Exterior

Decent exteriors and boot space

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 excellent features and very good space inside & boot

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 very very poor fuel ecomony..the auto model is giving just 5-6km in the city even after 1st service. On highway, beore 1st service it has given just 9km.. not tried high way after 1st service but i am sure it won't go beyond 9 or 10. Hyundai promised around 17km.. after talking to showroom folks at Hyderabad, Talwar Hyundai, if i don;t get this problem fixed, i am planning to appraoch consumer court. i am planning to sell it off (it want just 3000km in 4 months) and buy other company car..

Ride Quality & Handling

 ride quality is good but such a poor mileage is killing my interest to drive this car.. even benz gives better mileage

Final Words

Hyundai automatic Xcent is pathetic in mileage. i don;t understand how there can be such a deviation between what Hyundai promised vs reality.

hyundai customer service is also very casual and irresponsible...Very bad experience at Safdurjung Hyundai , Udyog vihar phase 4 , gurgaon, Mr. Naveen Yadav is really very careless

bad ac , bad pick up , bad economy .....dont buy thid car..i was a fool to ignore honda amazee

1) spaciousBAD AC , BAD PICKUP , BAD ECONOMY

Exterior Test drove the vehicle  on 26.05.2014 at Popular Motors, Trivandrum.Good compared to Swift Dzire and Honda Amaze , little smaller than Swift Dzire but bigger than Honda Amaze, Front fluidic design is good looking, very appealing side profile, but rear styling is not good enough. Turn indicators on ORVM is added toi its good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best in class  compared to Swift Dzire and Honda Amaze , good quality plastic looks great, especially the dash board.The rear A/C vent does a good job as well. The rear armrest is very comfortable for elderly.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smoother VTVT engine one can feel when driving , very good suspension. neatly absorbs small potholes.

Ride Quality & Handling We cannot feel we drive a Sedan , we feel only drving a hatchback . We cannot feel if there is a boot integrated

Final Words Good. fits your pocket

Areas of improvement Little bit narrower, A/C not comfortable , ugly looking rear etc.

Look and Style , Comfort, Smooth Engine And Butter smooth Gear shiftLittle bit narrow, rear styling and A/C , limited colours ,etc

1. Purchased 2014, August at Advait Hyundai, BG road. Experience not good. Charged 4000 extra for getting number. Sold to me telling all new features. 2. Driving comfort is very good 3. Looks good, Rear seat is better than other cars in the same class 4. AC is not good. The gas refilled many times. It works only a few months. During the summer, it's bad. The fuel economy falls rapidly. The authorized service centre at Mysore is very bad ( past 2 years using in Mysore). Trying to take help from TVS service, but not very good. Past two months using without AC (due to COVID-19) no service available. 5. Both fuel economy bad and service cost is higher.

Exterior Very good except the back portion which need some change. Better the shape on the back made to that of Accent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Confortable for 5 persons. Interior very good and pleasing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I used the car only 100 km and hnece not able to comment on fuel economyt. The engine performance  very good.

Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth to drive  and you really enjoy the driving. Very smooth touch.

Final Words From my drive of 100 km it may not be correct to say a final word. However the 100 km drive gave me a very good experience. I strongly recommend this car to those  who like to migrate from hatch back.

Areas of improvement Back portion need improvment in shape and can be made more cute. Colour options are limited. Some of the colour like blue not very impressive. Even though like  to have a colour car, finally I decided to go for whiote.

very smooth driving which is usual for Hyundai cars.The shape on the back not very attracting. The back side could have made like accent

Exterior

 Its exterior is mindblowing. Its shape is quite like Grandi10 but is more specious than Grandi10. 😎

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Its features is quite interesting and magnificant at such a low cost. As mentioned above it is quite specious and is even more comfortable than Verna. And more interesting in Xcent Sx and Sx(o) the company has provided the car with start buttom for on/off. 😟

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 It is having a engine power of 1198cc with 84bhp power in petrol wich is far more better than Swift dzire(petrol). But one difficulty is there in the car i'e its millage,according to the data of Xcent in the showroom and in the web page,its maillage is 19.2Kmpl but in real in the city, its millage is 12.5Kmpl and 14-15Kmpl in highways without A/C. 😢

Ride Quality & Handling

 Xcent break power is more than Swift dzire even without ABS. I am delightful to drive this car as its handling is quite good. 😊

Final Words

 Iam delighted to drive this car and hope everyone will like the car. 😇

Areas of improvement  

 Xcent's Fuel economy should be increased without reducing its engine power by observing the Toyota's Pirus Petrol version. 

 

Good performance with Excellent Styling and featuresPoor millage

Exterior is decent , will not call it  a fluidic design as verna.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is ver good and there is a feel of quite a bit of luxury at this price range specially rear ac vents is fantastic and three persons can sit comfortably on rear seat. The sound system is amazing with 1 GB on internal memory. Not to forget its large boot space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Have run 800 kms in 1 month but not measured the fuel economy. Some users have told after first servicing, mileage will be around 15-16 km/l with ac  in free city ride.

Ride Quality & Handling Remarkable ride quality . Only problem faced with very sensitive braking as the car was stopped suddenly but got acustomed with in few minutes of ride and now enjoying it. Also, the suspension is a bit stiff as a slight jerk is felt even on smaller road holes.

Final Words Overall the car scores very good in all the features. The gear changing is so smooth and I must say this is the best car available at this price 

Areas of improvement The suspension could be fine-tuned a bit.

space, gearshift, featuressuspension, average exterior looks.

Exterior Rear look Horrible, side looks make it as premium car. Front dide is as same i 10 grand.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Chilled gloved box is grt features in long travel, classy interiors with loaded features, and no sound at all inside the cabin which i liked so much, also the boot space inside is quite sufficient. Although I feel the vehicle can be made just a bit more wider than what it is to give a bit extra comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gearbox is smooth and streering is as light as toy car.

Ride Quality & Handling Fuel Economy and Gearbox all are very good in the segment, my xcent shows 18 in highway and 14 in city drive with fully continious ac. Super high speed control ( no wobbling above 140km/hr), reached 160+ speed

Final Words Great car with loaded features, Overall the car scores very good in all the features. The gear changing is so smooth and I must say this is the best car available at this price.

Areas of improvement Smart pedal should be added.

Very good handling, suits city roads and traffic, High techHorrible exterior rear design

Exterior I own the car for past 3 1/2 months. Exteriors are average. I want Hyundai to introduce fluidic version of it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It has abundant features. To my liking, it has - Rear defogger, Rear AC vents, Automatic climate control, Handsfree calling.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox City mileage is very less - 13 kmpl. Highway mileage came around 16 kmpl. I have driven all the time with AC on. Gearbox manouvering is real smooth, but slighlty inferior to my Santro ZipPlus that I had owned for 12 yrs.

Ride Quality & Handling Brakes are very bad. It has very sharp brakes. I am worried that some day I might get hit from behind due to abrupt braking. I complained for this to the service center, but they say that it is due to ABS. On the contrary, I just read some other review where the guy said that he is experiencing hard brakes. So, i think that ABS has not been calibrated properly in Xcent resulting in extremes.

Quite a many times, the power steering stops working upon starting. It comes back to normal after some time of driving.

Final Words It's an average car with lots of features.

Areas of improvement Brakes, Power steering, External looks (need to be fluidic like Hyundai's other sedan makes).

Abundant features and large Boot-spaceBad braking, bad power steering
