The Hyundai Xcent will add to the company’s arsenal come March, facing off the likes of the Honda Amaze and the Maruti Suzuki DZire and later in 2014, Ford’s new compact sedan. The Xcent is based on the Grand i10 hatchback. Swept back headlamps get the smoked treatment while the wrap-around tail lamps are identical. The diamond cut alloy wheels and chrome door handles add to the elegant touch. The spoiler lip at the rear adds to the aesthetic value.
