Maruti Eeco
EECO was introduced in India by Maruti Suzuki during 2010. This car is essentially a stripped down version of defunct Versa. This is an urgent 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. EECO is equipped with advanced Engine Management System for optimizing fuel efficiency and performance. It is branded by the manufacturer as a perfect car for every occasion-a business trip or a picnic with the loved ones. A new minivan from Maruti Suzuki is expected in 2011 to replace the Eeco/Versa and (possibly) the ageing Omni.
Design and trim options
EECO boasts of luxury features like AC, digital trip meter, integrated head rests in 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.
Noteworthy feature is the Diagonal Shift Assistance for smoother diagonal gear movements [rather than the earlier rigid straight line gear shifting].
