A 1.2-litre petrol engine will be powering the compact sedan. This shall churn close to 81bhp and 112Nm of peak torque. This mill will be offered with a five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission. The same 1.1-litre diesel will continue on the XCent Prime.

Hyundai XCent Prime Mileage

Mileage is one of the most important aspects and we reckon the XCent Prime petrol should return about 12 km/l in the city and about 16 km/l on the highway. On the other hand, the diesel engine will be more efficient as it shall have an efficiency close to 15 km/l in the city and about 19 km/l on the highway.
