The upcoming sub-4-metre compact sedan will see new interiors and exterior design. It borrows the features from its sibling Grand i10 Nios but will pack additional ones too so it sticks exclusively to the new-gen Xcent.
South Korean manufacturers, Hyundai has stocked up the year 2019 with new launches like the Kona EV, Nios, Venue and with the facelift of the current cars like Tucson, Elantra and more. The new addition was the Grand i10 Nios and we bring you the spy shots of its successor, 2020 Hyundai Xcent which is a sedan version of the hatchback.
The 2020 Hyundai Xcent Nios takes design inspiration from the Grand i10 Nios. The boomerang DRLs which are neatly laid out in the honeycomb grille makes the hatchback interesting and the Xcent will carry on with the same.
Also on the news is that with the launch of the new Xcent, the older model will be discontinued. However, some reports also suggest that the previous generation will stick for the cab aggregators.
