Engine
The Xcent petrol is powered by the same 1.2-litre four-cylinder Kappa2 engine as the Grand i10.

The Drive
First things first, this 1.2-litre four-cylinder is no Honda i-VTEC. It lacks the excitement and power you get in the Amaze.

Instead, the Xcent petrol, much like its oil-burning twin, likes to take things easy and relaxed.
Instead of building the revs, the Xcent suggests you shift at the right rpm and enjoy a relaxed drive.

Again, it seems Hyundai have optimised this engine for city use. Adding to the comfort of a city car is the light clutch and smooth gearbox.
Overall, the Xcent’s petrol engine falls short in comparison to the Amaze and Dzire.

Price
The Xcent manual starts at Rs 466,000 and goes up to Rs 647,000, the Dzire is priced from Rs 485,000 - Rs 631,000 and the Amaze from Rs 499,000 - Rs 664,000.
Just like the diesel variant, the petrol Xcent delivers good value with base prices undercutting the competition, while the top-end ensures your money’s worth.

Verdict
Again, if engine performance is your priority, we suggest you look at the Honda.
But as an overall complete family sedan, it’s the Xcent petrol which gets our vote thanks to its feature rich cabin, well appointed interiors and competitive price tag.
