Hyundai has introduced the 'Sports Edition' of the Eon with some cosmetic and feature upgrades. The Eon Sports Edition features Sporty Roof Rails, side body moulding graphics and a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system which has phone link, USB, AUX and Bluetooth connectivity. However, the Sports Edition is only available with the smaller 0.8-litre engine and not with the bigger 1.0-litre. The Sports Edition is available with the Era+ variant at about Rs 16,000 more over the stock variant and with the Magna+ variant for a premium of about Rs 10,000. The Eon is powered by a 0.8-litre or a 1.0-litre petrol mill where the former has power/torque figures of 56PS/75Nm and the latter churns out 69PS/94Nm. These engines come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The Hyundai Eon competes with cars like the Renault Kwid, Maruti Alto 800 and Datsun redi-GO.
I had purchased Hyundai EON in 2012 and still using it. This car is best in price ,body type impresses very well. If we compare it with other cars of this range, this car is all of the over best. The interiors are very good as compared to other like Alto, Kwid and many more. If we talk about its average it is very impressible in petrol it gives 20 km/litre and I have LPG varient in LPG. It is also fabulous. As compared to petrol and LPG. LPG fuel is best in mileage. AC (air-conditioner) of this ... 6
When Hyundai Eon was launched, it made almost all the heads turn thanks to its attractive design, which was non-existent in its segment. Yes, the Maruti Alto 800 may be the best selling car in the country, but we all would agree it’s not particularly expressive. So, when Hyundai launched Eon, the vibes were so strong that the Maruti launched a special edition variant of the then Alto just a day before the Eon launch. Hyundai Eon has the big responsibility to follow the footsteps of the iconic Santro that put the Korean car company on the right track.

CarDekho Verdict
Hyundai Eon brings to the table what the other cars have failed to at the same time inspired other companies (read Renault with their Kwid) to bring a great looking car that offers best-in-class build quality, good fuel economy and lots of features in this segment. In typical Hyundai way.
"The Eon is certainly eons ahead of what the Alto offers and is almost head on with the Renault Kwid. "
The Eon is certainly eons ahead of what the Alto offers and is almost head on with the Renault Kwid. So close, that we couldn’t come to a conclusion between the two. The biggest advantage the Eon holds over the Kwid is that it's available without a waiting period, however the Kwid is more appealing as it is the new k(w)id on the block.
