    The Hyundai Eon is now available with a larger 1.0-litre engine. Does the new engine work to enhance the Eon’s appeal?

    On the outside, there’s little to give this away as the larger-hearted of the Eons. In fact, some badging apart, the mildly different design of the wheel covers is your only clue to this being the 1.0. Styling, as before, is quite radical and very different from other cars of this price. Love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it.

    On the whole, the Eon 1.0 comes across as a very convincing proposition, something the standard Eon is not. Courtesy the new engine, it’s a lot more rounded than before. It still gets you the smart cabin and makes you feel you’ve got more than your money’s worth. If the lacklustre driving experience and limited rear seat space aren’t deal breakers for you, the Eon 1.0, priced at Rs 3.83 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) could make a very sensible choice as an urban runabout.
