What features are available in the Maruti Suzuki Eeco?

Exterior:

Eeco’s overall design has not changed since it was first launched as the Versa in 2001. Here, function takes priority over form, with a space-maximising boxy design and simple body lines all around. The Eeco is bare-boned in terms of equipment on the outside, with clear lens reflector headlamps, black bumpers at the front and rear, and steel wheels on all variants. The Eeco’s highlights are the old-school sliding doors for the rear cabin.

Interior:

The Eeco is the only car in the company’s current lineup, which harks back to the company’s hard-plastic-filled basic interior design. It can be had in five or seven-seater configurations, all featuring thin, contourless seats with integrated headrests. One can order the Eeco without air conditioning too. Further, it gets mandated safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, and seatbelt reminders as standard. In 2022, this people mover benefitted with new features such as a revised steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, reclining front seats, and rotary dials for the manual air conditioner.
