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.

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.

Fuel Efficiency
The Xcent petrol manual claims to offer 19.1 kmpl according to the ARAI tests.

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.
