2025 Maruti Suzuki Eeco Launched with 6 Airbags and New 6-Seater Layout; Prices Start at ₹5.69 Lakh

New Delhi, April 12, 2025 . Auto News India — Maruti Suzuki has officially launched the 2025 Eeco in India with significant upgrades in safety features and new seating configurations, aligning with the brand’s focus on value, compliance, and family-oriented practicality. The updated model is now OBD2 compliant, features six airbags, and starts at a competitive ₹5.69 lakh (ex-showroom).

Key Highlights: Safety First, Seating Next

One of the biggest changes in the 2025 Eeco is the introduction of 6 airbags — a major leap in safety for the entry-level MPV segment. The safety suite now also includes:

• ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

• Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)

• Seatbelt reminders for all seats

• Three-point seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters

This makes the Eeco one of the safest offerings in its price segment.

Seating Configurations: 6-Seater with Captain Seats Debuts

While Maruti has discontinued the 7-seater variant, the Eeco continues to offer a 5-seater layout, and now introduces two new 6-seater petrol variants that come with captain seats, offering improved comfort for middle-row occupants. This setup is expected to appeal to families and fleet operators looking for better ride quality.

Note: The CNG variant remains exclusive to the 5-seater configuration, while the new 6-seater trims are petrol-only.

Engine and Fuel Efficiency

The 2025 Eeco retains its 1.2-litre petrol engine, producing 80 hp, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It has been updated to support E20 fuel compliance, in line with India’s new emission and fuel norms.

• Petrol Mileage: 19.71 kmpl (claimed)

• CNG Mileage: 26.78 km/kg (claimed)

• CNG Engine Power: 70 hp (available only with 5-seater)

Design & Features: Minimal Cosmetic Changes, Practical Interior

There are no major exterior design changes in the new Eeco. It still features:

• Rectangular halogen headlamps

• Vertically stacked tail lamps

• Black bumpers and no wheel covers

Interior changes are mostly safety-driven, with structural modifications around pillars and roof lining to accommodate airbags. The dashboard layout and three-spoke steering wheel remain unchanged.

Functional features include:

• Air conditioner and heater

• Sliding driver seat

• Digital driver display

• 12V accessory socket, front dome lamp, sunvisors

• Rear parking sensors and cabin air filter

• Battery saver for dome lamp

Verdict: Eeco Becomes Safer, More Versatile

The 2025 Eeco now stands as a strong value proposition in the budget MPV category, especially with its improved safety features, new 6-seat configuration, and compliance with updated fuel norms. It is an ideal pick for commercial use, family buyers, and fleet operators seeking efficiency and utility without compromising on safety.
