Hyundai Eon User Reviews

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I own SPORTZ model. Space is excellent. Music system, EPSteering is Awesome. Very much comfortable while driving.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Extraordinary performacne. Fuel Economy is top in the class.

Ride Quality & Handling Great quality while driving. At 110 speed on 5th gear, you do n't feel any Vibration, sound. Wah: Hats off to Hyundai.

Final Words Earlier had MARUTI800. Booked EON SPORTZ on Sep 28th. Had first look on 07th Oct at AMRITSAR. Got my SPROTZ MODEL on 19th OCT. My children, wife & my self Love this EON Buddy very much. On road price was 4Lac at Amritsar. In this range with extraordianary features & 21.2 Millage, you can not get any other car. We are enjoying with our EON. It's worth to go for EON in this NEW ERA.

Areas of improvement NIL. Superb when compared to its competitors of this class.

Fabulous looks, Marvelous interiors, Great pick up.NIL

The car is wonderful and a good Value for Money. At entry level I couldn't find any car which can give me this much feature with all together. well-packaged interior boasts of generous levels of standard equipment it gives you keyless entry function with Sportz model with Front power window, driver air bag and front Fog lamp, what else you can get at this price on this level car? For me it's a superb car with excellent features. So go ahead and have this one for your family. The car I like specially for it's fluidic design and performance in city road. If you are driving regular and if the km is high for your daily driving, then I would suggest here is your dream car which can give you a excellent feature with great milage.

Exterior Superb.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Wonderful at this level car.

Ride Quality & Handling Well enough.

Final Words This car is wonderful.

Areas of improvement Engine displacement.

good style, driving feeling, interior and exteriorEngine displacement and gear vibration

Exterior The new concept of fluidic design in a small car gives a look of a premium car. I felt this to be the best design in <5L segment cars. The front triangular fog lamp and front and rear light were marvelous in design. This car is an actual competitor for B1 segment cars (A-star, Estilo, Santro etc) and its best compared to all B1 segment cars. Alto is nowhere comparable with Eon in terms of look. The small rear spoiler and micro roof antenna adds extra look. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The two tone beige interior, metalic finish and instrument panel makes car look better compared to the plasticy grey interiors of Maruti. The gear shift indicator helps to improve the fuel efficiency. The air-conditioner left me pleasantly surprised and Blower speed 2 is enough even in hot city like Chennai. The fronts seats comfort is good. The rear seats are bit narrower so accomodating 3 adults would be bit uncomfortable but far better than alto or Estilo. The rear leg room would be less if any person >5'10 height takes up front seat. The Boot space is good but it should be reduced so that the rear legroom can be increased. The 2 DIN music system gives a rich look and the speakers sound is also good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is bit unpowered with aircon on. It has less intial pickup with AC on and 4 people onboard and sounds coarse when revved hard. So need to change gears often in city drive but in highway its not a problem. Fuel effeiciency is excellent. I get 17 to 18 Kmpl with AC on, mixed city and highway ride and maximum speed of 100Kmph. In highways it gives 20+ garaunteed but the accelaration must be smooth and speed <=100Kmph. The worst mileage that i got was 13kmpl when i drove the car with hard accelaration and speed > 120Kmph. During hard accelaration the pick up would be superb as one would drive at higher RPM. The car does well till 140 Kmph. The only reason which made me think whether to buy Eon or not was the gear lever vibration but its not a problem and i have driven 7000kms and dint face any problem. The braking is excellent and do not wobble or skid at sudden braking.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quatilty is better compared to all A and B1 segment cars. The EPS is very sensitive and makes city drive easier but at speed > 120Kmph its over sensitive. The suspension is good. The stability is good till 120kmph but less when compared to my old Matiz and better than Maruti's.

Final Words Its really a most smart and beautiful hatchback, trouble free because of Hyundai's service station and value for money. My other cars in comparison when buying EON were Alto K10, Estilo, WagonR, A-star, Spark, Santro and they were no where near EON in overall performance.

Areas of improvement Gear lever vibration can be reduced and should be released in B1 segment as its feature and pricing are competitive to B1 segmant cars and not A segment(Alto, 800, Nano).

Exterior and interior design, fuel efficiencyLess pickup at lower RPM with AC on

I purchase Eon six months back. It is good looking car.It has same engine that of santro one piston removed. I have driven Alto, alto800, indica vista, beat, alto k10. But I love to drive eon in city.It returns average of 15km in city like Andheri with Ac. On highway it Returned me average of 19+ km with Ac 100%. Those who are confused go for EON instead of alto 800 as Space is more, looks good.It has Gear shift indicator for new learner driver. In city with traffic no car will return u this much high mileage. Till now I have not received any problems.i purchased it from sharayu Hyundai.First service was done at same place, they are the best service provider.

How to improve mileage:

1) For magna+ and sports tyre size is R13

Recommended air pressure is:33psi(1 to 2 passenger) 36psi(full load)

Tyre air pressure plays key role in getting mileage every month air pressure decrease by 2 psi. So every month air pressure check is required.

Normally Indian people dont check Tyre air pressure by gauge they do it by eyes or by kicking Tyre with leg.

2)Follow the gear shift indicator in eon for few days your average will definitely improve.

Follow both steps to get average.And ENJOY.

Fuel Filling habit : Fill the fuel early in morning or during night time as petrol gets easily vaporized at high temperature and save money and enjoy

Note: Normally people dont follow this steps and complain of less average if ARAI has certified car 21+ km It must return you 19+ with AC on highway.If you dont get average thats your driving fault.

