Maruti Suzuki Eeco expert review
Overview
When one thinks of purpose-driven vehicles, there are only a few that manage to stand out from the crowd. Among the countable models, it’s the Maruti Eeco which is a popular pick both as a private and a commercial vehicle, usually ranking in the top 10 best-selling cars list every month in India.
Maruti launched the basic people mover, which went on to cater a wide set of customers, back in 2010 as a spiritual successor to the Versa. Now, after over a decade in service, with only mild updates through the years, is it still good at doing what it does the best? We find out.
Exterior
The Eeco is now a decade and half old. And much like any trusty product with a large fan following, the packaging doesn’t change by much as the years go by. Sure, it isn’t the most attractive car on the block but let’s get it straight: it was never trying to flatter anyone with its looks. In fact, a few sections of buyers out there prefer it for its old-school charm, something that’s not what every new car sets out to impress with.
Maruti has chosen to stick to just the bare essentials for the Eeco, which is kind of obvious given its price proposition. This includes a pair of wipers and halogen headlights. That’s it, that’s all there is to its front profile, with a small-ish grille and blacked-out bumper. There’s no inclusion of chrome whatsoever and no set of fog lamps either. With the engine mounted under the front passenger seats, the bonnet seems almost as upright as it can be.
Upon moving to its sides, you notice the typical van-MPV-like look of the Eeco, thanks to the tall stance and proper three-part distinction with big window panels. Once again the Eeco’s humbleness is reflected in its black door handles, 13-inch steel wheels and key-opening fuel lid. With carmakers today choosing to offer electrically sliding rear doors on modern and more premium MPVs, manually sliding the Eeco’s rear doors feels like using the traditional elevators we have in older residential or commercial buildings (requiring somewhat the same kind of effort, especially when you have to shut them).
It’s pretty much a similar story at the back of the Eeco too, where simplicity has been prioritised over over-the-top styling. Its rear is dominated by the huge window, followed by the “Eeco” badge, slim, upright taillights and a chunky black bumper.
Colour options include Bluish Black, Metallic Glistening Grey, Solid White, Metallic Brisk Blue and Metallic Silky Silver. I like how the Eeco looks in blue.
Interior
Design & Quality
The Eeco, ever since its introduction in 2010, has stuck to a basic dual-tone themed cabin and dashboard layout with just the essentials. Yes, it has been given a couple of updates to keep things fresh inside the cabin as well, but nothing that would feel extraordinarily revamped. The previously offered 2-spoke steering wheel and analogue instrument cluster (reminiscent of that of the older Alto) have been replaced with a new 3-spoke unit and a digitised display, similar to that on the Wagon R and S-Presso, respectively.
Even the passenger side of the dashboard now has a closed off upper compartment housing the co-driver airbag instead of the open storage area while the AC controls are now bigger, with rotary units in place of slidable controls.
The design and quality are both functional. It’s easy to use and make sense of and stands ready for years of rough use. Nothing breaks until you really want it to and if it does, it’s cheap to replace.
Front Seats
Thanks to the Eeco’s tall stance and the big front windshield, the view out is commendable and won’t cause any kind of inconvenience while driving it around the city. With the engine being positioned under the front seats, they are placed higher up than usual, which helps in easily finding the apt driver position. This translates to having a larger field of view while inducing the confidence that new drivers might be in search of. That said, the seats can only be reclined, only the driver’s seat can slide forward and neither of the two gets any adjustment for the height. The steering isn’t adjustable either.
Rear Seats
We had the 5-seater Eeco with us so we couldn’t sample how the third row is for passengers in the 6-seater version. But our experience with the second row instils the confidence that it should do just fine for the extra pair of occupants. Speaking about the second row, we did have three medium-sized adults sit here without experiencing any shortage of headroom or shoulder room. Thanks to the absence of the transmission tunnel, the middle passenger has enough room to stretch their legs, though they sadly don’t get a headrest.
Unfortunately, none of the four headrests provided in the Eeco get height-adjustment, and fixed ones given to the rear seats are too short to be of any use. While the rear passengers don’t get any sort of practical or convenience features, they do have wide windows to enjoy the outside world and kill time while on longer journeys.
Storage Options
In case you were wondering where to stow your knick knacks, there isn’t much on offer here in Maruti’s entry-level people mover. All you have is a couple of cubby holes in the lower half of the dashboard, which can fit in a decent-sized smartphone and smaller items like receipts, tickets, keys, etc. There is a small bottle holder tucked away in the rear centre console, but that too is rather flimsy. There are no door pockets for either the front or rear occupants.
Charging Options
Maruti has provided the MPV with a 12V socket in the centre console, which is the only charging port you get in the entire car.
Features
With snazzy technology including multiple displays becoming a sort of mandate in all new cars today, the Eeco is a sweet throwback to cars from the early 2000s and 1990s (a walk down the memory lane for myself, being an ex-Maruti 800 owner).
