Hyundai Santro Xing [2008-2015] User Reviews

Amazing car for occasional use and affordable, ride over 30000km and very tough and best built in quality. Brought in 2009 and since 10 years enjoying its service, only con is its design hope new design will be better and more comforting, mileage is also good but some it troubles, best budget car for small family of 3 or four, safety features is not present like airbags seat design is quite old.

My buying experience was good ,it is quite comfortable,its body is not so muscular as it is a family car,best for 4 members family,service is very cheap and spare parts are easy to available

I drive this car And it's a fabulous experiance. It is more fuel convenient with respect to other Hyundai vehicles. So I can recommend other s to make an option when you go for any car

Very economical car ,the boot space is gud enough and it is very comfortable to drive in city side main road and there is small vibration when 5 gear is used and the good think is when speed of the car reduced the gear get shift automatically according to the speed.

Santro Xing GLS is best out of all these type of cars, wt a speed, wt pickup n no maintenance, available all of places in services, looks like killer in low budget, once should try for new buyer, its amazing

Santro Xing may be an old model but I yet love it. It infact looks fantastic with the new grills. The front seats are very spacious, it offers great legroom and knee room for both the driver and the passengers; and the boot space is also very apt for any drive with luggage. The 1086 CC hyundai engine is a gem and is very powerful. The car also has a very nice pickup. The gearbox is very smooth. The car has awesome fuel efficiency and gives a good mileage. Driving this car in heavy city traffic is very easy giving credit to its great handling. This car is superb in this price range and deserves a thumbs up for it from my end.

In October, 2009, we planned to buy a car for home purpose and visited various showrooms nearby to check out the suitable car for us. And, after much research, we had finalised Hyundai Santro Xing GLS Petrol. With my car I have visited various places like from my hometown Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh) to Katra (J&K) with 4 + 1 and I had driven up to 140 speed on highway and it was purely smooth driving. The pick up is good and there is no body-roll in the car. We also aligned our car wheels after 4 years of ownership and changed them too to that of Michelin for better riding quality. The size of boot space is decent for 2-3 small bags to occupy. Interior and exterior were impressive and up to mark in that era. It is an original Korean silhouette styling. The rear spoiler puts icing on the cake and it comes standard in the car. The car is equipped with 1.1 L engine which produces maximum output of 1086 cc and the engine is quite good for a hatch. Even the 2018 Santro does equip with same 1.1 L engine. We got an average of 15-16 km/l on highway. I always use to do the service at Hyundai authorised service centre and overall service and maintenance were satisfactory. The service in Sanmati Hyundai Showroom in Muzaffarnagar is fast, quick and awesome. Only the main problem I face in reverse gear and once it comes in pits gear comes automatically in neutral mode. And, the biggest pron which I believe is Its performance on roads. I mean it tackles the road conditions very well for such a small hatch and the performance on roads is good and it also does get a quick but quite pace during overtakes. At last but not the least, I would like to say that it is value for money with all the bells and whistles you can expect in this price range.

Exterior: Paint and other accesiories are good

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Front seats and driver seat is very good, space is ok for average height peoples

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Powerful (never let me down), Fuel minimim 15 KM/L (Petrol), Gear box Ok (nothing to complaint)

 

Ride Quality & Handling: PErfect for long drives, handling is very good(total in control).

 

Final Words: Excellent cards, i would say it is on higher segment compared to M800

 

Areas of improvement  : Back suspension and seats.

 I have bought in 2008, and already used it as my 2 wheeler,It has completed 70000KM, still going good. But rember to get best out of it, always maintain it and get service (with genuinue parts only). I have never spent on any thing for this car apart from annual service. I would say its low maintence car. No problem till 120 KM/h, brakes are good. AC is ok (not very great). On highy way average is 18+ KM/L.

 

High Seat, Good control, MileageBack seat & Dashboard

 

Exterior I fell for the looks, its improved a lot .  Good Exteriors, headlamps, fog lamps, grill fills the beauty. Even though small in size dominating in the crowd.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are good, but leg space is bit short, dashboard design has to be improved.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Epsilon engine rocks. performance is up to the mark, makes it well in the city traffic with short curves and slow moving traffic. it a pleasure to ride on the highway easily peaks to 100 kmph and stable ride. Mileage is also pretty good.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is smooth and handling is good in busy traffic, short curves. Gear box is soft like flower and clutch, breaking has seen lot of improvments.

Final Words Good value for money, Great car with super looks, good engine.

Areas of improvement May be improve interiors, make it more spacious.

Stylish, comfort, good fuel economy, superb pickup, peppy car, not for the light heartedless spacious,
