Chronology
PredecessorMaruti Versa
Maruti Omni

The Maruti Suzuki Eeco is a microvan introduced in India by the Indian automaker Maruti Suzuki in early 2010. This car is a stripped down version of the discontinued Versa which itself was the Indian version of the 10th generation Suzuki Every (Carry). It is a refresh in lines with Maruti Suzuki not being able to come up with a new minivan. EECO comes with 5-seater and 7-seater options. It is equipped with an advanced engine management system for optimizing fuel efficiency and performance. It is marketed by the manufacturer as a perfect car for every occasion—a business trip or a picnic with the loved ones.[1]

It is also the entry-level replacement for the Omni, discontinued in 2019 after Suzuki was unable to redesign the Omni to meet India's safety standards.[2]

Design and trim options

Maruti revised Versa's G13 engine to fit into Eeco. The new engine had a reduced bore and the swept capacity was 1196cc; it is designated as the G12 engine. The 5-speed gearbox is carried over from Versa.

Eeco has air-conditioning, a digital trip meter, integrated headrests in the front row, and tubeless radial tires.

The 1196 cc CNG-powered variant delivers a fuel economy of 18 km/kg in city and 20 km/kg on highways, while the Petrol variant offers a mileage of 13 kmpl on urban roads and 15 kmpl and freeways, respectively.[3]

It features diagonal shift assistance for smoother diagonal gear movements, rather than the earlier rigid straight line gear shifting.

Trims are as follows:

  • 5-seater, Standard
  • 5-seater, AC
  • 7-seater, Standard

Other variants are below:

5 seater Standard
5 seater AC

Eeco Care (Ambulance)

Maruti Suzuki Eeco Green

Maruti Suzuki also introduced the EECO Green Range. It is equipped with Maruti Suzuki’s advanced i-GPI technology and runs on nature's ECO Fuel-CNG. It is claimed to be safer, more efficient and cuts down on fuel costs. It is available in 5 seater AC and standard variants, and is equipped with futuristic Intelligent Gas Port Injection (i-GPI) Technology.

EECO also comes with the electric variant. The EECO charge runs on lithium ion batteries. However, the size is a hampering factor as the range per charge is a mere 100 km. The EECO Charge's electric motor churns out 67 BHP powered by lithium ion batteries that can hold 24 kWh. It takes 7 hours to recharge the battery fully at 220 V and has zero exhaust emission.

The car has two modes, sports and economy, although the top speed of the car is maximum 180 km/h. It also comes with a two-years warranty, and is positioned as an eco-friendly car.

Safety

The Eeco for India with no airbags nor ABS received 0 stars for adult occupants and 2 stars for toddlers from Global NCAP in 2016 (similar to Latin NCAP 2013).[4]
