On June 11, Hyundai Motor Company officially launched The New XCIENT, a next-generation heavy-duty truck that marks a significant leap forward in product competitiveness. With a completely revamped design and cutting-edge safety and convenience features, The New XCIENT stands as Hyundai’s most advanced commercial vehicle to date.
A New Era for Hyundai’s Heavy-Duty Trucks
Released six years after the XCIENT Pro debuted in 2019, The New XCIENT embodies a significant upgrade in both aesthetics and technology.

Adding to its sophisticated exterior, The New XCIENT incorporates block-shaped full LED headlamps, a newly designed Hyundai emblem made from sleek, flat aluminum, and a modern roof visor—all contributing to a more streamlined and contemporary silhouette.
Enhanced Aerodynamics and Visibility
Aerodynamic performance sees a major improvement with digital side mirrors, which not only reduce drag but also provide excellent visibility in low-light or rainy conditions. These sleek mirror systems reflect Hyundai’s commitment to integrating functional design with cutting-edge driving assistance technologies.
Futuristic Cabin with Unified Infotainment
Inside, The New XCIENT boasts a 12.3-inch digital cluster and an advanced ccNC infotainment system, offering drivers seamless access to vehicle information and multimedia content.
