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. Hyundai EON is powered by a 814 cc three cylinder engine generating 55.23 bhp power coupled with 75 Nm of torque. This power figure is greater than Maruti Alto’s and Hyundai EON is also expected to return about 21 kmpl mileage comparable to Maruti Alto. At almost the same price, people might prefer Hyundai EON over Maruti Alto. However, the high end variants of Hyundai EON can reach up to a price of Rs 3 to 3.2 lakh.
