Hyundai has reportedly decided to pull the plug on its Xcent Prime compact sedan. According to sources, the production of the Hyundai Xcent Prime has been stopped with immediate effect while the dealers have been requested not to take any more orders for the vehicle. The sub-4-metre sedan was being offered in the fleet segment for many years up till now. The brand’s discontinuation of the Xcent comes sudden.
The SUV wave that has been flowing in the Indian auto industry in recent years seems to have grown pretty strong, sidelining the sedan segment over time. However, hatchbacks and sub-compact sedans are still very popular in the fleet segment. Auto giants like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Hyundai dominate this space with car models like Baleno, Altroz, WagonR, Hyundai i20 and more.
