A fine all round mid size sedan.

Exterior Much better looking than others in this segment and has a really solid built quality.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The best looking interiors in the segment without a shadow of doubt. Slightly less spacious than the Zest though. Zest is indeed a bit wider but still 3 people can comfortably sit on the back seat in Xcent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Driven for 2000 kms, average 12-15kmpl in city with ac on, the engine is powerful enough for this segment, has a very smooth gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality and handling in the city. The overall better built quality of this car gives it much more stability on city roads as compared to others in the segment.

Final Word The most complete package in this segment. Good performance, well built, stylish looks, best in class interiors, loaded with features and a good fuel economy. I got a pretty good deal as well from the dealer (Hans Hyundai Moti Nagar) at the time of purchase. Got the first service done and was totally satisfied. If you are in the market for a new car and have budget of 7-8 lacs, I would surely recommend you the Xcent SX (O) 1.2. Simply because it is the best value for money in this segment and does not really have a weak area.

Areas of improvement NA.

no cabin noise, very comfortable, good driving experience, loaded with excellent featureslacks power when going uphill. Needs a downshift almost every time.
