Under its ‘Mission Green Million’ initiative, Maruti Suzuki has launched the BS6 compliant Eeco. The best-selling multi-purpose van has been in the top charts in terms of sales for a very long time. The company has launched the S-CNG version of the Maruti Suzuki Eeco which will comply with BS6 emission norms. It has been launched with a starting price of ₹4.64lakhs.
The Eeco S-CNG will be offered in a total of 12 variants. For the seating capacity, it will have a 5-seat and 7-seat option. There are Cargo and Ambulance options too with the Maruti Suzuki Eeco S-CNG. In terms of design aesthetics, there is no major change in the upgraded multi-purpose van.
While on petrol, Eeco BS6 has a mileage of 16.11kmpl and for the CNG it is 21.94km per kg.
Talking about safety, Maruti Suzuki Eeco is the safest van in the segment as it comes loaded with features such as driver airbag, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, driver and co-driver seatbelt reminder and alert alarm for high-speed. Maruti seems to have certainly worked towards safety a bit with this offering.
The Executive Director(Marketing and Sales) of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, Shashank Srivastava, said, “Eeco has established a strong foothold with its excellent mileage, best-in-segment comfort, space and power, at a low maintenance cost.
