Good alternate to ALTO.
Hi all of my friends I want to share my personal feedback for EON. As I think this is a good car as compare then Alto because I have done a short test-drive once and I love that. Hyundai knows the Best what India wants� Exterior: Car Makers should Re-Think that front Indicators between front Grill & Head Lamps are very risky. Front Indicators of Most of Hyundai cars, SX4, VW Cars, Honda etc. are not visible when Headlamps are in "Full/High Beam" mode, which is very very risky. EON Looks like a miniature of i10. Front & tail lamps, side etc. all remind of typical Hyundai styling. By size, it can be compared to cars of bigger (4 Lakhs plus) segment. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Front Seats are big big let down, in otherwise comfortable car. Hyundai started, Maruti & Toyota followed. Not giving adjustable Head-Rest in a front seat. Short drivers can not remove Head Rest. Tall drivers can not lift up head rest. I think this is very bad cost cutting in cars. EON is otherwise more comfortable than peers. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine noise could tell, it lacks the power, given EON is the heaviest in sub 3 Lakh range. And 9 valves though may get slightly better mileage BUT will fall too short to ALTO's 12 Valve motor. When its sprinting uphill, Santro/i10 1.1 lose to Wagon, Zen & Ritz mainly because Maruti cars have 4 breathing outlets compared to 3 in each of Hyundai cylinders. EON is 18 C.C. more than ALTO but Lesser Valves in the cylinder may require frequent Gear change in traffic, climbing etc. Expect 1-2 KMPL better mileage on highways in EON over ALTO. Fuel economy Hyundai claims to be 21, but showroom fellows told in the city expect 16-18. I, thus assume mileage to be about 18. Ride Quality & Handling. Its a heavy car, handling should be nice. More space should give good, comfortable ride feels in what one can get under Rs.3 Lakhs. Final Words Good job, with few errors. Buyers have a good choice among EON, Spark and Long tried & tested ALTO. Areas of improvement As I mentioned, Front Seats should have adjustable Head Rest. 9 valve is less for probably the heaviest car in sub Rs. 3 Lakhs. And front Indicators are not visible when Head lamp is in High/Full Beam due to wrong positioning.

- Good Car, Can Be ImprovedIt is very good or it could be a little better vehicle. The things which should be better is that it should have alloy wheel, power window at back also, its transmission should be automatic and there are some small things to be improved. But the car is good for middle-class family because its price is low.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
- Budget CarBudget-friendly car, Overtaking is a horrible idea, ground clearance is not good, worst service and delivery from KTC Hyundai, KERALA. Safety is below par, Build Quality is poor. This is easy to park. Service Cost is very expensive.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
- A balanced carBest car in this budget with good mileage, superb suspension and almost nil maintenance cost. If you are having a small family it is worth considering. I am using this car for almost three years and very much happy to have it. This has become a family member of our family. Even in hilly areas, it is quite comfortable. Mileage is about 23 kmpl. Hence overall a good option to have.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo

- BEST OPTION FOR MIDDLE CLASSVery nice car in budget. Mainly cabin noise is low and mileage is great. Some problems which can be neglected due to low price. But overall performance is very good. Thus toal experience is that it is worth buying especially for middle class families. At last better option than ALTO (Reason-cabin space,interiors,exterior).Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
- True Review of EON (all you need to know)First up, talking regarding the design, the Hyundai Eon have a very approaching design. Form the front it looks aggressive and very different form its rivals (alto800, Kwid). The back tail lights are the main point of attraction of the EON. Backlights aren't the split lights, but it has a unique design EON has been offered in the 11 variants and one of the variants has a 1.0-liter engine (era plus 1.0). I have the Magna plus variant which have .8 liter engine and a five-speed manual transmission which displacing 74.5nm of toque and 55.2horse power, which gives a displacement of 17-18 kmpl of fuel economy while driving on the highway while on the other hand in the city conditions it results in the 14-15kmpl mileage. It is pushing hard on the accelerator it reaches its maximum speed limit of approx. 130kmph. Dead pedal isn't on offer too. EON has the ground clearance of 170mm which is more than its rival alto800 (160mm) which gives slight more efficient driving experience in the city conditions for example ease of driving while having contact of high speed breaker without any worry Eon has very simple and minimalistic interior design which looks very neat comparing to its topmost rival the Alto 800 the Eon's interior are way better. It doesn't have the touchscreen infotainment system which generally not offered in this price segment. It has the analog speedometer, digital fuel meter, and trip meter which also shows the gear position. The driver and the co-driver seats come with the one-way adjustable seats and the integrated headrest which are not so comfortable you can feel very sweaty and comfy sort of fell on the long drives. The steering wheel also comes with the tilt adjustments but the reach adjustment is not being offered. Passenger's seats have the 2 integrated headrests. 3 passengers can sit but because of the slight bump in the middle, the middle passenger doesn't get enough legroom and the shoulder is also is not great. Eon also doesn't get the scooped out seat bag but have the magazine holders .EON offers a decent amount of headroom I'm 5.10 feet tall and doesn't feel any inconvenience regarding the headroom Music system of Eon provide decent sound quality but can be better. While driving right side is not clearly visible because of the A-pillar and the hood is also not visible. The windows are of a decent size which gives very airy fell in the cabin there is not any complain of feeling claustrophobic during long drives Having a compact design. EON still manages to offer a decent amount of boot space of 215 liters while its rival alto800 offers slight more boot space of 225 liters. The spare wheel is also of 13inches which the standard size of all four wheels so there is no cost-cutting in case of the spare wheel. Thus I conclude that the EON is very stylish and feature loaded car in the entry-level segment that?s why EON has the good selling numbers in market but it misses out the safety feature like ABS, ESP which should be standardized by all car manufacturers. Thus the top trim of the EON offers drive side airbag as a safety feature and its worth buying car for this price point it has pros and cone which I already listed above and it can be done better in its upcoming facelift which should be expected in the July 2019.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
