The company announced the launch of the car in Delhi and the base version will cost 2.69 lakhs ranging all the way to the top end, which will be priced at 3.71 lakhs. The exteriors exuberate a strong shoulder line and a fluidic design that is shares with the i10, i20 and the Verna. The car is powered by a 814 cc 3 cylinder engine which will put out 54 bhp and a peak torque of 76.5 Nm Torque. The efficiency figures from Arai suggest 21.1 kmpl, which is marginally better than Alto’s 20.2. On the interiors, the Eon features semi digital display and a gear shift indicator.
