The Hyundai Eon is easily the most stylish car in its segment.

In spite of being more than six years old in the market, it looks more attractive than many of its bland-looking competitors

At the front-end, it has a stretched back headlamps that give the fascia a somewhat sporty look

Other highlights of the car include a small grille and a huge bumper

The talking point about the side profile is a rising beltline that gives the car a very dynamic look

The sleek pair of headlamps carries a halogen bulb each

The bumpers are fitted with fog lamps that improve the illumination in the low-light conditions

The top-end variant gets chrome garnishing for the grille

The interior of the Hyundai Eon complements the sophisticated exterior

It has a cascading design of the dashboard, with premium dual-tone beige and black finish

The seat upholstery has a beige colour theme, while the three-spoke steering wheel feels good to hold

Being an entry-level offering, which is positioned below the better equipped Hyundai Santro, the Eon car features basic equipment levels and misses out on bits like a touchscreen infotainment system.

The interior equipment list comprises a powerful HVAC that can cool the cabin quickly, a stylish digital fuel meter and temperature gauge that flanks a big speedometer
