User Reviews on Maruti Suzuki Eeco

Maruti Eeco 5 seater (I own ) is better than the underpowered 7 seater.5 Seater gives 10kmpl in 2nd and occasional 3rd in city with 30% time A/c run.Highways cruising at 70kmph I got 17 with a/c running 80 % time with 2 on board with four travel bags. Front extended nose does not contain the engine (Hope it had-Suzuki does not have enough brains to install one )neither it has stronger sheet metal ,I doubt if it can with stand 45 degree offset crash test.Design proportions are not adequate it should have been atleat 150mm wider and 150mm shorter,and same level floor plan from front to back (three levels right now with CO2 welded sheets).Suspension damper-springs are not tuned yet as is steering linkages ,looks like suzuki R&D awaiting customer feedback or they might have sent the reports to Parent company and are awaiting their replies to change the design (A normal work culture in suzuki ) Indeed the space is plenty but see it closely most of the space is vertical and not use able, only ambiance is created for spacy looks (This is basically a luggage van called CARRY ,or Every in Japan used to carry material not Humans .They tried their best to sell this in India as Versa for 5 lacs each 10 years ago and people realised the stuff and rejected.Now they are giving it at realistic 3lacs ex show room.Buy this if you like some thing 20% more safer than Omni or else buy a santro which has better engine and sfaety r if you have 80K more simply buy a Indica Vista
