Eon Test Drive Disappoints

Exterior My experience was related to the test drive that i had yesterday. The car was stunning from the outside and while looking at the car has raised the bars of my expectations about the car. The exterior was cool, better than alto to compare. The build quality of the car was ok but it was not designed for complete safety incase of an accident.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors were made of good plastic, but the doors were too light. They had a compromise on the quality of the car. The leg room at the rear was not that good and three at the back is very difficult. Less space at the rear and also at the front.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine was also not so good and powerful. There were lot of vibrations on the gear box when the car was running and also the shifting of gears was not so smooth. I was really disappointed with the engine performance and the gear shift. i also doubt the mileage that they are quoting. An 814cc car offering 17 kmpl for a petrol variant is not so great.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality was not good. There was a lot of noise from the engine, simlar to a nano  but better than that.

Final Words Hyundai Eon is not worth the price. Instead Santro/ alto is a far far better option than this. Quality is compromised.

Areas of improvement Can improve on the engine performance. Not worth for the price it offers.
