Meet the Hyundai Eon, the Korean automaker's new pint-sized econobox for the Indian market. Bloomberg Businessweek says Hyundai expects to sell 140,000-150,000 of the $5,496 hatchbacks in the subcontinent each year. With styling and interior treatments borrowed from higher up in the Hyundai food chain, we wouldn't be surprised.

Powered by an 814-cc 3-cylinder making 55 horsepower and 55 lb-ft of torque, the 137.6-inch Eon rides on a 93.7-inch wheelbase. That makes it 8 inches shorter than a Mini Cooper hatchback, meaning it's smaller than any four-seater currently sold in the U.S. market. Unsurprisingly, Hyundai is pushing fuel economy and interior roominess as the Eon's key selling points, claiming not only best-in-class fuel economy but that its width and wheelbase are also tops in its segment.

The Eon is designed to compete directly with the Maruti Suzuki Alto, the best-selling car in India. Suzuki Maruti currently holds 43 percent of the market, with Hyundai capturing only 20, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

No! I think it is much similar to the Hyundai Getz

Mas maliit sya sa Getz at i10..Sana nga sir E.J dalhin yan dito ng HARI-Hyundai Philippines...

This looks better than the i10

Mukhang Tata Nano on some angles... Question, is this cheaper than the i10 sa India?

I am hoping this car goes here. It will be a sure hit, if the price is right.

Magkano kaya dito sa Pinas pag available na?

Cute ah, siguro mga 400,000 lang yan since it's designed to compete directly with the Alto.

Hyundai EON is now in the market and giving tough competition to other small
cars like alto. Its looks and mileage is attracting to the Indian people.
