Unlike the existing model of Hyundai Xcent, the new one will have a more angular and suave appearance. To be more specific, the new features include

  • Projector headlamps with LED DRLs

  • Hyundai cascade grille typical of Hyundai

  • Novel alloy wheels

  • Longer rear doors

  • Updated bumpers

  • LED taillights

According to press release, the 2020 Hyundai Xcent is going to share the under-testing-phase platform with the new Grand i10 hatchback, codenamed as AI3.

All of these new features contribute to the premium appeal of the new Hyundai Xcent.

It might be too early to speculate the mechanical specifications of the new vehicle, but we can expect that it will have the same BSVI powertrains as the upcoming Grand i10, which will be launched next year. It has also been confirmed by the South Korean automaker that its forthcoming products will come with Smart Auto AMT unit which will be introduced with the 2018 Hyundai Santro. The AMT gearbox will take the place of the current torque converter gearbox on the Hyundan sedan carline.
