About

The Hyundai Xcent E is a compact sedan that offers a blend of comfort, practicality, and affordability. It comes with a 1.2-litre diesel engine producing 74hp and 190Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The interior, even in the base E variant, boasts good fit-and-finish quality, though it misses out on some of the advanced features like rear AC vents and a touchscreen infotainment system available in higher variants. The car has a spacious boot with 407 litres of capacity and decent rear legroom, making it suitable for small families. The ride quality is comfortable, and the handling is predictable and novice-friendly. While it may not excel in performance or fuel efficiency, it is a reliable and hassle-free option for daily city driving.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Hyundai Xcent E, while being the base variant, still manages to offer a compelling package for those on a strict budget. However, it lacks some of the premium features that make the higher variants so appealing. The interior quality and fit-and-finish are commendable, even in the base model, but youll have to compromise on features like rear AC vents, electrically adjustable mirrors, and a more advanced infotainment system. The 1.2-litre diesel engine, though efficient in city driving, lacks the top-end punch, which might be a concern for highway drivers. Overall, its a solid choice for city use, especially for first-time car buyers or those prioritizing affordability without sacrificing too much on comfort and reliability.

Price

The Hyundai Xcent E variant is priced competitively in the Indian market. As of the latest data, the ex-showroom price for the Xcent E diesel variant starts around Rs. 6.28 lakhs in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around Rs. 7.5 lakhs to Rs. 8 lakhs, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers who still want a feature-rich compact sedan. However, its worth noting that spending a bit more on the E variant can get you several additional features that significantly enhance the driving and passenger experience.

Latest Updates

Saturday, 24 October 2020 06:53 PM The Hyundai Xcent subcompact sedan has been removed from Hyundai Indias website, marking the end of its production run in the country. This move follows the launch of the Hyundai Aura, which replaced the Xcent as the companys sub-4 metre sedan offering. I believe this transition was necessary to keep the product lineup fresh and competitive.

Sunday, 26 August 2018 07:22 AM Hyundai updated the Xcent with additional safety features, including ABS and EBD across all variants, along with dual front airbags. This update was part of a broader effort to enhance safety standards in the segment. I think this move was a step in the right direction, making the Xcent a safer choice for buyers.

Thursday, 20 April 2017 12:56 PM The 2017 Hyundai Xcent facelift was launched in India, featuring a revised grille, bumper, and reworked headlamp cluster. The facelift also included a new 1.2-litre diesel engine and various other cosmetic and feature updates. I think these changes significantly improved the Xcents appeal in the market.

Wednesday, 18 May 2016 04:05 PM Hyundai launched a special edition of the Xcent to celebrate its 20 years in India. This special edition was priced starting at Rs. 6.25 lakh and included several unique features and cosmetic changes. I believe such special editions help keep the model relevant and appealing to customers.

Wednesday, 26 November 2014 10:37 PM Hyundai announced plans to export the made-in-India Xcent to Mexico, highlighting the models global potential. This move was seen as a boost to Hyundais export strategy from India. I believe this export initiative showcases the quality and competitiveness of Indian-manufactured vehicles.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 10:17 PM The mileage of the Hyundai Xcent E, particularly with the 1.2-litre diesel engine, is respectable but not outstanding. In real-world conditions, you can expect around 18-20 kmpl in city driving and up to 23 kmpl on highways, depending on driving habits and road conditions. While these figures are decent, they may not be the best in the segment. For buyers concerned about mileage and running costs, the Xcents fuel efficiency is adequate but not exceptional, making it a balanced choice rather than a standout.
