The Hyundai Xcent is a subcompact sedan by Hyundai Motor Company. Based on the Hyundai Grand i10, the Xcent is manufactured by Hyundai Motor India Limited in Chennai.^[1][2] It made its debut on February 4, 2014, three days ahead of its world premiere at the Auto Expo 2014.^[3]

Like the Grand i10, the Xcent will be available with two engine options:

• 1.1 liter three-cylinder U2 CRDi diesel, ^[4] rated at 72 ps at 4000 rpm and 180.4 nm torque between 1750 and 2500 rpm with a mileage of 24.4 km/l. Hyundai claims to have improved the turbocharger to achieve enhanced performance, with 13% more torque and better fuel economy.^[5]
• 1.2 liter four-cylinder petrol, rated at 83 ps at 6000 rpm and 111.8 nm torque with a claimed fuel efficiency of 19.1 km/l.^[5]

The Xcent is available in three trims: Base, S, and SX. Unlike the Grand i10, the S and SX model comes with power folding mirrors.^[5]

The Xcent was launched on March 12, 2014 to replace the second generation Accent in India and compete with the Tata Zest, Honda Amaze and the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire.^[2][6] It is also sold in Mexico as the Hyundai Grand i10 Sedan.^[7]

Marketing
