Hyundai will commence bookings of its upcoming small car, the Eon from tomorrow. The Eon will be locally manufactured at the company’s facility at Sriperumbudur near Chennai and will have a starting price of Rs. 2.5 lakhs for the base variant (which lacks power steering).

The Korean automaker will launch the Hyundai Eon around the 14th of October and delivers are expected to start by the 20th of October.
“Hyundai is committed to offer products with advanced technology to the Indian market. All our products confirm to global quality standards. We are confident that the Eon will set a new benchmark in the Indian market with regard to styling, performance, safety and convenience. The car will provide the best-in-class design, quality and technology to our customers,” H W Park, MD and CEO, Hyundai India, said.
