    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

     

     City : Pune

     

    I got my Eon Era+ on 14th Sep13.

     

    Exterior

     

    Everybody can see it and exterior is good.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

     

    Interior and seating is good. I am 5.7 so it is good for me. Rear seat width and height is better than Alto800. Rear seat has small head support. Due to comfort i chose EON over Alto800.Gear change indicator is good option.

     

     

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

     

     

    For first week : i filled 800rs petrol(approx 9.5 liters) at that time my first fuel light was blinking and when it stated blinking again my meter was showing approx 80 kms. Sometimes i used AC also.It means approx 9KM/L mileage. Mostly i drove in my society on open roads but it was semi learning phase for me as a driver as i was driving after a long time. I was very sad to see this, i started reading reviews online and found other people are also getting 10KM/L. I thought i made a bad decision by preferring EON over Alto.

     

     Second Week: I again filled 500 Rs petrol(approx 6 liters) while first fuel indicator was blinking. For two days i went to office one side (22KM) so total 88 KM and some small trips nearby. In morning while going to office there was very less traffic and i drove mostly in 3rd and 4th gears. While returning at 7-8pm roads were packed traffic was at its peak, mostly i drove in 1,2 and 3rd gears(Sometimes 4th also).  I didn't use AC but sometimes used only AC fan. so i covered 90+Kms in 6 liters means approx 15-16 KM/L mileage.

     

    Morning less traffic and evening full traffic, so we can say average city traffic. Now i was little relieved regarding mileage. I am hopeful that i would get 21-22 KM/L on highways w/o AC. I have also heard that mileage improves after 2-3 sevices.

     

    One thing i read about gear knob vibrations, in my car it never vibrates. Sometimes i feel difficulty in changing gears but Hyundai say it will be smoother after few days and service.

     

    For better mileage, i suggest do not keep your foot on clutch while driving unless it is required.

     

     Final Words

     

    I preferred EON due to its better space and specially rear seat comfort. If you are ok with Alto800 rear seat and height, you can choose alto with company fitted CNG.

     

     

    Areas of improvement  

     

    Better suspension.

     

    I am not able to see bonnet, i prefer bonnet visibility for confident driving.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Seating and comfort far better than Alto800800 CC engine, less power