Speaking of the equipment on board the Eeco is like counting numbers on your fingers because that’s literally how much it gets. This includes a manual AC with heater, a simple IRVM (inside rearview mirror), cabin lamps, and sun visors. It’s worth mentioning that the Eeco’s AC unit is quite powerful, as we got to sample it in the summer and it successfully passed the test. However, we feel with the Eeco’s starting price now touching the Rs 5.5 lakh mark (ex-showroom), Maruti should have at least given it a power steering and central locking to bring it a little up to date.
It’s only when you think of why Maruti decided to make an Eeco in the first place that you truly understand its spartan nature. A majority (perhaps all) of its buyers aren’t looking for hi-tech wizardry or cool screens to play with but to get their job done in what can essentially take their entire family and/or cargo along in a comfortable manner.
Safety
Every safety feature the Eeco gets, it gets it as standard. That includes six airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all rear passengers, ABS with EBD, ESP and rear parking sensors. Back in 2016, Global NCAP had crash-tested the Eeco with no airbags, wherein it failed to score even a single star. The current Eeco has a lot more safety features but Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP have more stringent testing protocols as well.
Boot Space
With the third row being given a miss for the 5-seater version, there’s more than enough cargo space to move houses. With our testing luggage set at our disposal, we could put all the three travel suitcases (cabin, medium and full-sized) along with the two duffle bags, and still had room for a few more softbags. Its boot space, though, is truly appreciated by everyone who has bought it for commercial purposes like ambulances or as a goods carrier. Mind you, if you pick the CNG version of the Eeco (5-seater only), there will be a tank in the boot, eating up some of the luggage space. But since the CNG tank is put in a cage, you can put some light-weighted objects on it.
Performance
Maruti has carried on with the same 1.2-litre petrol engine for the Eeco, the same unit which has been on offer since its market introduction, while updating it a few times to match the revised emission norms.
Engine | 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol | 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol+CNG |
Power | 81PS | 71PS |
Torque | 105.5Nm | 95Nm |
Transmission | 5-speed manual | 5-speed manual |
Claimed Fuel-Efficiency | 19.71kmpl | 26.78km/kg |
City Performance
The Eeco is an easy-to-drive car and even a new driver will not take much time to get used to it. The MPV has a short-throw first gear to pick up heavy loads easily. The engine refinement level is impressive, and this is important given the placement of the engine: under the driver and passenger seats. The Eeco’s clutch is light and the gear slots in well too. This engine and transmission combination works well to deliver good performance at lower revs, given that Maruti expects it to be driven with loads more often than not. It’s all about pickup, not top-end performance.
While the claimed efficiency is 19.71kmpl, this number will change in real-world conditions, especially with passengers and cargo on board. Realistically, it’ll manage around 14kmpl in the city, depending on traffic and driving conditions.
Highway Performance
Take the Eeco out on a straight patch of road, and even then it feels composed up to triple-digit speeds. It’s only upon closing onto the 100kmph mark that you feel some stress in the engine. High speed overtakes will need you to rev the engine up a bit but while it’s not highway express, it offers enough performance to manage cruising speeds. The Eeco can manage around 16-18kmpl on the highway.
Ride and Handling
Since the Eeco’ primary motive is to haul weight and load, the suspension setup is stiff. Drive long and you feel that it should have been a bit more compliant on Indian roads. However, it does soften up with more weight or people that you add. And then, while it still feels firm, it manages to absorb the road imperfections well.
Simply put, drive it with only one or two people on board, and the Eeco will feel stiff and bumpy. Load up on passengers and cargo, and it will offer better bump absorption and insulation from bad roads.
Given the compact size and light weight, the Eeco should’ve been very easy to drive. However, the lack of power steering does make you put in some effort to drive through the city and navigate narrow bylanes.

CarDekho recommends:
-
If you want the 6-seater version of the Maruti Eeco, then you have no option but to go for the Standard version.
-
For the 5-seater version, we would recommend you to opt for the AC variant. CNG can be opted if you have a really high usage.
Verdict
Let’s get one thing straight: the Eeco isn’t made for every kind of buyer out there. This is a car built with a major focus on commercial and utility purposes. And in that sense, the Eeco is a well-made car. But the moment you look at it from an all-rounder point of view, it has its fair share of misses.
Having understood its category of buyers, it has just about the enough stuff that they would be in need of for their daily commutes, which includes a large boot and the ability to carry many people or loads of luggage or cargo while offering a good ride quality. So it doesn’t need the touchscreens or gadgets and creature comforts of the cars from today, though it still packs the absolute essentials.
That said, we did feel Maruti should have upped its game a bit when it comes to giving the Eeco a little softer suspension along with equipping it with must-have features like power steering and central locking to further ease the driver’s duties. But all said and done, the basic people mover is indeed good at doing what it does the best and that’s moving people or cargo from its pickup point to the destination.
