The Hyundai Xcent successor has been spied yet again
in India. The latest set of images show the car's interior for the very first
time. The Hyundai Xcent successor appears to have a cabin nearly identical
to the Grand i10 Nios. Though the spy shots aren't clear enough, it is fairly
easy to notice the similar blacked-out dashboard, steering wheel and
turbine-like air vents. Its seats get plusher leather upholstery
and another major difference is the inclusion of the adjustable head restraints
for the rear bench. All the interior changes have been targeted to make the car
more premium and upmarket in comparison to its predecessor.
On the outside, the all-new Hyundai sub-4 metre
sedan is bound to receive a fresh front fascia inspired by that of the Hyundai
Grand i10 Nios. It will feature a contrasting honeycomb pattern on its
cascading grille against the base car. Its updated grille also may house the
boomerang-shaped LED DRLs added on to the edges.
The all-new Xcent will make use of sleeker and more
modern-looking, projector headlamps and fog lamps which will now sit in a fully
blacked-out triangular housing like on the hatchback sibling. Albeit, it will have
a similar design as its hatchback cousin, but its rear fascia will
understandably be changed with the addition of a boot. On the sides, it will
roll on much sassier looking machine-finished alloy wheels.
In terms of mechanicals, the Xcent successor will be
offered with the BS-VI 1.2L Kappa petrol engine and the BS-VI U2 1.2L diesel
engine (TBA). The former engine is rated to deliver 81 PS of maximum power and
114 Nm of peak torque, on the other hand, the oil-burner will likely deliver 74
PS and 190 Nm. Transmission duties will be handled by a 5-speed MT or a 5-speed
AMT.
