Suzuki Alto 800 0.8 Deluxe MT (2015) vs Hyundai Eon 0.8 GLX MT (2016)

Suzuki Alto 800 0.8 Deluxe MT (2015) vs Hyundai Eon 0.8 GLX MT (2016): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer focused on upfront cost and tight city parking, the 2015 Suzuki Alto 800 Deluxe MT is the more economical pick at ₱419,000, about ₱74,000 cheaper than the Hyundai Eon. It is also the shortest model (3395 mm vs 3495 mm), which can be advantageous in Manila’s narrow streets and cramped parking spaces. However, the Alto is discontinued, meaning parts and dealer support may become harder to find over time, and its warranty is limited to 100,000 km or 3 years. The Hyundai Eon, priced at ₱493,000, offers a newer 2016 model year, a longer warranty of unlimited mileage for 5 years, and a modest power edge – 56 PS and 75 Nm versus the Alto’s 48 PS and 68 Nm – giving a slightly peppier drive on highways and uphill sections. Both share the same 5‑speed manual, front‑wheel drive layout, and 5‑door hatchback practicality, seating 2+3. If you value a longer warranty, a newer model, and a bit more power and are willing to pay the premium, the Hyundai Eon is the better long‑term choice. If budget and compact size dominate your decision and you can accept limited after‑sales support, the Suzuki Alto remains the cheaper, more maneuverable option.
