The Maruti 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. 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.
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. [2]
It features diagonal shift assistance for smoother diagonal gear movements, rather than the earlier rigid straight line gear shifting.
Trims are as follows:
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.
EECO is powered by BharathStage IV compliant engine.
