Hyundai Eon launch in India on October 14th; Bookings Open
| The much awaited small car from Hyundai could be launched any time soon. According to AutocarIndia, the bookings for the car have been started on October 1st with the launch scheduled for October 14th. You must have seen the Hyundai Eon before when we brought you the first images of the car. The small car as we've seen is based on Hyundai's latest fluidic design philosophy and is striking to look at. Some reports suggest that the car could be priced around Rs 2.50 lakh which will put it directly in the league of the Maruti Suzuki Alto and the likes. The Eon does promise more room on the inside thanks to its higher roof line. This also gives it an edge over the Alto. That said, the engine that goes in the Hyundai Eon is a 800 cc three cylinder petrol unit that could churn out anywhere close to 50 bhp of maximum power. Hyundai Eon will be priced below the current most inexpensive offering from the Korean car maker, the Santro. The Tata Nano could be the other product that will rival the Hyundai. Although, the Nano is priced much lower than what the expected price of the Eon, it might not stand a chance against the bigger, more powerful Hyundai. That said, the recent incidents of fire involving the Nano hasn't helped the image of the car. All said, the Hyundai Eon could do with a diesel engine. Diesel powered cars have been the choice of many Indians since the government hiked the prices petrol. A small, inexpensive and reliable diesel car is what the average Indian family wants and could provide a further boost to the sales of the small car.
