The Suzuki Eeco price may be low, but it delivers the best value propositions to commercial and family-oriented buyers who desire maximum seating or cargo capacity on a low budget.

Powering the latest version of the Ecco is a 1.2-litre K-Series motor that benefits from DualJet technology. Between the petrol and CNG variants, the smoother, quieter unit is the former. The Eeco car has a short first gear and thus pulls away easily even when loaded. The light clutch is useful for urban driving, and the engine is most effective in low to mid RPM.

CNG (1.2-litre K12N)

The CNG version sacrifices some of the performance to reduce running costs. Although the acceleration is slower when compared to petrol, the tuning ensures steady progress when transporting passengers or cargo. The factory-fitted CNG kit also ensures higher safety than aftermarket options.

Real-World Driving Experience

The Eeco is user-friendly and straightforward in the city. There is good visibility because of its high seating position, big mirrors and upright windshield. The controls are mechanical yet predictable, and even novice drivers adapt to the Maruti Suzuki Eeco in a short period of time. Lack of power steering implies that manoeuvres are hard to execute, but once moving, the weight of the steering is less evident.

At moderate speeds, the Eeco feels composed on the highway. Towards the upper limit of its speed range, the engine starts to feel stressed, and overtaking must be planned. This is not surprising for a utility-oriented van at this price. The greatest strength of this vehicle is its steady, continuous cruising under load, not outright strong acceleration.

Who should choose what?

Choose Petrol if you want smoother performance and simpler ownership.
Select CNG in case of high daily running, and if operating cost is your priority. It is best suited for businesses.
