The design as mentioned earlier, Hyundai Eon has a stylish and chic design, whereas Maruti Alto looks a little old. Hyundai Eon has another highlight, which is the full size door armrest, which is not present in Maruti Alto. Safety wise Hyundai Eon is impressive enough to give a tough competition to India’s bestselling small car, Maruti Alto as the former is bestowed with driver side airbag in top-variant whereas Alto is devoid of it. But this can be accounted for the high price of EON. Well it’s completely upon the buyers as to what is their priority as a comparison cannot lead to a final result between the two small cars.
