Hyundai Xcent [2014-2017] User Reviews

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Had a major problem with Gear transmission soon after i bought it. While driving the gear would change on its own to lower or upper level. Very erractic behavior. It was in workshop for almost 1.5 months after the purchanse. Persistence efforts and continuous followup - the dealer workshop helped close the matter by replacing the transmission box. Horrible average. Less than 10 in the city.

Ride Quality & Handling There is a persistent noise in the passenger seat. Workshop people agreed there is a strange noise, but could do nothing about it.

Final Words MADE A BIG MISTAKE... NEVER GO FOR IT. Hyundai doesn't care for its customer, once the vehicle is sold. Repeatedly sent many emails, to no avail. Wrote to their big bosses, there was absolutely no satisfactory response. Finally the dealer workshop came to our rescue and helped get the transmission box changed. They themselves followed with Hyundai and got our work done.

Areas of improvement Too many!! Hyundai needs to iprove its customer relationship.

ExteriorBad decision to go for it

Exterior Is ok.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fine & cool.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth , Fuel economy is as per the specification  and gearbox is very soft.

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable for driving.

Final Words It is a complete package having many more latest features at a very affordable price.

Areas of improvement Horn , Automatic door lock anf poor music system quality.

During almost 1500 kms of drive, I realised much more comfort, easy driving. Fuel economy is as per expectation and as claimed by the company. 

I have swift and the major drawback is pickup & power is less. But again swift has some drawback in turn.

There is no second thought about the engine performance. It is too smooth & silent.

In short, the car is launched for a middle class family with full luxury and meeting all the requirements & features same as that available in higher end sedan cars.

Spacious , Good & luxurious lookPoor music system

Exterior Exterior is good. Paint quality is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is very decent with black and biege colour. Very spacious and accomodates 5 persons including the driver. Music system is good. Defogger, ABS, rear seat arm rest and alloy wheels are available in the mid version which is not available in other cars like Dzire and Amaze. Both the front and rear seats are comfortable with ample leg room. The glove box is also very spacious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very smooth. Have completed 500 kms. within 15 days. Fuel economy is very decent i.e. 14 kmpl( tank full to tank full ) with AC in city driving. Haven't gone out of city so can't comment on mileage on the highway. The mileage in city will increase by 1 to 1.5 kmpl as the car completes 3000kms. This is my experience as i have noticed that in my previous cars. Gear shifting is also very smooth. I can say this because i also own a Dzire ZDI model.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good. But, I think Hyundai should work on the suspension. Here my Dzire scores more. Handling is good and the power steering is excellent. 

Final Words Feature packed car compared to the price. Great leg room and luggage space. decent interiors and smooth ride and handling. A true value for money car.

Areas of improvement Slight modification in the front suspension. Dual horn should have been provided.

Good cabin space, good luggage space, decent interiors, feature packed.Suspension could have been a bit better.

Writing this review after using the car for close to 6 months. The car as such has been running good and the overall compact design makes the life easy during daily driving in the city. Extremely easy to handle with just decent mileage.

 

The stability in highways at high speeds has not been great but just manageable.

 

Con: one thing that really really really frustrates me is the cheap exterior side line which kills the look of the car. Though I felt it a bit at the time of booking but never felt so strongly until most of my friends started asking about it. It became a very obvious topic very often whenever there is a gathering near the car. Seeing the BIG plastic/rubbery line on the sides more and more makes the look of the car even cheaper instead of getting used to it. At least for future models it needs to be changed to improve the looks.

Compact size, suits city roads and trafficHorrible exterior design

 Areas of improvement  exterior look should be improved...like fludic verna design

Exterior look should be improved...like fludic verna design

  

Features, Fuel Economy, InteriorShould have fludic design like new verna

Exterior Best in it's segment, only car which is comparable is Chevorlet's SAIL. However rating the  exterior of a car is very subjective, It is a matter of choice.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are most appealing part of this car. Leg space looks a slight issue for driver.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine seems ok specially the noise is very low almost silent, milage is also bearable😊. Gear  shifting is not that great, but not bad.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good so far.

Final Words Overall a good deal for a small family which do not ride car very heavily.

Areas of improvement Suspension can be improved a lot. In SX version when you want to stop the engine, but to continue the music you will have to press  the stop button and then start the music again. This looks annoying and can be improved. Why one has to enter a minimum of 150 words in this field, This is pathetic.

Features, LooksSuspension

Exterior

Car has nice looks from the front with fuidic design unlike other competition. Elegant Sedan look from sides with height and length well balanced. On the back, the windshield is nicely merged with the Boot.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

This car has all the features of costly Sedans like Honda City, Vento, Verna etc. except length of 30 cms less. I had test driven, all these cars and finally settled for 'Xcent' which was offering better fetures at much lower cost. Features List is impressive with nicely designed Music system with 4 speakers, USB, Inbuilt memory, Blue tooth, Steering mounted controls, Seat height adjustments, rear vent ac, cabin light at rear, Water bottle holder on all doors, charger point in front and also at back, reversing sensors, Cool glove box etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I have driven this car for last 2 months and clocked 2200 Kms. Engine & Gearbox are nicely matched for City Traffic and Highway and I have managed average milage of 15.7 Kms to a liter of petrol with AC on with mix driving in city+highway.

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is excellent. Cabin is silent with outside noise reduced to a large extent. I am thrilled to drive this car.

Final Words

Best sedan for indian roads. Value for money. Guys go fo this car.

Areas of improvement  

Tyre size can be increased.

 

Fuel economy of 15.7 Km/Liter of Petrol, Big boot space, Silent cabin, comfortable ride, good brakesWould have preffered bigger Tyre size.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 While the overall car is good, a basic feature of the AC is rubbish. I purchased a Xcent Petrol and got the AC of the car repaired 2 times within 4 months of purchase. After that even the AC cooling is very little because the AC cuts off too soon. If you use this car in the summer, you will have the run the car AC on 3, to even feel that the AC is running, while not really cooling the car. The company gives me explanation that technology has changed so it functions differently. They ask me to run the AC on 3, then bring it to 2 and then to 1 to get the car cool. So am expected to do this everytime i start the car on every signal in the city. 

 

Hyundai is fooling its customers as they make the AC cut off sooner than required, automatically increasing the fuel efficiency but leaving the car hot on the inside. I regret my decision of purchasing the car, given Mumbai is hot almost 365 days, but the car is missing a basic feature, cool the inside of the car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Fuel Economy seems good because AC cuts off too soon. However company expects you to run the AC inside the car on a higher blower all the time to get decent cooling, automatically hitting the fuel economy.

Ride Quality & Handling

 

Final Words

 Basic feature of an AC cooling the inside of the car is complete rubbish. You cannot expect even 10% cooling inside when driving during summer.

Areas of improvement  

 Car AC needs a major upgrade

 

Style, boot spaceAC is completely rubbish

Exterior Very Nice looks 😗

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) In features the best part is the rare A/C vents ...pretty good Boot space ,And also comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth & very Nice 

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent very good on turning.

Final Words I have made a very good decision buying this car and also got excellent Customer service from Mithila Hyundai.

Areas of improvement Some complemantry Accessories by Hyundai like leather folder to keep the car related papers. Hyundai Air freshner whic should have a common fagrance throughout all the cars. Yes its definately value for money and a right decision to buy this car the maintance is very low. The breaking is little urgent but once you get the first service done and you get use to it evey things is good. Plus I was informed in advance about the features and that was what I was looking for before buying. And the same time when i took the test drive at Mithila Hyundai they explained me all the features and same time the convineced me for the car and I was very happy with the services.

Good fuel EconomyN/A
