Xcent Petrol review

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
