Exterior As a design on the exterior front Hyundai has done a better job. No doubt the first version was also nice for its looks/ The fluidic seems ergonomically designed.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space on the dashboard though nothing can be kept on it as its a sliding one. I have a habbit of stocking things on the dashboard 😊 Features are great with integrated remote on steering wheels, bluetooth, music system with decent speakers. the only thing it lacks is a preamp out. I was having a JBL amp and woofer which cannot be fixed as it does not have preamp out. There are ways to connect it but seems its safer not to touch the electricals of the new car.
Comfort: Its quite comfortable while driving. Except that the car can only have maximum 4 people and not 5. The rear seats are meant for 2 people only. the center seat is very uncomfortable and pokey. Nevertheless the other 2 can sit properly. The seats are low and havent tried sitting back for a long time since I am driving.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Engine Performance: Not gone beyond 120 km/hr for more than 5 mins so cannot comment much. Seems to be a good one. Heard complaints that at 100 km/hr it just vibrates but I didnt find any of them.
Fuel Economy: Since its hardly 15 day I have driven not more than 800 kms. But experienced the Mumbai traffic in the recent rain affected week and also Mumbai Pune Express highway. The fuel economy was 12-13 kmpl in the city during heavy traffic and around 18 kmpl on the highway. Seems to be fine. Not to forget the AC is always on and kept on 24 degrees.
Gearbox: Better when it comes to my old car which was Santro. Although having 7 gears it is not difficult. Except for the fact you have remember to pull the lever for reverse. Remember one thing while you are asking for valet parking the gear indications will have to be told. Or else he will trying to take on the reverse with the 6th gear 😉
Ride Quality & Handling Ride wise was very smooth. Handling cannot be commented as I am very new to it.
Final Words Overall a good experience.
Areas of improvement Need good spoilers to make it look more sporty. Rework on the height and design of the seat which can accomodate 5 people. Head rest should be provided. Shoulders ache for a while.
Excellent style, good interiors, spacious, Good fuel economyCar designed for max of 4 people, low seats in the rear
