The 0.8-litre engine is known to be frugal and reliable.
Space. Available as a 5- or 8-seater there’s enough room for the family and their luggage.
Easy to drive inside the city, easy to park as well.
Things We Don't Like in Omni
Creature comforts are missing - no power windows, or even air-conditioning.
Exterior build quality is strictly average.
No safety features offered at all.
Stand Out Features
Price. It is the most affordable 8-seater on sale in India today.
CarDekho Verdict
If you need nothing more than a point-A to point-B commuter at an absolute budget, the little Maruti doesn’t disappoint.

In case you do not need the extra seat space, we recommend you look at entry-level hatchbacks such as the Maruti Alto 800 or the Renault Kwid.
