| ![]() Mod Note: Our Aura Report has been taken live at this link (Hyundai Aura : Official Review). Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks! According to a media report, Hyundai is currently working on the second generation Xcent. The compact sedan is expected to be launched sometime in 2020. ![]() The new Xcent will be based on the next-gen Grand i10 which is currently under development. The new model is rumoured to be wider and roomier than its predecessor with more focus on rear passenger comfort. At present, the Xcent comes with a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine which produces 82 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 114 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. It is available with a choice of a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder diesel unit puts out 74 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 190 Nm @ 1,750 - 2,250 and comes paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The second generation Xcent could be offered with an automated manual transmission (AMT). Source: Autocar India Link to Team-BHP News Last edited by GTO : 19th May 2020 at 09:58. |

| ![]() Great Find. From the looks of it, it appears that they will continue to have an odd shaped car. In this case the new XCent seems too tall for a sedan. They have simply added a boot to the new I10 and not reskinned the car like what Honda did with the Amaze. Adding a boot to a tall car results in a odd ball shape and this has been the main shortcoming of the current Xcent. |

| ![]() Honestly, I like what I am seeing, this will end up looking better than the Dzire hopefully. Lets see how they style the boot area this time. From the spy shot it looks like the number plate will move on the bumper and the boot will get a cleaner look. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Contrary to the popular opinions, I've always found the Xcent's design to be understated, clean and balanced compared to its peers. The facelift doesn't seem to deviate from current design, which is a good thing. For Hyundai though, I feel they've mass produced enough family oriented vehicles and it is time they look at the enthusiasts as well. How about plonking the 1.0 GDI with the DCT on an a sportier Xcent? Should be a fresh alternative to the ageing GT TSi. |

| ![]() Looks like the front seats will have adjustable headrests as the shape looks rectangular. Or is that an optical illusion? Last edited by gopalnt : 24th June 2019 at 13:16. Reason: Spelling Mistake corrected |

| ![]() With all the design chops that Hyundai have at their disposal, I expected them to design a compact sedan from the ground up and shake up the segment like they have attempted with the Venue with decent success. Continuing with the "add a boot on the hatchback" strategy is just lazy in my opinion. If I am not mistaken its been more than 4 years now since they first released the Xcent. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Is this a new design or a facelift? Looks very similar to me, except the front grille portion. Hopefully, the final design is a lot better than the current generation - it is looking hopefully outdated in front of modern competition like the DZire now. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Next-gen Hyundai compact sedan spied in India. Will most likely drop the Xcent name. The current Xcent is likely to be retained in select variants for cab operators. ![]() ![]() Quote:

| ![]() This could be Hyundai Grand i10 Nios based sedan which might be placed above current gen Xcent, as per the news. Autocar: Next-gen Hyundai compact sedan spied in India I think current gen Xcent may get discontinued except for fleet drivers, that way it will not eat up sale of the newly launched car Front looks very much similar to upcoming Grand i10 Nios although the car in the pictures is camouflaged, so it's just an assumption for now |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Well, I have no doubts here. The Xcent has already had its facelift and is nearing the end of its life. The spotted mule clearly has the same DRL position as the upcoming Grand i10 Nios, and the rear of the car is brand new as well with LED tail lamps and the number plate being moved to the bumper. I am actually very confused on why we actually have a poll here ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Isn't the Nios based sedan and Xcent facelift supposed to be the same car since the Nios is the next gen Grand i10? Or am I missing out something here? |

| ![]() Here's what the quoted Autocar article says: Quote:
Did anyone notice that in the first few photos, the car seems to have a tall notchback stance whereas it appears to be quite long and well proportioned in the third picture? ![]() Going by the white SUV on the top left, it seems that the third picture (in daylight) is taken somewhere outside of India. The test car is probably longer than 4 metre in that case. Last edited by self_driven : 11th August 2019 at 00:26. | |
