Maruti Suzuki’s new MPV (multi purpose vehicle) called Eeco is a five door vehicle. Eeco will be available in five seater and seven seater options. Eeco powered by an 1.2L engine complies the upcoming bharat IV emission norm and returns 15.1Km to a litre of petrol (as per ARAI). The 1196ccc engine generates 73bhp of raw power at 6000rpm and a high torque of 101Nm@3000rpm. The Eeco uses the 5 speed manual transmission system with the Diagonal Shift Assistance (DSA) technology which allows for a gear change without any break in continuity of the action, thereby improving the gear shift feeling.
Interiors will not just be functional but also offer a luxurious feel. Eeco comes with dual tone interiors – shades of beige and grey. The digital meter cluster adds to the driver convenience as well as a sophisticated feel. The flexi design of Eeco enables the car to have 5-seater and 7 seating option. The sliding doors similar to omni will ensure easy ingress and egress of Eeco passengers. Air-conditioning could be only luxury feature of Eeco as the price would be very competitive. Eeco would run on 155/R13LT sized tubeless tyres.
Maruti Eeco will be launched on 7th January and will be available in six exciting colours – Metallic Glistening grey, metallic silky silver,Metallic Midnight Black,Metallic Blue Blaze,Bright Red and Superior White. Expect the price of Eeco to start from Rs4 lakhs. Maruti plans to sell 40,000 units per annum.
Why Eeco?
Eeco complies upcoming Bharat IV emission norm and the Eeco is ELV (End of Life for Vehicles) compliant which means it uses Lead, Cadmium, Mercury and Chromium within permissible limits.

Desparately Waiting for this Vehicle.
This will be the first choice for Omni owners to switch over, as it’ll have AC.
The difference between a 7 seater A/c and Non A/c is about 67 lakhs. Something to think on !
Waiting for a family car from MARUTI since a long time. But price difference between 7/AC & 7/non AC is very unjustified.Is here any hide feature ?
Difference between AC and nonAC version is very high which needs a consideration by the company.
The difference between a 7 seater A/c and Non A/c is about 67000 thousands.its too high. Something to think on !
As VERSA hD FAILED IN aUTO MARKET DUE TO hIGH rOOF AND LOW TYRE SIZE. wHY CANT WE THINK THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY TO GET IMPROVED MARKET.
KANU BHAI
IS THE AC IN 7 SEATER DUEL AC OR SINGLE AC.
KANUBHAI.
There should be different-2 varients like ALTO-LX,ALTO-LXI,ALTO-VXI.If there already are power-steering+power windos(front is enough)then the diffrence of the price is ok.
WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO SWITCOVER FROM OMNI
the difference in the 7seater ac & non ac is really absurd. the versa failed because of poor fuel economy.maruti should have a diesel version of eeco which i feel would be a real succes.the higher end version with features like central locking, power windows, body coloured bumpers & ABS would have the middle class families queing up at the maruti show rooms.
It is good and comfortable. Need to look about the price. Today i had test drive. Yes it good . Planning to purchase very soon
plz tell me whether this car is included with gas facility and with how much average???
the car is too good compared with omni with some advanced features like AC…
It looks somthing like commercial vehicle.Some cosmatic change required on exteriar like spoiler,stailish carrier.
The maruti eeco car is too good compared with omni …maruti should have a diesel versionof eeco which i feel would be a real succes
It is good vehicle to purchase for middle class family. But the company has to look the cost variation between 7 seates a/c and non a/c. What about the suspension system is it same as omni or versa. reply needed
i booked on 2/2/10 please tell me when maruti co. will deleverd to me?i excting to driven my new car.
Following questions to suzuki,
1.Why suzuki can not install engine layout at front ,lack of engineering knowledge?
2.Why two different platforms rear and luggage are ?
3.Having drive system gear at rear ,why steering effort for U required much more than alto or
Indica petrol
4.Why no impact beams provided at front? and why thin sheet metal strips named at side impact beams for sides ? Even Tata nano has better built side door frames at 1.6 lacs Vehicle is not so cheap to buy it costs almost 3.6 lacs on road
5.Why mislead public 1.2L as K series which is a same 1.3L wagon R engine with reduced piston size
6.I can understand the difficulties of suzuki engineers finding it difficult to install fiat multijet under the seat because in their whole life the have not designed on their own .
7.why bumpy leaf spring provided at rear which behave like a Jeep at cornering
8.Cant they provide better illumination with better quality reflector for Head lamps?
9.Head rest is very important for rear paasenger as suuden braking will break splinals of passengers
10.In us all japanese manufacturers are getting notice from transport ministry for not adhereing to basic safety standards .In India there is no Govt authority who can question these dumb designs of Suzuki and let off the hook for last 25 years
Today i had a test drive it is very comfort to drive but price of 7seater AC is very high is there any extra inner things in luxury model.
Eeco is soo good compared to omni but difference between 7seater non AC and AC is very high in price.is there any extra fittings in luxury model.
Good One BABKI. We should also look the Pros n Cons of anything and u have really brought up some valid points..
why cant suzki reduced the hight,why cant they provide much more gnd clearence…..i think it can fullfill the needs of average business mans
