The Maruti Suzuki Omni has been around for 32 years. What’s interesting, is that it has remained virtually unchanged over the decades. Designed with the sole purpose of transporting the big Indian family together, the Omni has found close to 16 million homes. Wondering if you should consider buying the good old Omni? Here’s what you need to know
Things We Like in Omni
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. Bear in mind the Omni is no highway hero, it is best left within the confines of the city. The lack of safety features and creature comforts are big omissions. 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.
"That said, for the price, the Maruti Suzuki Omni comes across as a no-nonsense reliable workhorse."

The good news is passed down by the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) after state-owned oil companies kept to their promise to share their baseline profits with the public. It is basically the combined effect of the crude oil price put together with the rupee exchange value. The crude oil price per barrel in Singapore presently stands at $107.00 a substantial decrease from $115.85 earlier. The chunk of profit here is unfortunately taken away partially by the rupee value which stands at 52.20 against a dollar as of yesterday. Read Full News
