Final Words Maruti Suzuki enjoys a current market share of 48.74% amidst many global players clobbering Indian market. This was possible because, it had first mover advantage in each of the car segments with hot selling products like Maruti 800 (not for sale in 13 cities) and other cars like Maruti Esteem & Maruti Zen which is not available currently in market. But MUL could comfortably enjoy its dominance with leading market share with products like Swift and Alto, which is MUL’s global top selling product and top selling car in India. Both Esteem and Zen were stopped by MUL not because it was a failure product but due to saturation of markets. The same might happen to Alto with the entry of new cars in A2 segment.

Now MUL is slightly facing the heat from its direct competitor Hyundai Motors after the launch of Eon in its A2 segment category. Eon which is priced 3.16 Lacs (ex-show room price) is equated just little high next to alto which is 2.89 Lacs (ex-show room price). There was slight slowdown Alto’s booking and sales ever since HMIL announce the launch of its new product Eon.

Alto had a strong presence in the market for more than a decade and its shape is slightly outdated with new small cars like Spark, Beat, Polo, Micra entering Indian market. Preference towards Alto by the younger generation is gradually declining for the past two years because of its out dated shape. That’s one of the reasons for MUL to come up with re-design of Alto with better interior and exterior looks and K series engine.

Though Eon has a stylish fluidic design and dual tone interior designs, its build quality is not convincing compared to Alto. The added feature in Eon is it has self colored bumper which is not available in Alto. Alto’s engine cc is 796 and Eon is 814 cc, which results in better engine performance and driving comfort. The power of Eon is 56 PS which again ahead of Alto’s 47 PS. HMIL claims Eon’s mileage to be 21.7 KMPL, whereas MUL claims 19.73 KMPL. Each and every component is well targeted by HMIL and Eon has been designed and positioned with better quality parameters. HMIL plans to produce 1.5 lac cars per year as the demand for the small segment car is expected to increase in the future. Alto K-series has slightly better parameters compared to Eon.

While Hyundai’s products are known for better ride quality and smooth drive, MUL is the most trusted brand in Indian car market. Maruti Suzuki ranks No.1 in terms of after sales service and has largest number of dealers and service centers around India. In case of breakdown and availability of spares on highways and rural areas, Maruti is the preferred brand among Indian drivers. Though the production of Maruti Esteem, Zen (old model) and Baleno has been stopped its spare parts are still available in all regions where other manufacturers doesn’t have proper distribution setup of their genuine spare parts.

LOOKS ,PERFORMANCEHEIGHT

I bought the eon after a test drive, and liked it initially. However, only after a week or so, I started experiencing problems. The gearbox starts vibrating, and this makes it feel like a really poorly-built car. The interior, although it looks good and polished initially, quickly starts to fall apart. The car shakes, and so does the interior plastic.

The handling is sluggish, and the pickup is even worst. This car's specs look good on paper, but do not be fooled, it gains speed like an snail. I turn on the AC, and the performance is even worst!

I feel that I spent most of the money only on the looks, and not upon the internals. If I had done more researching, I would have gone for the Alto 800, or even the NANO.

In the end, I guess it was my fault for buying a car only on the looks. I should have looked at the quality of the parts.

If you have guests, and would like to impress them or something, this car would do nicely. Just don't drive it with your family.

Didn't find many things to like except the looks, but even they can only go so farlisted in more detail below...

A small family car that meets all day to day needs of a small family. That is eon. I had purchased eon for my sis on may 2018. Actually I was planning to buy alto k10 Amt for her as we are facing a lot the hurdles of bumber to bumber traffic daily. But she said she like to have a car like eon. So I test drove it and purchased it. But unlike my expectations the car was awesome. Engine power is good, suspension set up is good and comfort is also good. Interior space is of a bit concern. But still it is managable to a family of 3 or 4. Pro : Engine performance, mileage, manuverability, comfort Cons : Price, interor space, service cost

Nice car with great comfort and good mileage and nice to use and a good family car. I am used for last 1 year and a good family car and low maintenance with a great experience. I love this car.

I'm using this car since 2013, still, I'm satisfied with car performance my odo reading is 1.5 Lakh Km. This car is very comfortable for a middle-class family who are riding without ac also. Because while turning the ac on the engine pickup will down a little bit. And the body parts as we know not that much stronger and not suitable for highway rides. Hyundai maintenance is cheaper compared to other companies so service is pocket-friendly. Overall looks of exterior and interior are good it's .8L engine I'm using so riding is not much easier in full load condition for Single or couples is ok. Overall it's the value of money.

This is an awesome experience in my life. This car is very comfortable for Family. If you are looking for a car. This is my proposal to buy Eon only Because this car maintenance value is very low. I am very grateful for my father for buying this car for me.

 

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fair.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words Price is very Competitve & this car will really like by first car buyers. Boot space is better than alto. Look & Style is also better than alto. Exterior is mixed with a design of Beat & I10. But overall i like this car & hope this will do better sale than alto. Hyundai have really done good job for considering the Requirement of Middle class first car buyers. So i would suggest that before buying alto or spark please think too Eon. I would also buy this car . I like Era model it is price competitive & all the upper model features. Maruti have to think over it & try to improve alto exterior & interior , so that it can withstand with Eon. I hope Eon will Make its record sale.

Exterior....

Exterior Very Good Compared to other small segment cars,lack of graphics.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good in space ,decent luggage space,better cross check ur car at the time of delivery,make sure u check all the features mentioned that the company is giving and the dealer's is at the time of delivery.(They cheat a lot).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Compared to maruti ,as it is loosing its ranking,but only known for its customer service is not what people want,we are looking at the "small family car",basically focused on Milage and looks with better luggage space,which i believe Eon has as far as the other cars are concerned.

Ride Quality & Handling Easy to handle, good turning radius,not that good pick-up while the A/C is on but one has to compramise you just cant get everything for less price.

Final Words Good.

Areas of improvement CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LACK OF SERVICE CENTRE.

Good to Beat the Monopoly Market (Maruti)Bad Customer service befor sales.

Exterior : The looks are true head turner. Does not looks like a small segment car at all. the fuidic design resembles i20.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The space on dash board on left side is very handy. 2 toned dashboard looks amazing. Plenty of space on boot. I am 6.1' but sitting iside give a enough space to stretch legs and enough space on top so as my head does not touches the roof. Although rear has some space crunch but mangeable

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox. Gear vibrates but can be overlooked not a big problem. Power is fine while driving without AC but sometimes engine knocks while AC is on. considering 800CC maybe the power is less. LPG capacity is written 34 Litres but goes only 19 Ltrs. Wondering why so less. Mileage is still not calculated as first service is due but approxmately 14-15 Km per litre.

 

Ride Quality & Handling

Driving is smooth with wonderful power steering movement.

 

Final Words : much better than Alto and A-Star, Zen Estilio etc.
