Maruti Suzuki Eeco | Maruti Suzuki’s Eeco has dropped from the September’s seventh place making sales of 13,309 units. This is still a 33 percent growth on a yearly basis.

Maruti's people mover, the Eeco, has been upgraded with basic safety tech to help it conform to the upcoming safety norms. This makes the car's price Rs 23,000 more expensive over the previous model at Rs 3.55 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Eeco comes with two engine options, a 1.2-litre petrol producing 73 PS and 101 Nm of torque and a CNG variant. Both variants enjoy some form of popularity with the CNG accounting for about 17 percent of total sales.

In terms of updates, the Eeco now gets a driver's side airbag, ABS with EBD, seatbelt alert for both front passengers and rear parking sensor.
