On August 1, Indian Autos Blog featured a story in which we showed you a camouflaged Hyundai Eon that was caught testing in Tamil Nadu. We thought that Hyundai India was preparing a facelift for the Eon as various body panels were covered. However, our sources inform us on something different.
It seems that Hyundai India is testing the Eon with a 1.0-liter engine and the Korean car maker plans to launch this more powerful version of the small car in 2014. The 1.0-liter Eon will have a direct rival in the Maruti Alto K10, which according to rumors, is preparing for a facelift that could be launched by Diwali this year.

Hyundai is likely to use the 1.0-liter (998cc) three-cylinder petrol engine that also powers the base version of the Hyundai i10 for the European markets. This engine produces 68bhp at 6,200rpm 95Nm of torque at 3,500rpm. The heavier i10 with this engine is capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in 14.8 seconds and has a top speed of 149km/h. However, we think Hyundai India would tune this engine to offer a compromise between performance and efficiency. For reference, the Alto K10 produces 68PS (about 67bhp) and 90Nm of torque. The current 800cc Eon will continue to compete with the Alto 800.

Re: Hyundai Testing Eon 1.0L To Target Maruti Alto K10

Ah, how I miss the fourth cylinder[cry]!

With the K10 numbers nothing to write home about (as per Maruti standards), I would be watching this space to see how well the E10 (ha!) sells. While I am in no doubt that the new engine would take care of the weak bottom end of the present Eon engine, I wonder how would this new variant be priced like. As things stand, the price of the top end Eon sits dangerously close to that of established players like the Wagon R.

Re: Hyundai Eon 1.0L is Now Here

Which is the engine they are using for this. I dont think they had any sub 1000 cc engine in their stable earlier.

The car is still not on sale. There's no official word from Hyundai. The website is also not reflecting the 1.0L model.

Two are contradictory statements. But is it a new developed engine ? Since only 998 CC engine Hyundai had was early batch Santros (1998-2000)

Bookings might be open at certain dealerships but there is no official statement from Hyundai about the launch of Eon 1.0L so far.

Re: Hyundai Eon With 1.0 Liter Engine Coming Soon

The Eon 1L will be available in a single trim level called Magna Plus. This variant gets features such as AC, power steering and front power windows. Compared to the Eon 0.8L Magna Plus, the Eon 1L Magna Plus loses out on a music system and internally adjustable wing mirrors.​

Identical in exterior and interiors to the 800 cc , except for the badging at rear.

Powering the Eon 1L is a three-cylinder 998 cc with Hyundai’s VTVT technology

A welcome move from Hyundai and the specs are impressive.
Perfect rival for all K10B powered cars from maruti stable.

This is the real Alto K10 killer!. Pricing is little over the expected. Datsun Go also gets a perfect opponent.
