Best Mid Size Sedan...Look no further.

Exterior

The exterior is not the german car or the japanese car types but it is decent as it is a shoot right out of the grand i10, so average looks, but not too bad like the etios or the Amaze.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The Interiors are really exciting like the Dashboard with Bluetooth technology and steering mounted controls with phone call support as well as the rear AC vents. The bottle holders on the doors hold the normal aquafina or bisleri bottles unlike all other same segment cars.  The Air Conditioning is really very good and at 1 or 2 cools th cabin without the need of the rear ac vents open. the USB doxk and the power inputs are neatly placed and easily accesible as well. ample of space to keep your small titbits. The cool Glove box is also an advantage. The Rear Space is quite good with the armrest and glass holders, but 3 heavy persons will be a bit difficult to accomodate behind. The Drivers Seat height is adjustable ad so is the steering wheel. The Trip meter is super and its controls are on the wheel as well. Only dissapointment is the Horn. It is very stiff and feels plasticky and noisy when in use. But a small issue which can be ignored as every car has its cons.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The Engine is Wow...I didnt think i would get such a good mileage on the car as i just travelled to pune and back and the car gave me an average of 20 kmpl, which is amazing for a petrol car,

Yes the engine is a bit slower on the highways but there is a technique to handle it, like whenever i needed some power for overtaking or something simila I always used to upShift first see how the gear is coping and then down shift for max torque and when the momentum is back I upshift again. this way I have got good results. But in the City traffic it is the best car which even beats the Dzire, it is too good for crowded areas and you can easily manouvre it smoothly.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The Handling of the Car is very practical and very smooth just like the Polo. It gives the feel of safety and comfort together and in sticky areas it is very good. I only sat once in the rear seat as i am the only driver in my family but when i was seated it felt like you are in a sedan and the bumps were very little to feel, beautiful Suspension.

Final Words

 Well I would recommend this car to them whose budget is just under 7 and are probably looking for a small car. This car is a dark knight amongst all other cars in its segment. The service is excellent. I had researched so many cars before this decision of mine . like the dzire the amaze even the polo but feature wise and price wise this car was the best along with the zest but the zest being a tata product and because of its bad service history I rejected it. The only car which was competition was the Dzire but it offered only half of the features which the xcent offered. Therefore We chose the Xcent and are very happy for our decision. Kudos Hyundai

Areas of improvement  

 Only area for improvement I guess is the Horn and the Braking which you have to get used to after some time, Rest all is all shiny for the Xcent.
