Hyundai Eon User Reviews

Exterior Highly Appreciable. I have been in love with this car for the last 1 month from the day I did a test drive. Wonderful car.

I got the car delivered on  Friday and from then I have driven almost 350Km. The initial experience is wonderful. I would advise everyone looking quality and value addition in owning a car to go for Hyundai Eon. I have got a prestine blue Era+. Wonderful experience from the day one. In the traffic signal people look at the car with jelous. I loved driving the car upto mysore. The road grip is excellent. Eventhough I do not prefer this car for speed lovers, it is a wonderful car with admirable power. I am not a racing person, so I drove the car to an fro bangalore from Mysore in about 90KM /Per hour. I would say that the car had excellent grip and control during the drive. However I did not test at 110KM speed, even though my friends said to have done a good test of the same.

Over all a wonderful car for a family of 4-5. You would love to be in the driving seat if you own one. All the best my friends.

Fuel Economy, Interiors, AC, Exterior Design and availability of wonderful colorspoor pickup [but not bad.], rear leg room

Exterior

 I took the delivery of  Eon Era+, White Color, on 3rd June 2013. In fact, after making study about different car makers such as Maruti & Tata, I mean Alto800 and Nano, I opted for EON. Comparatively the Looks is modern and the curves are great looking, you have the feel of higher end cars with its look such as Micro Roof Antena, integrated spoiler with neon lights, good visiblity of head and tail lamps, etc., 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very rich and posh interiors, my wife and son love to be seated inside and my self as driver had the feel of driving a sedan class with rich features in build. Leg room is great in front and not bad in rear too. Two can be seated very much comfortably in the rear however three will be slightly cramped. AC is very chill and cools in minutes. The dash board, door mouldings and the seats is of premium quality.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Contrary to several other user reviews I had not felt any vibrations either inside of the car or on the gear box, it is very much smooth and once you crank the engine you dont even feel that the car engine is on unless you slightly accelarate to understand the engine is already on. I mean to say the engine is so smooth and the gear box too is very smooth. I have not tested the mileage yet as I just filled in the tank and had driven only few hundred kilometers, however confident will get the mileage assured. However the mileage depends on individual driving habits.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Of course being 814 CC engine you need to adjust your driving style comparative to driving higher CC cars. Belive me the MDPS Steering is excellent and with little effort you can turn around the steering wheel. Also manouvering is very much good being small car. I love driving on high ways and this car performs equally good both off and on high ways. Road Visibilty is too good.

Final Words

 As it is individuals perception, but however comparative to Nano, Alto 800, this car (Eon) is sure bet in style, looks and most importantly the performance. Also pricing of the car is very much competetive to Alto 800. considering feature rich options available in Eon. The car is real value for money considering quality products being used inside/outside the car.

Areas of improvement  

Hyundai must make it mandatory that all its cars have the Passenger Side Outside Rear View Mirror and  Should have variant with the Rear Wash Wiper, as mother god showered her blessings with heavy rain fall on the day I took delivery and I felt little inconvenient in the absence of the Rear Wash and Wiper. Also should remove the bias of having small wheel size of 12 inches  in Dlite & Era and should be standard with wheel size of 13 inches across all variants. It will provide more confidence while driving.

 

Modern Styling, Excellent Interiors, Good Features, Fuel Economy,Rear Wash & Wiper not available, Passenger ORVM is must

Exterior: Exterior is stylish.. I checked the Maharaja Red and Mashroom colors, they are awesome. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): I love the interior... Fluid look is awesome.. Very space and comfort, Its cabin height is really good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Its 800CC enginer, you will easily understand its capacity while crossing 40kms speed... upto 60kms speed, we can drive comfortably..

Gear vibration is horrible... Like other customer's review, its hazard to safety and health, Hyundai should rectify this.. Else, it will gain only bad image... Its still not resolved even in 2012 make car. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very good...

Final Words

EON is good car, but not worth for hard earned money... Either Hyundai should correct the problems or reduce the cost... otherwise, buyer at his/ her own risk.. 

Areas of improvement  

Gear vibration need to be rectified, else, its waste of money and life long regret... 

 

Excellent Interior, Stylish look, Smooth drivingGear vibration is horrible

All excellent car. Very good Hyundai Eon money safe.. good family car. I like the Hyundai brand. Smooth driving. City 19 kilometre per litre. Nice performance, servicing and maintenance low cost,

I took the car on 16th Feb'2012. Eon is all about looks only - wheather interior or exterior. Fluidic desing makes looks very good in all angles.

