3.0 Exterior | 3.0 Comfort | 4.0 Performance |
4.0 Fuel Economy | 5.0 Value for Money |
Exterior When I bought this car the exterior could be appreciated. now with the new cars coming up, it need to improve the exterior. also a great part of it is fibre so be careful and don't dask.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is constrained for 5.4 is good and decent. boot space is not great though not bad.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Impressive engine. the pickup is good and frankly speaking 1.2 engine is really peppy when you drive in the city roads as well as go through the expressways. i have done a Pune-Mumbai, Pune-Mahabaleshwar and Pune-Aurangabad and was impressed. city roads in pune are not bad so it was not an issue to drive. Gearbox has always been very impressive. AC is good and powerful but rear people have issues with the air flow not reaching them immediately. Doors don't close smoothly. i have driven around 22k and i get a mileage of 16 in the city(with less AC) and a mileage of around 18 (with ac) in highways. i do a servicing every 10 months.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good and it is very easy to drive through and negotiate in small towns and busy roads. The headlamp is though a less powerful. on bad roads be careful and drive slowly but till now i have not hit the bumper in unexpectedly bad road. again it depends from driver to driver. but one thing is sure- one hit from even a cycle and you might get a dent or deep scratch as most part is fibre.
Final Words Will recommend to people who are driving at most 4 people. need a "peppy" car and want low maintancne and good mileage. I have not checked on the spare parts but i heard that they are easily available. Hyundai has made effort to keep the prices in check for spare parts.
Areas of improvement Boot space surely and AC vents if possible in the rear. A bit more stronger body is desirable but then that might bring down the mileage.
Mileage, Low maintainance, good pickupSpace
