<p>Hyundai has played smart by giving the best of options to its buyers for choosing between improved performance or efficiency. The Eon comes with two engine options where one is powered by a three cylinder 814 cc unit that manages to deliver a total of 56 PS of peak power at 5500 rpm along with a mild torque of 74 Nm at 4000 rpm. This small engine is capable enough to cover point A to point B distances within the city with good efficiency numbers. But with the car fully packed with luggage and passengers, the 814 cc engine does fall short on power which is not really a surprise. But driving alone with mild luggage or a co-passenger, one will not really witness any dearth of adequate power. On the other side, if you are looking to extract more power from this hatch, Hyundai offers a slightly bigger 1.0 litre three cylinder unit which takes the power figure to an impressive 69 PS at 6200 rpm along with an increased torque of 94 Nm at 3500 rpm. Both its engine variants are mated to a standard 5 speed manual transmission. Riding on Mc Pherson struts at the front and Torsion beam suspension at the rear, its suspension setup remains on the softer side to soak in potholes and other bad sections of the road quite easily. As a city commuter, Eon does the job quite well but once you take it pass three digit speeds the car does looses out on confidence.
