About the Hyundai Eon
Launched in 2011, the Hyundai Eon was a strategic entry-level hatchback developed primarily for the Indian and emerging markets to compete with the Maruti Suzuki Alto. It featured Hyundai's 'Fluidic Sculpture' design language, giving it a more modern and premium appearance than its utilitarian rivals. The 0.8-litre three-cylinder Epsilon engine was tuned for maximum fuel efficiency rather than performance, making it a popular choice for first-time car buyers. While it lacked advanced safety features, its compact dimensions and light steering made it an ideal tool for navigating congested city streets.

Hyundai Eon fun facts
- The Eon was designed jointly by Hyundai's R&D centres in Namyang, South Korea, and Hyderabad, India, specifically to meet local market needs.
- Despite its budget positioning, the Eon featured a 'Fluidic' interior design that was significantly more stylish than other cars in the A-segment at the time.
- The Eon was eventually discontinued in 2019 because it could not be economically updated to meet the stricter Bharat Stage VI emission and safety regulations.
