Exterior
Poor rubber fitting came out after 7 months, not expected from a Hyundai as many say Hundai has it 'The Best'. Motor-Cycle like fuel lid makes it awkward and Out-Of-Place. Only one Reverse Indicator (Cost-Cutting). SHAME ON YOU Hyundai!😱 And still is called the Best Quality car manufacturer!
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Good to see that this is an exceptional car to feature a low height Floor-Hump unlike the VW cars and welcomely accepts the 5th occupant but the truely intrusive Air-Vents spoil the show. Leg-room is a lot, a 6-Footer can easily sit behind another 6-footer.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
A dumb CRDi engine, it makes it down to the Service Centre a lot, took me to the Service Centre 7 times in 1 Year due to breakdown!! But should be appreciated that it is easy to repair. Maybe that's why Mechanics too get a lot of income and are more interested in job!!! Engine is also VERY WEAK, even the cheap KUV 100 has a 80 BHP diesel engine. Fuel Economy is greatly claimed but gives about 11.5 kpl on road. Gearbox is easy to shift but feels quite rubbery while shifting from 3+gear to 1st or 2nd and is a curse to change.
Ride Quality & Handling
NVH levels are Best-in-Class and there is almost NO engine sound in the cabin. Suspensions are quite managing for ditches and bumps but maybe are poorly fitted. I felt so because it has a LOT of Body-Roll, more than the 2005 Scorpio!!😱
Final Words
Good car but needs a LOT of improvement and is not worth buying with much affordable and better quality cars like the KUV 100, upcoming Tata Hexa, Current Tata Aria and other crossovers nearby
Areas of improvement
Almost INFINITE!! The list is,
Decrese body roll, Get rid of that **** CRDi Engine type and a more powerful engine please!!We want better quality of fitting of Rubber-Beading, remove that awkward looking Fuel Lid, try to improve on road mileage (10 kpl less than claimed mileage!!), I BEG YOU TO LEAVE COST-CUTTING!!
Mileage (Claimed), Enough for 5 occupants, Good bootA lot of Cost-Cutting is evident, Mileage (On road), Very weak engine
