2019 Maruti Eeco Spied With New Features, Launch Soon

The 2019 Maruti Suzuki Eeco has obtained features like driver side airbag, Anti-lock Brakes, seatbelt reminder, speed alert and reverse parking sensors along with a cup holder. The Eeco people carrier has been around in the Indian market since making debut at the 2010 Auto Expo. It replaced Versa that served for almost ten years and is based on the same platform as the Versa.

The Omni, which has been on sale for nearly three and half decades, won’t be upgraded to comply with BNVSAP (Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program) norms and instead, the Eeco will likely take its place. It is expected to be re-engineered with structural upgrades to meet the full-frontal impact, off-set-frontal impact and side impact tests at devised speeds.
