Hyundai Xcent [2014-2017] User Reviews

Exterior The front and side profile is awesome. The back is bit plain.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent interiors, Good space if you are sitting at the rear. Very comfortable looks up market when u sit in the car.It has convenient storage areas,  and feel of plastic all round, again is quite upmarket for its class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very refined petrol engine. Not for car enthusiasts but for people who drive sedately. Having said that it is cool to drive at 2.5 rpms too.Gear shift is butter smooth. Fuel economy is average.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is smooth .Suspension is very good.Handling at corners too is quite comfortable.The seats are comfy, the driving position feels right and the visibility isn't a problem.

Final Words If you want an allrounder, get this car.With all gizoms it VFM. It is indeed a complete family sedan. Enjoyed every aspect of this car. Compared to other cars in this segment, this one surely wins the race.

Areas of improvement Horn, Auto door lock.

Features, Rear Seat Comfort , Good to drive in a relaxed mannerHorn

Exterior

a) Very balanced Look unlike its older competitors from ; Truly it is not Fludidic design of Hyundai but looks very elegant

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

a) Resoanbly spacious; Leg space in back seats are quite good; Boot space is amazing and best in its class

 b) very ergonomically design and features can be accesses very easily

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

a) Fuel Economy ..it is too early. I will pay attention after first servicing on 5th July. But right now for city driving about 14-15km with ac on

 

Ride Quality & Handling

a) Drive is smooth. before buying I had taken ride on i10 Grand and I found it quite satisfactory; Xcent is no different; Since Hyundai cars are inherently designed for city driving, very comfortable to drive around, turning radius is also small

 

Final Words

I feel barring minor drawbacks, what one gets at rs 8L as an overall package is fabulous and I feel I have taken the right decision in going with Xcent  Petrol, top end ver.

Areas of improvement  

a) I had Indica and feel the Width  indside could have been bit more to add some more comfort

b) I drove on highways and clearly above 110-120 km, feels like floating ..however, this is OK and one can not get everything at Rs 8L.

c) single control for both the side mirors - this is surely needs attention. In Indian cities vehcles drive very close to each other due to road width, too many 2 wheelers on the road. So, many a time it is better to keep Non driver side view mirror floded to avoid damage from many senseless drivers. In Xcent, this can not be done. either both open or both remain in folded condition. This should be addressed.  

 

Exterior, overall Style, Boot Space, Excellent featuresWidth, Stability at high speed (above 110 km)

Exterior I own the car for past 3 1/2 months. Exteriors are average. I want Hyundai to introduce fluidic version of it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It has abundant features. To my liking, it has - Rear defogger, Rear AC vents, Automatic climate control, Handsfree calling.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox City mileage is very less - 13 kmpl. Highway mileage came around 16 kmpl. I have driven all the time with AC on. Gearbox manouvering is real smooth, but slighlty inferior to my Santro ZipPlus that I had owned for 12 yrs.

Ride Quality & Handling Brakes are very bad. It has very sharp brakes. I am worried that some day I might get hit from behind due to abrupt braking. I complained for this to the service center, but they say that it is due to ABS. On the contrary, I just read some other review where the guy said that he is experiencing hard brakes. So, i think that ABS has not been calibrated properly in Xcent resulting in extremes.

Quite a many times, the power steering stops working upon starting. It comes back to normal after some time of driving.

Final Words It's an average car with lots of features.

Areas of improvement Brakes, Power steering, External looks (need to be fluidic like Hyundai's other sedan makes).

Abundant features and large Boot-spaceBad braking, bad power steering

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

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.

