Review Comments
Overall Ownership Experience
  • Bought primarily due to lack of other diesel options (Ford Figo/Freestyle discontinued; only Altroz and i10 had diesel).
  • Hyundai’s 1.2L CRDi engine delivers strong performance and reliable operation
  • Cruises effortlessly at 100 km/h with RPM around 2000–2500
  • Delivers excellent fuel economy
  • City mileage: 16–19 km/l
  • Highway mileage: 20–25 km/l
  • Gently driven mileage (e.g., with pregnant passengers): 29–31 km/l
  • Tyre upgrade at 43,000 km to 185/65 R14 Yokohama improved comfort significantly
Service & Maintenance Experience
  • Hyundai’s service network is excellent — wide reach and centralized feedback system ensures accountability.
  • Customer satisfaction rating culture (anything below 10/10 is flagged), leading to polite and responsive service advisors.
  • However:
  • They sometimes inflate bills by adding unnecessary jobs to the job card.
  • They do share photos and videos of work done, which adds transparency.
  • Billing practices can still be improved — called out as “nonsense billing.”
Things You Like & Dislike
Things to Like:
  • Great diesel engine performance
  • Value for money (VFM) overall
  • High fuel efficiency and power
  • Customer-focused upper management
Things to Dislike:
  • Insurance data leaks — results in spam calls from third-party agents
  • Inflated bills during paid services
  • No AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) available
  • Pressure to buy extended warranty, sometimes using scare tactics
