It is still only adjustable for rake, by the way. The new Xcent uses the same large multifunctional steering as well with the only addition being a voice activation button. It retains its large cooled glovebox too. The dash, the vents, the various buttons, and even the stowage spaces remain unchanged. Not much has changed on the inside of the 2017 Hyundai Xcent. Here’s a more in-depth look at the new car. We have sampled this diesel unit in the Grand i10 and we quite liked it. The new car gets the new 1.2-litre diesel engine too. The end result is a pleasant one with the new Xcent coming across as more presentable now, particularly from the rear. Hyundai hasn’t stopped there, however, and has completely redesigned the rear bumper as well as the boot lid. The fog lamps are new and alongside it, sit the new LED DRLs, which only come on when you shift into gear.Īt the rear, longer units that resemble the ones on the Toyota Camry replace the small tail lamps. The bumper design too, especially around the fog lamp area is now more aggressive. At the front, while the headlamps remain the same, a complete change in the bumper design means the tiny upper grille disappears but the lower grille gets larger and is now adorned with chrome. To address this Hyundai has now launched the 2017 edition of the Xcent complete with revised front and rear end styling and a few additional features. Now, one might argue that the Innova and the Dzire remain unaffected by this ‘yellow plate’ crisis, but then, the Xcent just isn’t as strong a brand as the latter two. This has clearly affected the desirability aspect of the compact sedan among private car buyers. The second problem, which is a more recent one, is the high off-take for the car in the taxi segment. The bigger issue with the Xcent has been its styling not only did it look identical to its hatch sibling, the Grand i10, from the front, it also had an uninspiring looking rear end. But, while the latter sells over 15,000 units a month on an average, the Hyundai doesn’t even manage to ship 3,000. The Xcent is Hyundai’s answer to the hot selling Maruti Suzuki Dzire.
