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

[eggman]

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

[tudor]

This looks better than the i10

[myk384]

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

[malcoxx]

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

Hi, any news on this model? My mother in law was at a dealer and they said this is to be launched this month, can anybody confirm. There is an ad in Sulit with an estimated price of P400k. Thanks.

What's the difference?

What's the difference?

Body-keyed bumpers. Better head unit. Metallic paint on some of the interior trim pieces instead of black. Tilting steering wheel. Mostly cosmetic stuff. I wouldn't mind buying the base model... I like the black bumper look, as on the i10.

More economical than the Alto? I'll believe it when I see it. Even driven flat out, we got 15 km/l from the Alto 800cc and 13 km/l from the K10. driven conservatively in mixed driving, I've seen 23 km/l from the K10.

I might be getting an Eon after MIAS... quite excited to try an eco-run in this little car.

Finally, a car you can buy with a credit card.

so ito pala iyong naka 2 page full sized ads sa phil star kanina. akala ko i10 na relaunched or something hehe

[SpaceClav]

Ei hingi lang ako ng advise

I'm actually interested sa Eon after I saw the model sa MIAS, but the guys from hyundai told me that get the i10 instead because EON is a 3-cylinder model compared to the 4-cylinder i10. what's your opinion guys?

There's actually nothing wrong with the steering compared to other modern electric power steering systems. It actually feels decent and tracks straight on the highway.

Lubricant capacity is quoted at 2 liters or so. Still a far cry from the 4 liters I have to put into my car. And the engine bay, if you look inside, is perfect for DIY. Every adjustment bolt and sensor is within easy reach from up top. Only the oil filter might be a problem, but if you have a jack, you can reach it from underneath.

I think it says 1.4L for the engine oil capacity and a tad over 2L for transaxle oil. I also agree that most parts are within easy reach, which was surprising for such a small engine bay.
