The 7-seater car segment in India has seen growing popularity in recent years, with options ranging from the budget-friendly Renault Triber to high-end SUVs. But now, Maruti Suzuki has taken a bold step by launching the cheapest 6-seater in India, replacing its previous 7-seater offering.

In a big upgrade, Maruti has also made the Eeco safer than ever. The updated Eeco now comes equipped with 6 airbags as standard, making it one of the few vehicles in its price bracket offering such safety features. This is part of Maruti’s ongoing push to make 6 airbags standard across its lineup.
