As far as aesthetic changes are concerned, the updated Xcent gets Hyundai's new cascading grille, which made its debut on the Grand i10 facelift globally. In the Xcent, the grille features horizontal chrome slats, whereas the hatch comes with a mesh pattern. The Xcent gets a redesigned front bumper inspired from the upcoming <a href="https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Hyundai/Hyundai_Verna" target="_blank">Verna</a>. It also features daytime running LEDs placed in the fog lamp housing. Instead of the diamond-cut alloy wheels of the pre-facelift model, the Xcent facelift gets silver-finished alloys. At the rear, it features split wraparound tail lamps, with a chrome strip adjoining them, and a new redesigned dual-tone rear bumper as well. The updated Xcent also gets a shark-fin antenna like the Verna and the Honda <a href="https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Honda/Honda_City" target="_blank">City</a>.
In terms of features, the Xcent facelift gets a 7.0-inch infotainment system that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with Mirror Link connectivity. It also receive Hyundai&rsquo;s Alternator Management System (AMS) tech, which charges the battery only during deceleration or when the engine has power to spare, saving fuel in the process. As for safety, dual-front airbags are now standard. The pre-facelift model offered driver airbag along with ABS as standard fitment.
Hyundai has also removed a lot of features in the new Xcent to make sure it remains a value for money car like earlier. The new base E variant of the new Xcent misses a lot features like full-wheel covers, blacked-out B-pillars, passenger-side vanity mirror, a digital clock, rear-seat armrest, a day/night IRVM and central locking as compared to the to the pre-facelift base variant. Also, while the height-adjustable driver seat has been removed from the S variant, the SX variant misses out on the automatic electrochromatic IRVM. Also, the SX (O) variant doesn&rsquo;t get the ioniser for the climate control. While the new base variant, E is cheaper now, other variants see a marginal bump of around Rs 10000 to Rs 30000. Hyundai will also keep selling the outgoing Xcent but it will be limited only for commercial purposes.
