Carries over styling changes from the Euro-spec i10.

IAB's Shoeb R Kalania has created a rendering of the 2017 Hyundai Xcent (facelift), which features cosmetic changes seen in the Euro-spec Hyundai i10. So far, the Hyundai Grand i10 facelift has only been spotted testing on Indian roads.

2017 Hyundai Xcent (facelift) - Rendering — The Hyundai Xcent offers the same engine options as the Grand i10.

The Xcent's front fascia gets a redesigned grille with a new mesh pattern, LED DRLs integrated into the headlamp and boomerang-shaped foglamp enclosures. The black plastic side cladding has undergone a slight redesign, while the rear-end could feature minor changes.

Inside, changes are expected to be minimal. The top-end Xcent could be offered with a touchscreen display as well as Apple Carplay and Android Auto support, new seat fabric and color combination.
