The Hyundai Eon price is likely to be around Rs 2.5 lakhs for its base variant. As for the Hyundai Eon exterior looks, the new small car is a tall boy model, though not in the same proportions as that of Hyundai Santro.

The Hyundai Eon interiors are also said to be well designed along the Hyundai i10 lines that supports CD player, USB port, remote central locking and tilt steering. Similar to that of Hyundai Santro, the Hyundai Eon also offers good boot space of around 215 L, offering a little sparse leg room for the rear seat occupants. The car offers a higher ground clearance to meet the Indian driving conditions. The Hyundai Eon engine is the Santro IRDE 814 cc engine with 56 Bhp peak power output. With the efficient engine, Hyundai Eon is expected to be an excellent car especially to suit the urban requirements of a small car. The car is said to be exceptionally good in handling along the most curvy roads due to its small size and the test drive has proved the car to be a good competitor against the other contenders in the segment including Maruti Alto. The small car boasts an excellent mileage of 21.1 kmpl, which is phenomenal.

Hyundai Eon is expected to be launched in the petrol and the LPG variant only.
