Hyundai Xcent.

Make : Hyundai

Model : Xcent

Hyundai's Xcent compact sedan maybe new on the block, being the carmaker's first offering in the segment here, but it's already generated a lot of interest. When we last checked with dealers, 11,000 bookings had already been registered and they claimed over a lakh enquiries for the new compact sedan.

The Hyundai Xcent sedan is an all-new car based on the Grand i10 hatchback. Its sub-four-metre size qualifies it as a small car and thus earns it the same low rate of excise duty as the hatchback – that means a smart compact sedan for not so much money.

The Xcent is available in both diesel and petrol avatars, with an automatic transmission option on the petrol car. But before you put your money down for the latest new Hyundai, read our road test to check if it's worth it.
