Maruti Eeco at Auto Expo 2010
Maruti, the most popular auto maker in India has launched several multipurpose vehicles over the past years. The most popular multipurpose vehicle from the house of Maruti is Omni. Multipurpose vehicles are mostly used by business people in India. The main reason for the less market of multipurpose vehicles is the flooding of Indian car market with better and affordable mini cars. Whatever the case may be, multipurpose vehicles have their own market all the time.
Maruti has launched two multipurpose vehicles in the past namely, Omni and Versa. Omni is more suitable for business needs. You can see Omni quiet often on Indian roads. But as far as versa is concerned, it is more or less suitable for a large family. Versa was not that successful. It is seen that Maruti has learned from the less successful versa. They are planning to launch the new multipurpose vehicle under the name Eeco. The new Maruti Eeco is a ZXi model multipurpose vehicle. On highways you can expect Maruti Eeco to give a mileage of 16Kmpl. You can expect a mileage of 13Kmpl from the new Maruti Eeco on city roads. The new Maruti Eeco falls in the B segment. Since a lot of good looking cars are available in the same price range of Maruti Eeco you cannot expect a huge sale by the launch of the new Maruti Eeco. But the fact that there is a fixed market and demand for their multipurpose vehicles makes Maruti to proceed with the launch of the new Maruti Eeco.

Maruti Eeco safety measures.
Coming into the safety features incorporated by the company, you can see that the company has not included much safety equipments in the vehicle.

Parking sensors and traction control facilities are not incorporated. But you can drive the new Maruti Eeco through foggy weather conditions with the help of the fog lamps it has.
