Hyundai Xcent


The Hyundai Xcent is a subcompact car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. Based on the Hyundai Grand i10, the Xcent is a sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor India Limited in Chennai.
The Xcent was launched on March 12, 2014 to compete with the Tata Zest, Honda Amaze and the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire. It is also sold in Mexico as the Hyundai Grand i10 Sedan.

Marketing

In September 2014, Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan has signed with Hyundai Motors India to be the brand ambassador for the Xcent.

Discontinuation

In June 2019, Hyundai Motor India has confirmed that the production of the Xcent would be stopped permanently by 2020 in India, the reason being that the Xcent nameplate was being used for taxi purposes. The Xcent would be replaced by the Hyundai Aura in 2020. The Xcent would be sold alongside the Aura as a fleet sales only.
