Is the Hyundai Xcent a successful car?
It was when it hit the market. Later on, things fizzled out for it and right now Maruti dzire is the champion of its segment. However, with respect to other rivals excluding Dzire, xcent is doing reasonably well.Biggest drawback of Xcent :Based on grand i10 which didnt fare well in crash tests.Poor front seats. Just sit in Dzire or Jazz or Swift or Baleno; and then sit on Xcent front seats. One instantly feels less comfortable and the fixed front headrests are horrible. Even cheaper cars like Wagon R LXi have 4 adjustable headrests.Below average performing 1.1 diesel which was later rectified during facelift and a 1.2 diesel is being offered.Fuel efficiency of petrol fell below mark in real world as compared to dzire and Amaze.Ride was bit unsettled, whereas rivals had more composed ride qualityPositives.Excellent refinement, even in diesel. very few can match this.Feel good factor. Makes you feel that you have spent money well, specially interiors.Large boot space.Reasonably spacious cabin. 3 adults in back are difficult, but still its quite comfortable for 3 adults (most of its rivals too offer similar or better comfort).There is no reason to go for Xcent over Elite i20. Elite i20 is better built inside out. Premium hatchbacks are more modern than compact sedans derived out of entry level hatchbacks.
How's Hyundai Xcent? I want a car with good features around 8-9 lakhs, and I don't want a Maruti car.
Xcent is better than Dzire and Amaze any day. My father is having Dzire vxi-2015. My BIL has amaze 2016 and I am having xcent sx 2018. I have driven all on Highways and in cities as well. So bit intro, I am auto enthusiast n driving since last 18 years, so quite qualified to answer.Xcent is very stable at 120 kph and it has so much safety rich features that you have the confidence in car. My car has ABS, EBD, AIRBAGS;which isn't in Dzire vxi. Braking of xcent is any day best in class. Its real value for money. Xcent sx is little cheaper than Dzire vxi but has features in line with Dzire zxi. My xcent sx has power windows, power steering, electronic controlled ORVM, 6′inch touch screen with Android/ apple car play, rear view camera, parking sensors, boot lights, rear ac vents, rear charging point, alloy wheels and much more.But the point is its very easy and effortless in driving. However Dzire has better pickup and 10% better ac which lacks in Xcent. If you can live with it then Go for Xcent any day.

Which is a better car, a Hyundai Xcent or a Maruti Dzire 2017?
My vote goes to Xcent!. Maruti design appeal is more of lower middle class. To drive my point, look at its curvy designs as against straight and sharp design curves of Xcent (that adds to its classy look). The european style front grill of Dzire looks un impressive, see the front grill of Ford Aspire how sharp it comes across. Dzire still carries forward the classic mistake of the engine hood being long while the boot being small. Contrast that with Xcent which is more symmetric in its design appeal. Dzire comes across as more bulky and with its bigger wheel base and engine hood gives the buyer a false sense of belief that the car is bigger than Xcent. In reality Xcent is more compact and aerodynamic with an equal size cabin, better interiors and bigger boot than Dzire. Its due to its aerodynamic design, Xcent has a better ride quality at high speed as against Dzire which feels unstable at hight speed. Maruti will always appeal to the aspiring car buyers and not the seasoned car buyers.
Which car should I buy Honda amaze,Hyundai Xcent,Ford figo aspire, maruti dezire or Hyundai i20 elite?
Of all the cars you mentioned, leaving Elite every car belongs to compact sedan class. i20 is the only hatchback. In the maintenance part, the only car which seems to (relatively) suffer is the Aspire. Rest all are almost niggle free. i20 has an image for being a maintenance monster but believe me when I say that I have never faced any niggles in my 1 year of ownership. Efficiency wise, go for Amaze or Dzire. Following are the short descriptions for each:1. Honda Amaze: -Fuel efficient, powerful but (very) noisy diesel.Great space and airiness.Almost lacks every creature comfort.2. Swift Dzire: -Safest bet. Can't go wrong with it. Also the most boring. Car for masses. 3. Hyundai Xcent: - Typical Hyundai. Creature comforts. But minus the boot, i20 is better option. 4. Ford Figo Aspire: - Best built. Strong engine. Not for mass but class. Maintenance a bit of issue. 5. Hyundai Elite i20:-Best looker. Strong diesel (aspire and amaze have better power but it is one of the most refined oil burner). Nice interiors. Feel good factor. Boot smaller than comparison. Space bit on low side. Hope this helps!

I am planning to buy a Hyundai Xcent SX 1.1L diesel. Will it be a good car for the long run? What are some other options?
Right off the bat, the Xcent with its facelift received a bump in engine capacity from 1.1l to 1.2l. So with that sorted, the diesel motor on Hyundai is a great motor for city driving, because of its adequate power and torque and refinement. Just in terms of refinement, the Hyundai probably has one of the best engines here. Its fuel-efficient also. And being a Hyundai, it should also serve you well in the long-run. So its a really good option in this segment.Now as for other options, you could go for the Dzire. You see, cars like Dzire/Xcent are the prettiest looking of the lot, but they are very good packages and hence sell well.But if you enjoy driving, then you should go for the VW Ameo diesel or the Ford Figo Aspire. They are also good cars, with the Ameo having a little cramped rear legroom. If its sheer legroom you want, go for Etios. Sure interiors are not the best and neither the engine, but it gives you more space, practicality and Toyota’s reliability. If you want something cheaper and you will mainly drive alone in the city mostly, then the Tigor is a good option, with the engine being its Achilles heel.
