The 2017 Hyundai Xcent facelift enters a segment where change is the need of the hour as new entrants are constantly innovating may it be Volkswagen, with the feature-packed Ameo, or Tata with the Tigor; each one of them stands out, with unique cars, in a segment, where a few more entrants expected this year. The once booming subcompact sedan segment finds itself battling against some of the premium hatchbacks as also sedans and that’s why we see a bid across the board, to revive the subcompact sedan segment in India; and well, we’ve driven the latest in the segment, the facelift Hyundai. 2017 Hyundai Xcent facelift gets major cosmetic and styling updates
Though Hyundai calls it a facelift, it’s not JUST a facelift, rather a proper update and we’ve already told you quite a lot about it. There’s a lot that’s new on the Xcent - both inside and outside. It gets a new front bumper, new fog lamp housings, LED DRLs, redesigned headlamps and new wrap around tail lamps. The shape of the bonnet has been refined and now looks eloquent. But, it is that front grille that puts a smile on your face. Hyundai’s taking the top to bottom approach, with its signature design of the front grille, and the Xcent is not left behind.
