Hyundai Xcent [2014-2017] User Reviews

Exterior: Was best in class until Ford Aspire was launched.                                                         

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Interior is best in class, you get all the features that you might need, a rear AC vent, charging point and Chiller glove Box is the best you can get in this category, I might add.                                                                                              

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: You get only 70 BHP compared to its other rivals which give at least 90 but still I never felt a power lagg. Its smooth like butter and its so well insulated that you barely hear anything inside the room. Fuel economy is fairly good.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                         

Ride Quality & Handling: Best steering wheel in class.                                                              

 

Final Words: I've not driven Aspire yet, but this one is the best.

 

Areas of improvement: They need to sort the braking issue and the tyres seem a bit small.

 

 

EverythingNoyhing

Exterior Much better looking than others in this segment and has a really solid built quality.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The best looking interiors in the segment without a shadow of doubt. Slightly less spacious than the Zest though. Zest is indeed a bit wider but still 3 people can comfortably sit on the back seat in Xcent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Driven for 2000 kms, average 12-15kmpl in city with ac on, the engine is powerful enough for this segment, has a very smooth gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality and handling in the city. The overall better built quality of this car gives it much more stability on city roads as compared to others in the segment.

Final Word The most complete package in this segment. Good performance, well built, stylish looks, best in class interiors, loaded with features and a good fuel economy. I got a pretty good deal as well from the dealer (Hans Hyundai Moti Nagar) at the time of purchase. Got the first service done and was totally satisfied. If you are in the market for a new car and have budget of 7-8 lacs, I would surely recommend you the Xcent SX (O) 1.2. Simply because it is the best value for money in this segment and does not really have a weak area.

Areas of improvement NA.

no cabin noise, very comfortable, good driving experience, loaded with excellent featureslacks power when going uphill. Needs a downshift almost every time.

Exterior Very similar to Grand i10.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great interiors but less space in width at back

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is okk, pick up not too good, econmoy I am getting 13.5 in city and 16 in high way. Breaking system is extremely bad.

Final Words I loved everything about this car but there is big issue regarding break. Its break is so sharp then if I apply it suddenly it give big jerk specially to riders sitting in front. My wife missed hitting dashboard no of times and I have to be so careful while pressing break that I really don’t enjoy driving the car. I have complained it to service center’s but they don’t have any solution only excuse they gave is that it’s inbuilt (though I never noticed it when I test drive the car). I am fed up of this issue I might change my car to better brand/car.

Areas of improvement BREAKING SYSTEM FOR SURE.

Interiors, no cabin noice, smooth run, hell lot of featuresbad bad bad breaking system

Excellent car. Covered 40000 km in 1 year.

Average:-  with a/c in city 17-17.5,

without a/c  in city 20-20.5,

on highway- Without ac its 24-25,

With ac 20-21.

Enough space and leg room.a/c is quite chiiling in severe hot weather also. Complete comfortable in riding. Interiors are awesome. Not at all under power feeling is there while driving on highway too. Best car with such low price tag in this segment. Boot space is enough to load max baggages. Its really a value for money. Only problem is hyundai service station who dont do the servic of the car properly. I found service bit expensive as compare to honda and toyata. but cheaper than Maruti.

AC IS CHILLING, lot of boot space, comfort riding , steering very softbrake &poor service by hyundai dealers

I bought this car in June, 2016, and after driving this car for almost 1 year, 6000 km,

I can say that it is a nice car, It feels good from inside, space is good, 5 people can seat inside car for long journey,  AC is ok,

When you driving it in city, you will get 10-11 kmpl.

On highway it gives 14-15 kmpl.

Inbuild music system is good, 

I have noticed some people complain about breaking issue but i do not face such issue, Breaking works well for me. The gears of the car are really soft to operate.

 

Ride quality is good, you will not hear engine noise as it is quote silent car.

Only average is not good parameter for this car, so if you are looking for car for city usage, then you should not go with this one as 10-11 kmpl average is not good for pocket or else regarding other features, it is good to go.

 

Interior, spacePoor average

Exterior AVERAGE LOOK.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) NICE INTERIOR GOOD COMFORT AND SPACE.

