Exterior: Xcent is a decent looking car with great Front and side profile, big hexagonal grill with crome, nice side moulding. The boot is very nicely added to hatchback Grand i10 to gives a Car a real Sedan feel. But the rear look is little bit ackward due to small tail lights and its compact width which needs improvement.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are very nice and gives a nice look to car. Engine Cabin is very silent due to excellent insulation. Sometimes at red lights I am confused whether Car Ignition is Off or ON. Dashboard, Glove Box, Armrest provides a great userfriendly experience. AC is very effective, have gone on long trip with family in the month of June with pleasant coolling inside.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is Butter smooth with great pickup. Even I have noticed that I have to turn the ignition knob slightly and the Car is set to power immediately which is a bit longer in case of Dzire, in which we have to turn the ignition knob for somewhat extended period. Most of the time I am receiving 14 - 15 kmpl in city + highway (70:30 ratio) drive and In complete highway drive I have even received 18-19 kmpl. I generally follow early gear shift method (shift to higher gear before 2000 rpm) which provides very good mileage. Earlier I was confused between Dzire and Xcent since I had heard that Hyundai Car's mileage are a little bit less than Maruti's but I have no regret for the selection of this Car in terms of mileage. Gear Box is very smooth.
Ride Quality & Handling The Brakes are very harsh and stalls the Car suddenly in 1/2 gear. With regular drive I am used to it but if some new person drives it he is surprised by sudden braking. The chances are bright that some following Car may bang the back side. But sometimes I feel that it provides me good confidence since in city drive people are habitual of coming in front of your car suddenly and gives good chance to test Car Brakes 😝
Final Words Great Family Sedan Car with Ample space in Boot, Nice Legroom. Power packed Smooth Engine with Great Mileage. No regret buying the Car. Value for money