This is petrol engine and you can clearly feel engine noise/vibration all the time, very disappointing. In city driving condition, gear shifting rod (gear shaft) always shakes even though gear shifting happenes smoothly. Leg space on back seat is OK not very great, however it is comfortable and is not as bad as many other claimed.

Mileage - I drove it to my hometown (approximate 300 km) on national highway NH9 which is in good condition. Gave 15.6 km/lit on highway with A/c on. City - 14-15 km/lit. I totally disagree with Hyudai's claim of 21.1 km/lit. Showroom guys have claimed that after 1st servicing it may go up by 1-2 km/lit.

About dealer - I took it from Talwar in Hyderabad. I felt there after sale service is very good. I met with small accident and they provided me every possible support. Also Hyudai break down service is good in Hyderabad.

Overall, NOT great value for money.

Good looking, good interiorEngine vibration, vibrating gear shaft, mileage on paper only

Exterior

 looks are the only and ONLY positve side. that too to the taste of some youngsters. metal sheet wud go in in case you press it a little hard. cant see much in the much on the rear view mirror though.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

poor back seat legroom and headroom. seat material is good. dash board is good. steering looks fine. though accelerator is not very comfortably designed. you hear inside strange noise on even a small pots.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 perhaps the worst of all classes. 10-11km/litre in city, 13 highway mileage. gearbox shakes like a tractor, feeling of engine pulling car back, jerks often on AC or even otherwise; and gear ratio very low.

Ride Quality & Handling

 very average

Final Words

 dont buy this car at all

Areas of improvement  

 fuel economy, gear box, ride quality, engine smmothness

 

only looksv low mileage, jerks, gear vibrations, pull back feeling

Exterior

 look wise a mini raja, the car is tall boy it accomodated about 6 feet driver 120kg weight easily. Even figo suffers for this built driver

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 interior has small rattlings and noise insulation is poor. COnfirmatable to drive

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine and gear is just ok. FE is very good.. you will get 20 minimum

Ride Quality & Handling

 handling is  ok for a small car, ride quality is very bumpy

Final Words

 if you are on a budget and wanted to go for this sengment 800cc then go blindly for eon. I drove all 800cc class vehicles. EON is a gem car. The one close alternative is kwid. The look is good but engine and built quality is very very inferior. The body gets lot of dents even if a kid bangs it

Areas of improvement  

 fit and finish, plastic materials etc

I suggest to go for eon and never consider any other vehicle in this class. Alto may have best engine and kwid may have best space but Eon is a combination of all goods. ..

Space -Kwid > EON > ALto

Engine - ALto > EON > Kwid

quality of materials - Alto > EON > Kwid

Service center - Renault < Hyjndai < Maruthi

For drivers EON > Kwid > Hyndai

The reason i said eon is better for drivers is there is no knee pain. Whereas kwid and alto you need to fold you knee. This is tall boy more or less to wagonr.

 

look is great, fuidic, pricing is cheap.Quality of car esp plastic outside and sheet used is inferior

Engine power is not good, can't overtake in top gear while using AC Overall performance is ok but the engine should be more powerful as compared to others one. Exterior and interior are as usual as per price.

Exterior Decent, Looks like Younger brother of i10.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are decent as per model, Space in issue, its a 2x2 seater. 5th person will face comfort issues.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine, cant compaint about because its 800 CC however maruti 800 can be a better performer then Eon. Fuel i would say 16KMPL in City and 18KMPL on straight highway and 10-12 on Hilly Areas.

Ride Quality & Handling Quality Poor doesnt feel like you are driving a hyundai. handling is again an issue. on 3 deck speed breakers, car misses the road at a speed of 20KMPH.

Final Words You should be the car only & only of you want to use it in city areas. You will regeret it big time if you take this small baby on hills or hilly roads. I drove this baby from Chandani Chowk Pune to Lavasa Hill City with a family of 4. Total Run 75kms both side. It took 7 liters of petrol. You cannot even put the car in 3rd Gear. This small baby cant even pull herself on 2nd gear on a 20 Degree hill road wihout AC. When i drove it was raining means i needed AC. This pieace of crap dint allow me to even put 3rd gear. while climbing ghats with AC in the Rain 2nd gear is considered as top gear and another big issue is Fog ! AC speed at 5 still this car cannot clean her glass. I Paid 4 lakhs for this car which is usefull only on city roads.

Areas of improvement Gear Box is rough speacially 2 gear. Doesnt Clear her glasses while its raining tho AC speed is 5 ! value for money ? No not at all.. its better to increase your budget by 20% and go for i10 or Swift.