Feature wise no company in India can beat Hyundai in each price segment. This is not perception based but factual. I had considered Swift Dzire & Honda Amaze as well but both lacked interior features. Xcent on the other hand is feature rich. The S version is the mid variant which has an integrated 2Din CD/Aux/USB audio system (1GB internal memory) with steering mounted controls. The system is also equipped with bluetooth for audio & phone calls. Reverse parking sensors & elctronic retractable & adjustable ORVM are very useful & convenient. The blue lit interior lights on the speedometer & audio system looks beautiful and vibrant. Besides, each door has a bottle holder over and above the two bottle holders that are placed near the gear knob. Ample of space for 5 people to sit comfortably, considering they are all lean or at the most moderate in size. The seats are comfortable, especially the rear seats. I personally found the hand room for the driver to be a bit uncomfortable. The buttons for power windows & ORVM on the driver door are awkwardly close to the seat which makes operation uncomfortable. Rear A/C vent, glove box vent & rear charging point are a luxury.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox VERY GOOD ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

Ride Quality & Handling AWASOME SMOOTH CAR.

Final Words VALUE FOR MONEY, COMPLETE FAMILY CAR.

Areas of improvement EXTERNAL LOOK AND CAR SHOULD BE WIDE. AWASOME SMOOTH RIDING AND SENSITIVE STEERING. LOADED GADGETS AND BALANCED SPECS. GREAT INTERIORS N COMFORT, GOOD ECONOMY ON FUEL TOO  GOOD CABIN GOOD INTERIOR ADEQUET MUSIC NOISLESS LOTS OF FEATURES THAN ANY OTHER GOOD FUEL ECONOMY.

INTERIOR, OVERALL PERFORMANCE, COMFORTEXTERNAL LOOK AND WIDTH OF CAR

Exterior Ok, there is scope of redesigning in front and back look especially in lights.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) O.K. Almost all latest features are provided except GPS system that can be provided in high end models.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good. Need less maintenance. CNG variants required for metro cities.

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable and O.K.

Final Words Overall vehicle is good for middle class people.

Areas of improvement Tail light design.

Exterior Look needs to be more attractive and should look like a standard sedan.

Music system must have remote system to faciltate other passengers in place of single control with driver.

If possible, leg room needs to be slightly increased for comfortable seating. More colour options can be explored.

Car is latched with almost all latest features except GPS system , If possible GPS system can be provided on cost basis especially on high models. Overall the car is value for money, CNG variant should be made available in metro cities.

Fuel Economy and ease of drivingTail lamp design and front design needs some more attractive look.

I have purchased new hyundai Xcent but is continuously making rounds of company workshop on account of major manufacturing defects starting from breaks which are too hard and bring car to dead stop even by small touch making it very dangerous to drive on road.already hit 4 times from back.despite accepting fault the company is not able to rectify despite calling 4 times in the workshop.AC is another area weather control is not at all effective and you feel lot uncomfortable sitting on the back.slightly better after major repair by company but still not at all satisfactory.Regarding seat belt at least 3 times repaired already.

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Breaks worst of a kind

Ride Quality & Handling O k.

good style interiorsbreaks.air conditioning,seat belts

Hi Am using SX 1.2 petrol version drove arounf 24k Km in less than 2 year

Exteriors Good shape and looks, howvere cant refrain from mentioning the most pathetic paint quality used even fingernails can put scratch marks on the car 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) One of the best music system, rear AC vents are much helpfull, powerfull AC and fully loaded stearing mountend controlls 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very much happy with the topend of the car however poor Pickup capacity when u cover a spead breaked if full seated you wll need to get to1 st gear. Fuel economy is bad although one cannot expect more that 10KPL however considering petrol cost its dirty.

Ride Quality & Handling Much refined ride quality, smooth handling however the low ground clearnce is big time pain, even when you are with total 4 ppl the bottom panel will tend to hit breakers.

Final Words A wonderfull car for a new be and best for small family if you have less distance drives.

Areas of improvement Hyundai should look at improving the body quality and use better quality paint which to say currently is pathetic.
