honeycomb pattern of the
Cascading grille.
On the sides, the all-new sedan’s greenhouse will be
in the same sportier shape as that of the hatchback, although some might find
the old sedan’s simplistic avatar better-suited because of the restricted
dimensions. At the rear, there will be a newly designed boot lid in a cleaner
form, thanks to the license plate indentation having been repositioned to the
bumper. The new combination lamps will be edgier and include LED tail lights
reminiscent of the Audi A4.
The interior design and equipment of the Hyundai
Xcent successor will be mostly the same as that of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.
There may be some additional features inside the sedan, though, such as a rear
armrest for instance. The colour-coding may also be different, more on the
elegant side.
Hyundai will sell the Xcent successor with the BS-VI
1.2L Kappa petrol engine and the BS-VI U2 1.2L diesel engine of the Grand i10
Nios. Reportedly, the petrol engine and the diesel engine will come in the
tuning of 81 BHP/114 Nm and 74 BHP/190 Nm. Transmission choices will be 5-speed
manual and 5-speed automated manual. The latter will be available even with the
diesel engine.
The Hyundai Xcent will continue being produced
alongside its successor. However, it will be produced only for commercial sales
then.
