‘EON’ – means eternity. The car will be manufactured in India at Hyundai Motor India’s manufacturing facility located at Sriperumbudur near Chennai.
The EON will bear Hyundai’s latest design philosophy of ‘Fluidic Sculpture’. EON has design elements and features that have been specifically developed for Indian conditions. The car is targeted at first time buyers who want to buy a spacious and stylish car that is high on fuel economy.
The car has been designed at Hyundai’s Namyang R&D centre located in the Gyeonggi Province in South Korea.
