The new Hyundai XCent 2017 is here. This isn’t an all new car, it is a facelift. But the Korean automaker has given it multiple changes that makes it look stylish and appealing. There are major cosmetic changes that makes it look so different. It doesn’t have any more bits that will it resemble the Hyundai Grand i10, instead it now looks a lot similar to the Verna and the Elantra family. This has changed the design and the appeal of this sedan completely.

As the XCent facelift 2017 is based on the same platform, there isn’t a change in its dimensions. Hence, the proportions are the same and so is the interior space. The XCent still offers the same Grand i10 interiors, which are black and beige. There are circular AC vents and this time a touchscreen infotainment system also. This is what makes the Hyundai look stylish. The other features on offer are somewhat the same. There is keyless entry, push start and stop button, dual airbags, ABS, rear AC vents, rear arm rest and even leather wrapped steering and gear lever.

Moving on to the engine, there is a 1.2-litre Kappa2 engine that produces about 83bhp of power and 115Nm of maximum torque. This is offered with a five-speed manual and four-speed automatic options. At the same time, there is an all new 1.2-litre CRDi diesel engine that churns about 85bhp of power and this comes with a five-speed manual only. This is an all new engine and has an improvement in its power and mileage both.

Diesel Engine 1.2-litre
Power 75bhp
Transmission 5-speed manual
Petrol Engine 1.2-litre
Power 82 bhp
Transmission 5-speed manual/ 4-speed auto

The new Hyundai XCent 2017 comes with a 1.2-litre petrol engine. This produces about 82bhp of power and comes with five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission options. This is the same engine like the earlier petrol XCent. There isn’t any change on it. So, we expect the performance to remain the same. This engine is good enough for daily city driving. On the highway it is good enough for cruising comfortably at around 120 km/h

The new 1.2-litre diesel also makes its way into this car. It was earlier launched with the new Grand i10. The best bit about this engine is its refinement. It is extremely quiet and it doesn’t make much noise either. This is one of the most highly refined diesel engines in the country. The power is good enough. There isn’t any kind of turbo lag and the engine has good amount of power and torque delivery too. This comes with a five-speed manual transmission. The gearbox is easy to shift and the clutch is extremely light too. This is what makes this engine such a good bit.

New Hyundai XCent 2017 Exterior

The New Hyundai XCent 2017 facelift gets an all new fascia. There is a new trapezoidal grille, which is now a trademark of Hyundais. This grille now has chrome slats that makes it look cool. At the same time, this makes it look bigger. The headlamp design is the same as that on the Grand i10. This doesn’t get any change. There are daytime running LEDs also in it. The new XCent looks more stylish and the fresh look is welcome. But in real life, it looks a bit off in proportions at the front. The new fascia and rear makes it look completely different. Hyundai has done a good job to differentiate the compact sedan from its hatchback sibling.

The side profile of the New Hyundai XCent 2017 is the same. It gets a new set of alloy wheels, though. The proportions are also the same as this is a cosmetic upgrade than an all new platform. The rear gets some additional chrome treatment to make it look more upmarket and tail lamp is now a two piece, wrap around one.
