Review after driving first 1000 Km in my Xcent

Exterior

a) Very balanced Look unlike its older competitors from ; Truly it is not Fludidic design of Hyundai but looks very elegant

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

a) Resoanbly spacious; Leg space in back seats are quite good; Boot space is amazing and best in its class

 b) very ergonomically design and features can be accesses very easily

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

a) Fuel Economy ..it is too early. I will pay attention after first servicing on 5th July. But right now for city driving about 14-15km with ac on

 

Ride Quality & Handling

a) Drive is smooth. before buying I had taken ride on i10 Grand and I found it quite satisfactory; Xcent is no different; Since Hyundai cars are inherently designed for city driving, very comfortable to drive around, turning radius is also small

 

Final Words

I feel barring minor drawbacks, what one gets at rs 8L as an overall package is fabulous and I feel I have taken the right decision in going with Xcent  Petrol, top end ver.

Areas of improvement  

a) I had Indica and feel the Width  indside could have been bit more to add some more comfort

b) I drove on highways and clearly above 110-120 km, feels like floating ..however, this is OK and one can not get everything at Rs 8L.

c) single control for both the side mirors - this is surely needs attention. In Indian cities vehcles drive very close to each other due to road width, too many 2 wheelers on the road. So, many a time it is better to keep Non driver side view mirror floded to avoid damage from many senseless drivers. In Xcent, this can not be done. either both open or both remain in folded condition. This should be addressed.