For those who are concern about mileage You must go for Era or D-lite version as tyre are R12 145 similar to Alto, Wagon R and Estilo Tyre. Magna and sports version have R13 155. Tyre width counts a lot in mileage larger the width lower the mileage but better during turning and driving safety.

Care To Be Taken :If your car is brand new for first 1000km drive it below 80kmph So that higher RPM is no reached.Dont do plastic lamination matting as it is not water proof if water enter by mistake it cannot be removed and cause rusting of floor.

Car Stability Max speed at which I have driven this car is 145km/hr with 5 people on board the car is extremely stable even at this speed same feeling like Verna or SX4.

Exterior THIS IS THE BEST LOOKING CAR IN THIS SEGMENT, NO DOUBT. THOUGH SUBJECTIVE, I THINK IT IS BETTER THAN CARS WITH 1000CC ENGINES TODAY. BEAUTIFUL LARGE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LAMPS.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and comfort would depend on your build and where you would be travelling. we are average in built and all of 5ft 7in . for our family of three there is more than enough space. higher seating makes the back seat more comfortable than the alto.  adjusting the front seat for my driving position i found enough leg room in the rear.  The sportz model has enough features actually a few more than what my i 10 sportz ( the kappa 1 model) had. airbags for the driver, and fog lamps for example. The music system sounds good but there are only 2 front door mounted speakers though there is space to put 2 more speakers in the rear parcel shelf.

Small features that i liked- enough space for bottles and magazines. aux and usb ports right in front of you, a large space to put your mobile during charging. remote lock and central lock in sportz.

What I did not like- the ac controls are marked by very small red lines on the knobs. you would have to get your eyes off the road to look carefully and adjust the settings which is risky in city driving. the knob movements some how feel like not built to last. Boot space is as much as i10 which i think is great. it is a larger but a bit deeper than in the alto, meaning pulling out heavy bags might be a little more difficult, At least the sportz should have had rear defoggers.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is average but enough for city driving. slot it into the gear and release the clutch and expect a smooth take off--well this does not happen. you have to rev the engine a bit. The engine is fairly noisy if you rev hard. in the first and second gears even normal driving is a bit noisy. but saying that, raise the windows, switch on the music system and you would not be complaining about engine noise. The sound insulation is way better than alto.

The clutch is light, and the gears are easy to slot though a bit more notchy than i10 but better than alto.  the test car had done only 300 km and so was quite new, but the fact is that the ac does not make the engine feel as strained as in alto 800.

Ride Quality & Handling Good for city. I felt it bobs less than the i10 and is more comfortable than the alto. i did not do any spirited driving since i do not think this car is made for racerboys so i am not sure how it holds in corners at speed.

Final Words A very good car from hyundai. made for city driving and occasional out of town trips. it may be more expensive than the alto 800 but it costs to make curvaceous and appealing designed metal sheets and a good dash. maruti has earned back hundreds of times the money it spent on desigining and is still selling alto thanks to its wonderful k series engine and reliability and service centers. eon does offer a lot more features than alto which as a car itself should make it a better choice.

Areas of improvement Rear defoggers and 2 airbags are more important than fog lamps and remote locking as safety features and should be offered at least as a option that can be ordered. some customers would not mind paying a little more for safety.

Style, features,Engine noise at high revs

Exterior Very very stylish and cute

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Cannot be compared with any other car of this range as it has got very nice interior. Seating comfort is also good despite the size, even in the back seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is quite good and gives a smooth drive and a fuel economy of 19kmpl. Gear shifting is good but the lever vibration makes a little disturbance. I had gone through a ghat section where I could get a satisfatory drive with my new car. Even after having a drive of 600km, I didn't feel tiring.

Ride Quality & Handling Its very simple to handle in busy traffic and I like its small turning radius.

Final Words Very good alternative to ALTO and it worths. You will love its style and comfort which you may not get in small segment cars.

Areas of improvement If avoid the gear lever vibration, there is nothing to improve in this small segment car.

Style and comfortNothing specific

Exterior The exterior is just amazing the concept of fludic design is really visible. size & design is much better then any other car in this segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Two tone interior really makes u feel rich & comfortable. visiblity all around is really good, AC works fantastic. also the seats are very comfortable for new drivers like me. the over all stearing controls are very smooth & easy to control during drive.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 814CC, 3 cylinder is ok for better milage but should have built with 4cylinder 1000CC engine. Gear box is vibrating all the time but not to much engine noise inside.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is very smooth, engine noice not big problem, suspensions are really well designed & perfet for family car like this.

Final Words I am in love with EON it's my first car & really won my heart.

Areas of improvement Engine Specs, gear box, EORVM, Rear power window, boot space.

Fantastic looks, interior quality, fully loaded features, milage, priceShould have built with 4cylinder 1000CC engine.

Nice little city car ...quite stylish and fancy at that price range...dont look for performance of a switft or a honda city...but pretty good for what you pay for...its a nice little city car with good fuel economy...and looks better than an entry level car...driving exprience is moderately good if not superb...nd yes, u dont epect it not to shake driving at 80-100kmph...it will shake ...all hatchbac segment cars below 5lacs do shake a little at that speed...Remember, its important to look for features like power steering, power windows, central lock, inbuilt music system which the sportz variant offers.

Buy this. If u are looking not to burn your pocket. I have good fuel economy and most of yr travel needs are around city limits. If you are looking for luxury comfort, a great horsepower for performace and pickup or drivign long distances often, this might not be your car

just my 2 cents..good luck.

Good Stylish Hyundai waves on exterior, Nice fancy dashborad in Sportz version, Good FuelLess Spacious rear seats

Good best mileage 21 and price also I got low price driving is also smooth good driving 5000 km 7 days best on car looking so good service and maintenance also low price I really like it.
