Though Maruti has refurbished Eeco with an Euro IV emission-compliant engine and upgraded aerodynamics still the company has managed to keep the price of 5-seater AC version lower than the Versa’s basic price of Rs 3.63 lakh. Maruti has come up with the target to sell 40,000 units of the Eeco annually. Maruti Suzuki managing director and chief executive Shinzi Nakanishi commented at the Eeco launch that they were offering the special price to target the customers who wanted to upgrade from smaller van Maruti Omni. He also added that this price was an invitation price and would be reviewed based on customer feedback.
