subject: Hyundai To Launch New Model Eon Today In Delhi. [print this page] Even before its launch, the upcoming Hyundai Eon in India has created waves in the Indian automobile market. Entering the hatchback segment of the Indian auto market, Eon is another gem from Hyundai Motors, the South Korean automobile company. This auto manufacturer marked its entry in the domestic car market with the widely popular vehicle, Hyundai Santro, which has now run its course and will be replaced by the new Hyundai Eon.
Hyundai Eon launch date is expected to be around the second week of October 2011. The company has already commenced Eon bookings and has received an overwhelming response from the Indian audience so far. The hatchback has been customarily designed in such a manner that it is bound to gain an instant liking among Indian car buyers. Hyundai Motors took three years to manufacture the Hyundai Eon from the concept stage. This new hatchback is expected to not only replace Hyundai Santro but also to fill the void left by Maruti 800.
During the conceptualisation stage for the car, Hyundai Eon 2011 was called as Hyundai H800, reminiscent of Maruti's small car. The product's prototype had been seen testing in several parts of the country during the past year. The exterior construction of the new hatchback has done uniquely to render it a distinguished look. Exteriors of new Hyundai Eon have been inspired by the manufacturer's new Fluidic design. The overall height of the car has been lessen whereas the width has been extended, making it compact yet spacious.
With the launch of Hyundai Eon in India, the company is aiming to attract small car users who belong to nuclear families. There had always been huge demand for hatchbacks in India, but recently consumers have unanimously started to prefer hatchbacks over sedans. This change can be attributed to aspects like raging fuel prices and increased interest rates, due to which consumers have started preferring fuel efficient and affordable cars.
Hyundai Eon 2011 is expected to have the capacity to deliver an optimum performance with a 800 cc petrol engine and Multi Point Fuel Injection (MPFI) technology. Moreover, the engine promises to deliver favourable fuel economy of up to 20 kmpl and have very low carbon emission levels.
One of India's leading automobile companies, Hyundai has also made sure to grab maximum market with the help of a favourable pricing strategy. Consumers will not be disappointed with the expected Hyundai Eon price tag. Hyundai Eon price range in India is expected to fall between Rs. 2.75 to 3.75 Lacs, thus making it affordable for consumers.
Hyundai Eon is an innovative model that forms a complete package with its unique styling, favourable pricing and fuel economy. It is expected to become a threat to existing competitors as soon as it enters the market. The upcoming Hyundai Eon is expected to leave behind competitors like Maruti Alto, Chevrolet Beat, Volkswagen Polo and the higher priced Maruti Suzuki Swift. Although, Alto and Swift have reigned the hatchback segment for quite some time, this is expected to change with the launch of this car in India.
