Hyundai Eon User Reviews

Exterior No Doubt the best in small car segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good can be rated 3.5 for 5.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the part which is tricky. Engine is smooth and really never had (even a day) any issue with the engine.AWESOME PERFORMANCE.  I also did a Long drive (800Kms) Its very different than earlier Eon cars (model 2012) and much better. However the pickup while AC is on is very Bad. I can tell even on the normal Road (not inclined roads like Ghat sections) the pickup is bad while AC is on. Without AC the pull is very good.  BHP is 55 bhp @ 5500 RPM, however not sure why is the pickup so normal!

Ride Quality & Handling Very Good.

Final Words My experience with a long drive and 10,000 Kms drive was a fun and had a very good experience . Worth buiying this car!!! Forget about the old Eons which were bad (like 2012 Models). Hyundai has taken care of all complaints and come up with right Car.

Areas of improvement Fuel efficiency is not so good (I generally get 16KM/Liter), not so good.  Pickup when AC is on is not so good. need to be taken care of.

Smooth Engine ,overall good performanceNot so good Milage and pickup (with AC on)

Exterior Without a thought, its the most stylish looking car in its category, especially appealing to the younger crowd.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors have an upmarket feel about them, the 2 tone interiors offer a refreshing change from those seen in the Alto. While front legroom seems to be ok, rear legroom as well as shoulder room seems to be deficient. 3 adults would be a tight squeeze at the back. Boot space seems good enough for a car of these dimensions.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox While quite manageable for drives within the city, overtaking other vehicles is an issue. The engine lacks the grunt & power to effortlessly overtake while driving in the 4th gear. There is a lot of jerkiness experienced while shifting up from 1st to 2nd gear, which the according to the service centre guys is an inherent problem with 800 cc engines. 

Ride Quality & Handling Due to the tiny 12 inch wheels on D-lite+ variant, the bumps & potholes on the road are easily felt. Quite nimble while tackling corners & the power steering is very responsive, thereby resulting in ease of parking in tight spaces as well.

Final Words Its a perfect compact car for any first time buyer, looking to drive mainly in the city itself, well suited for a small family of a couple & 2 kids. 

Areas of improvement The engine could have packed in some extra punch, rear legroom needs to be improved. I feel both the driver & passenger side ORVMs should be offered as standard fitment on all cars.

Stylish exterior, upmarket look of the interiors, decent boot space, responsive power steering,Rear legroom, no passenger ORVM (on D-lite+ model), jerks while shifting gears

Exterior Extrior is good. Eon always looks good than Maruti Alto 800. Especially my car is white in color. And surprising that white color car appears  big compared to other colors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is comfortable for 5 persons including driver. If passengers at rear seat are very fat or healty then only may feel uneasy. Luggage cargo for petrol only version is quite big. If LPG opted then LPG kit and LPG tank may occupy 30 percent space of cargo. Rear seat is foldable it is good feature if more material to carry.Leg room is spacious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is powerful we drived  Eon with 5 passengers  through ghats and highways . Engine feels comfortable. Eon has 56 BHP maximum power considered  against with 45 BHP of Maruti alto 800. That's why we can get milage less than Maruti alto 800 by 2 to 3 kilometers per liter.We tested Eon at 120 KM/hour speed for 2 minutes to test the vibration. but it found very strudy. I run 500 km within one month. Milage i got about 17 to 18 Km/liter.

Ride Quality & Handling Riding is pleasant . But as I read in earlier review Gear lever vibrates when we starts the engine. But not found any issue in driving.

Final Words Eon can be purchased in rather different views as we traditionally follows Maruti. It is good car.

Areas of improvement Hyundai Ltd should make spares  cheapeer as compared with Maruti.People rush to Maruti because of cheap spares and huge service and spares back up. No doubt if well taken cared hyundai cars does not need part replacement over the years. But people afraid of repaire costs.

Good style ,comfort, sturdy on road, Good storage cargoEon not provided clock which is essential

It's so excellent performance car. Also we are goes to the long tour like 500,600 KM for enjoying. It's so beautiful look and good performance. Service is so excellent and maintenance are not so costly.

Final Words A good choice for middle class family who are looking for a car below 4lakhs. The only advice I would like to give you all is, understand that this is a small car with just 824cc. So you dont feel power like an i10 or santro. This car has its own limitations. But trust me this is the best car among all the cars available in the market for this price. Its interior is not congested like in Maruti 800, Alto etc. 5 people can travel comfortably in this car. AC is also good. But you will not feel power while driving with AC on. But this is common in all cars below 800cc.

Areas of improvement We can feel engine vibrations in the gear box. This need to be fixed as almost every customer is complaining about the same.

Stylish interior and exterior, Good comfort, good fuel economyEngine vibrations in gear box

Exterior I have a blue EON and i guess this is one of the best colours in this car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It has a sufficiently good boot space, and for 4 people its pretty roomy the AC is very powerful, my hand get numb after few minutes 😄.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Power is pretty low when you are in the 2 nd gear and it requires frequent gear shifting beacause of that but once you are in a higher gear it will just not feel like a 800 cc car, my car currently gives 18kmpl in city traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth drive and  maneuverable.

Final Words If you compare eon with other cars in the same category like alto 800 and spark then definately eon will score above them it terms of better space, comfort and performance. If its your first car then this is a good choice.

Areas of improvement They could have a higher engine capacity and the price could be more competitive.

Sporty exterior, classy interior, good AC, mileageLess powerful

Exterior

 Exterior looks promising and muscular in this budget car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior is well designed and the material used is top notch.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The Main Cons with this car is Engine, Gearbox and Pickup of the car. 

Though I am using a Petrol variant (D-Lite+) we can hear lot of noise from engine as similar to Diesel engines. 

There is lot of vibration to the gear box and I personally feel that this is common in all small cars.

Major drawback with this car is when shifting down the gears from 3rd to 2nd, engine feels difficult to get the pick up as required. We need to use the clutch multiple times (atleast twice) for engine to respond. That's a Big minus. I drove Hyundai Xcent as well and observed the same response. This might be the issue across all cars from Hyundai, but I am not sure.

Shifting of Gears is very smooth when compared with its rival - Alto.

Fuel Economy is average. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is above average and we can't expect more in this segment of cars. 

Final Words

 Can go for this car if you are :

> New to drive a car

> Purchasing a car for the first time after learning.

Areas of improvement  

 Need to be improved at the engine side and should feel like we are driving a petrol car but not a diesel car (regarding noise)

I am using Hyundai eon D-lite+ more than six years. It doesn't give me any kind of problem till now. The driving comfort is very good. Interior is very good. The paint and exterior looks like as just taken out from showroom. Performance is still good. I am enjoying the driving. The other compititors cars quality and performance are not as good as eon.

Exterior Great exterior, way ahead of time. Thus makes the car look sporty bit up in the class factor. Fluidic design really makes it stand in its class.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Biege interior and console is again great far from alto 800. Yes quite furturistic not the old boring same. as u start engine console lights and its like digital (fuel meter).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Only one month of ownership but fuel economy good 17 before 1st service at highway bit less at city but still good good and the myth of gear vibrations at low speed is busted for me at least as there was none.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality good for me and power steering is crisp. Yeah comparing its price. c'mon its not a benz or bmw or Audi.

Final Words All in all value for money. Good entry level car.

Areas of improvement Please HYUNDAI CEO let there be 3rd party spare part makers.

Great looks and mileage and engine performance at this priceSpare part costs are high