Exterior Very simple.  styish, dynamic &  looks more complete compare to Dizer & amaze. Diamond cut alloy wheel in SX(O) model gives extra-ordinory looks , Large boot space,

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Simply EXCEPTIONAL is the word i would like to explain interior. Lots of feature at reasonable affordable price. Quality of interior plastic is good too..Cool glove box, Controls on streering wheel, music system, climate control AC, Rear parking camera with sensors, night view mirror, Push button start , smart key , electronically adjustable & retractable OVRM  adds pleasure to driving & gives feeling of luxurios car from inside..not to forget height adjustable driver seat & rear vent AC.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I clocked 1000 km in one month & found pleased with my decison to go for Xcent, i drove almost 800 kms on highways with speed around 80- 100 km/hr & rest of the 200 kms strictly below 30km/hr due to. So average fuel economy came to around 17.5 Km/ L.. which seems to be very satisfactory. Gear box is butter smooth, very easy to change. undoubtly best i saw so far. Great performance above 2000 rpm. Petrol engine is fine tuned & noise inside the cabin is almost zero.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very comfortable, little bit extra width in rear seat would have been great, seems best Handling car for crowded city area.. Noise insulation is excellent & it's feedback from the people who have driven Desire, amaze, I20 etc.. if you are not adventurous & sporty, you will definetly love this car.

Final Words If you have budget around 7.5 -7.8 lakhs & want to have premium features, shall not have second thought, descision is very simple to make. GO for IT.

Areas of improvement Could have been great car with engine capacity of 1400 CC, gets bit slow while gear shift from 3-4 , 5-4 & 4-5, --- But still acceptable.

Features , Noise insulation , comfortable , PerformanceYet to observe

Exterior

 exterior is just lovely , but dont get mistaken by its exterior look, but when u sit inside its more like a ship its really spacious

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The interiors are just a bit ok , but the instrument console were decent and really nice. the thing that i most liked are the shortcut button located on the steering head to change to music , folders , modes , etc are really marvellous

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 performance is quite well for a 1.2 cc engine, and is th best in its class i suppose when u compare it with other companies of the same class. The gearbox is the most important thing to applaud about this car, it is really butter smooth and precise.

Ride Quality & Handling

 handling and quality of ride in incomparable when you compare with other companies

Final Words

 just a perfect all rounder!

Areas of improvement  

 but for a person who does long errands, or cruising , i dont think the seats will be on the softer side, what i would suggest is a customized cushion seats especially in the rears, the passengers are going to expect a little discomfort for sure, especially for long trips

 

the seats are not VEry comfortable , but is ok for normal city errands, and the Handling is awesomemileage which i got would be like 11 or 12 in local , is just a bit sad, when u got 5 stars in all:)

Exterior

 Not great but not bad either.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Best in its class or available in India. Space is good and car is comfortable

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is good and smooth, Fuel economy is average

Ride Quality & Handling

 Average

Final Words

 Over all another winner from Hyundai, its here for long term to rule on Indian roads

Areas of improvement  

 Quality of dealership, as my experience at Himgiri Gurgaon was so bad that i will think next time to buy a Hyundai Car as they failed to keep their word and give Foot mat  etc of I10 without even telling us and term of insurance is different from what i asked for and forced to buy insurance from them. Unable to deliver car on time, i had not received my accessory bill so far. So Hyundai to ensure that buyer get good experience at their dealer and have control over them

 

Feather rich, Fully loaded best amoung peers at great priceService of dealer, Himgiri

Exterior Desine is best (try to put a chrome grill in front,it enhances the look of the car and looks like a costly car.Rest all is good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is very very much comfortable and the reare ac vent cools the back cabin very faster.Back leg room space is very spacious but the space decreases upto 2 inch afer you put a costly seat cover of 16k.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox all are very good in the segment, my xcent shows 18.5 in highway and 15.5 in city drive with fully continious ac.

 

Ride Quality & Handling is also very good.

 

Final Words if you are planning to buy a sedane car in 7.4 lakhs then go for it,its the best.

 

I think the car is fully perfect and did not need any type of improvements

 

I also have a i10 sportz car 1.2 kappa2 and it is also very comfertable,i go to my office in my car and long drive,parties in my xcent.
