Ahead of its scheduled official launch on April 20, the 2017 Hyundai Xcent facelift's feature list has been leaked. The design changes made to the facelifted model have already been revealed earlier through spy shots.

The feature list reveals that the 2017 Xcent will be available with 5 variants - E, E+, S, SX and SX(O). The entry-level Base trim has been renamed as the E, while a new variant named E+ has been added just above it. Hyundai has made some significant alterations in the variant-wise feature distribution of the Xcent facelift.

Dual airbags and alternator management system (AMS) are now standard across the variant line-up. However, anti-lock braking system (ABS) has been removed from the first three variants as it is now only available in SX and SX(O) variants. Additionally, the E variant will now only get hub caps for its steel wheels, while the pre-facelift Base variant used to come with full wheel covers.

The new E+ trim adds body-coloured door handles & ORVMs, 2-DIN music system with 4 speakers, Bluetooth, rear AC vents, rear armrest, rear power windows, electrically adjustable ORVMs and front fog lamps to the E's feature list. The S trim loses features like 1 GB flash memory in the infotainment system and driver seat height adjustment while gaining LED DRLs and mobile phone dock for the automatic variants.

The SX and SX(O) trims now get a new 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This is the same unit that is being offered with the new Grand i10 facelift. Meanwhile, the electro-chromo Mirror (ECM) and cluster ioniser from the automatic climate control system have been removed.

The 2017 Hyundai Xcent is expected to carry forward the same 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that was available in the previous models. However, the diesel variants will get a slightly upsized, 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder unit. The compact sedan will continue to compete against the likes of the Maruti Dzire, Honda Amaze and Ford Aspire.
