Hyundai Eon: interior, exterior and brochure pics, specs and features!

There is hardly anything about the Hyundai Eon that remains to be exposed. Pictures from every angle, including interior, specs, features and variants – everything is out in the open. Except, of course the price. Here’ a compilation of most of the information you are looking for on this entry level petite car from Hyundai

The Eon features a swept back, ‘tapering-towards-the-fender’ set of headlamps with bulged curvatures creating a popped-out eye effect for the Eon front’s end. The chrome grille with the Hyundai emblem forms the top part of Hyundai’s hexagonal family grille, which at the bottom surrounds the central air dam. The meaty bumper has been shaped rather sportily at the bottom, and has place for two triangular fog lamps.

The Eon will have exceptionally flared and muscular wheel arches for its category, which frankly is a bit of overkill for us. The area at the bottom of the doors has been scooped to create a trough above the door sills. While the front window goes after the usual design, the aft portion of the rear window’s sill has been given a kink to make the car look sportier in profile. There is a crease that goes after the window’s sills, embarking from the upper portion of the tail-lamps and ending into the headlamps, forming the shoulder line of the car in the process.

Two phat, vertical bat-shaped tail-lamps accomplish the look at the rear for the Eon. The rear windshield is U shaped, while the tail-gate with a rather high loading lip has a horizontal crease at the bottom, merging into the curvature of the tail-lamps. The rear bumper matches its front counterpart in terms of size, and comprises a substantial portion of the rear fender’s massive girth, which, as we mentioned earlier, is a tad too much for a car this size to carry elegantly. The Eon’s rear also features a roof mounted spoiler with a stop lamp. This feature should be available only in the top variant tho’.

In the very first ever spy pictures of its cabin, the Eon also gives away its interiors to a large extent. By the very first look, the black beige combo and the overall quality looks appreciable. The layout, the materials used and the overall turnout of the interiors is a cut above the rest of the cars in the segment. The Eon will have an open storage space forming the left portion of the dashboard above the glove compartment. The three spoke steering wheel is fresh, and so is the entire center console / instrument cluster. The center console will be a fresh design altogether with music system as a standard fitment in the top of the line variant. The music system will support USB/AUX-in. From what we can see, the instrument cluster will have a big dial for the speedo with a gear shift indicator.

The center console and the instrument cluster will be green blacklit. There will be two cupholders ahead of the gear shifter and there would also be some space in the doors for a petite bottle and documents. Space in the boot too, as eveident from the pictures is more than sufficient for a car this size.

The Eon will target the Maruti Suzuki Alto as its primary rival, and will attempt to match the volumes of the largest selling car in India. The Korean carmaker plans to price the Eon inbetween Rs. Trio.0 to Three.Five lakh. At that price, the Eon would truly catch the fancy of lakhs of puny car buyers, especially as it is a Hyundai, and the brand holds fine value and respect among the buyers in the puny car segment. The overall quality, size and equipment levels of the Eon clearly seem to outclass the Alto in the very first look.

The Eon will be powered by an all-new 814cc, 3-cylinder engine with fifty four bhp of peak power and 76.Five Nm of torque. The Eon is expected to produce an ARAI certified fuel efficiency of 21.1kmpl, which is slightly more than the Alto’s 20.Two kmpl. The Eon will also have driver side airbag, power windows for the front passenger, manual A/C and power steering. The car will rail on thirteen inch wheels (12 inch for lower variants) and will be shod with 155/70 tyres (145 /80 for the base variants) . The Eon variants will go after the i10’s nomenclature pattern and will be introduced in Era, Magna and Sportz trims.
