Which is the Best Car: Hyundai Eon vs Maruti Alto? Please compare
81
This is a critic of “Which is a Better Car - Hyundai Eon or Maruti Alto. Compare” that is done by another car reviewer, Gagan, at mycarhelpline.com. Actually Gagan raised a few points on my hub "Hyundai Eon Vs Alto K10 Vs i10 Vs Santro" to which I have given a few answers that “why people love Eon more than Alto”. Anyone wanting to start a discussion regarding this comparison and critic can do this via the comment box below the SHARE IT button of this page. Here we go:
Hello Gagan, regarding your point #8 in the above comparison:
“Hyundai Eon got Fluidic-stylish looks compared to Maruti Alto while this can be judgmental also and subject to ones own purview” is the main point why Hyundai Eon will sell like hot cakes.
Remember time has changed and there is more recognition and appreciation to appeal, style, exteriors, and other things. Eon is the car of "YOUNG" people who want more style, power, performance all packed up in a single car. By young, I don’t mean only people between 17 to 30 years of age but it is about anyone even a person who is 60 years of age but is more stylish and innovative. More curvy looks are in rather than FLAT exteriors of Alto.
One point that you have not mentioned in your comparison of Eon and Alto K10 is that Eon cannot compete with Maruti on price. There is a 40 k difference in base models of both cars and Eon is costly by 40000 INR which is a huge difference from first time car buyer's perspective. If the base model of Eon had been 239,000 lacs instead of present 269,000 lakhs INR, a whole bunch of Maruti's share would have been lost permanently until and unless Maruti comes up with a more stylish Alto or some other model in comparison of Eon in the future but this has not happened as Hyundai’s purpose is not to cut back on Maruti’s share but they have read and surveyed the mentality of Indian minds better than Maruti’s by developing Eon.
Hyundai has understood the real need of people. If they would have thought of just developing a car that can simply outperform Alto, they would have simply priced it at 225000 lakhs INR. This is the difference between the mentality of Hyundai and Maruti. By this, I don’t mean to underestimate Maruti as it is still the unbeatable leader in Indian auto industry due to its vast network of service centers, better customer care, on-time delivery, and unique used car exchange platforms like True Value which brings in more and more loyal customers in. Also a thing like True Value does not exist with any other car brand in India. Maruti is unique in that.
Plus the most important thing is that I own an Alto and I know about the CRAMPED INTERIORS and ANCIENT STYLE of this car. Just like thousands of Alto users in India, I was waiting for Maruti to launch a car which can be around 30000 INR or more costly but should be packed with style, performance, better maneuverability, and space unlike like present day Alto. Maruti needs to be innovative with its entry level cars also like it is doing with Ritz and Swift. If this can be achieved which I think is not a very far fetched dream, then Maruti will remain as a leader of entry level cars in India.

Yes Chevy Spark is going to have a big impact and that's clear and you are totally right about Santro GLS' price. Great review. Let's wait for some time to see what turns on next.
Hi soni2006 great review & a well wriiten hub, in my experience & point of view, I realise 'total reliability' & 'economically to run' are also two of the most vital elements a car can posses. Problem free mototring. That is why I would choose hyundai within your context of car differences. (I don't know too much about Maruti)

Thanks for sharing your view point Inspired to Write.
hello soni, can u tell which car should i buy eon or i10 as my first car.

You compare the power,torque,fuel effeciency,length,leg space..........anything man....ALTO K10 Roczzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and Hyundai..........no offense man..................IT SUCS..
Nice review Soni. But I guess there is a typo in your last paragraph! Isn't that 300000 INR ?!
No that's not a type Sudarshan. I am talking about the being costly by 30000 INR and not 3 lakhs INR.
Hello, all i appriciate comments & views from you all.
i took test drive of both EON & Alto. from my experiance EON is more stylish & comfortable inside. About engine & power i would like to ask queastion. Why one buy family car for comfort & convineance or for race & long travels?? If the intension is to buy the car for race & long travel then maruti 800 would have been great failure by maruti.
Thanks for expressing your view Mehul but it is a bit confusing.
I am from israel. Pls compare alto 1.0 automatic vs. i10 1.1 inspire automatic. I cannot decide which to buy...
mene eon kharid li he. its interior iz very beautiful than alto. and peacop was amaizing. and also very big space dan alto. and ya milege iz 19 in city.
Hello Allan buy i10 1.1 and Kunj Patel thank you so much for sharing your views about Eon.
@sanjay singh bisht u cannot underestimate hyundai
k10 is amaging .... afterall maruti is true on mileage. i own a white vxi and feel amaging. giving miliage of 18 after 4000kms local in this crude patrol prices. comfortwise feature wise quick close. i got this toy for 3.38 with center locking, leather covers, mats, mud flap, nippon double din stereo and speakers all perfact. and because of flat shape no need to worry if wants to get in shaper later.
i am confused between Alto 800 lxi & Eon era. i want reliable car.plz suggest me one.
wich is value 4 money car between alto 800LX- eon era. i want to buy in 10 to 15 days. wich is economical in maintenance and in petrol consumption. as this is my first car. plz advice...
I own K10 its been 2 months and rode for about 3000Kms.
Its really superb in case of Milage as i am getting 22 on highway and 17 to 18 KM in the city.
Really worth for money.
which is the best economical car....please rply....+919747348932 dis ma number..
Eon is the worst car I have had. Its gears keep vibrating
i like eon it is best
IN MY OPINION ALTO IS THE BEST CAR IN COMPARE OF EON ALTO IS SUPERB CAR BUT EON IS NOT GOOD TO DRIVING,SEATING&OTHER ..... IN THE CASE MARUTHI ALTO IS VERY INTEREST TO DRIVING,&GOOD SEATING CONDITION AND OTHERS ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE SO ALTO IS BEST TO USE..................
I OWN MY K10 CAR WHICH IS GIVING EXCELLENT MILEAGE AND PLEASURE TO ME IN ALL THE CORNERS. I AM HAPPY WITH MY ALTOK10 COMPARE TO EON
Can Anyone Suggest a Good Practical Reason/Comparison for Purchasing a Hyundai Eon against Maruti Alto-K10

ALTO IS BESTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Hello Soni, Appreciate your refined review on both the cars !! The comparison which we intend to mention is b/w similar pricing range i.e Eon Dlite Option with Alto K10 Lxi...
Looks, Appeal, Style matters - but for an entry segment customer - what equally matters more is the Power, Pickup, Engine . Suggest users to have a test drive of Eon which has been done with Alto K10 the very same day. Feel the Difference. Moreover with the discount offers going on of Rs. 10K cash discount + MP3 player worth Rs. 10K - Alto K10 Lxi appeals.
Even , if you compare the top end Eon Sportz - then it follows a direct competition with its own Santro GLS.
Its too expensive to buy a Car EON Sportz at a higher price than top end Santro GLS (which after discount of Rs. 20,000) is economical then EON sportz .
To be honest - we feel that instead of Eon hitting the leader Alto - it will have more impact on Chevy Spark.
Thanks !!
