The delivery of this car will begin around first week of November. Car analysts felt that Hyundai EON will replace Hyundai Santro but Hyundai EON which is developed in India, specifically for this market will co-exist with Hyundai Santro, at least initially, and then Hyundai might decide to phase out the Hyundai Santro.
