As we have been saying, the new #hyundaixcent compact sedan is basically a ‘booted’ variant of the Grand i10,which is the latest generation of the i10 hatchback. The new Xcent becomes a direct rival to the high selling Maruti Dzire and the well-received Honda Amaze, which are basically compact sedan variants of the Swift and Amaze respectively. The new Hyundai Xcent compact sedan measures little less than four metres in length, which means it benefits from excise duty cuts being offered by Indian Government. Ultimately, thanks to the competitive price tag, it is the buyer of these sedans that benefit from competitive pricing.

Visually, except for the rear section, the new Xcent’s exterior design closely resemblance that of the hatchback sibling and the two cars share many body panels between them. On the inside too, the new Xcent is very similar to the Grand i10 and benefits of quality plastics and long features list.
