Have you noticed how expensive cars have become lately? Amid all the talk about SUVs and electric cars, one humble hero from Maruti quietly continues to serve India’s families, schools, and small businesses — the Maruti Eeco. And now, the New Maruti Eeco 2025 is back with better safety, smarter features, and surprisingly lower prices after the latest GST 2.0 update.
Sounds unbelievable, right? Let’s see what makes this everyday van such an important player in India’s car market — and why it still matters in 2025
A Quick Look at the Changing Market
After the new GST rates came into effect, India’s car market has been buzzing. Brands like Tata, Mahindra, and Hyundai saw a sharp rise in sales, leaving Maruti Suzuki facing a few challenges. Some of Maruti’s popular models — Swift, Baleno, and Ertiga — even saw sales dip compared to last year.
And yes, even the trusty Maruti Eeco slipped slightly in rankings. It sold around 10,035 units in September 2025, dropping to 14th place among India’s top 15 best-selling cars. Yet, here’s the twist — in the van segment, Eeco remains undisputed number one. That says something about its reliability and purpose-driven design.
Engine, Power, and Mileage: Built for Real-World India
If you think vans are boring, think again. The new Maruti Eeco 2025 comes with Maruti’s refined K-Series 1.2-litre engine, available in both petrol and CNG options.
- Petrol version: 80.76 PS power, 104.5 Nm torque
- CNG version: 71.65 PS power, 95 Nm torque
Now, here’s what makes it a practical winner — fuel efficiency.
- Petrol: Up to 20.2 km/l (Tour variant)
- CNG: Up to 27.05 km/kg
That’s impressive for a spacious, family-friendly van. Whether you’re using it as a school van, delivery vehicle, or for daily commutes, it promises mileage that truly saves money.
Safety & Comfort: Not Just a Workhorse Anymore
The 2025 Eeco gets a solid update in the safety department. Maruti has added 11 advanced safety features, which you don’t often find in budget utility vehicles.
Here’s what’s new and noteworthy:
- Reverse parking sensors
- ABS with EBD
- Seat belt reminder
- Engine immobilizer
- Child safety locks
- Six airbags
- Digital instrument cluster
Even the interior feels more modern now, with a new steering wheel (borrowed from the S-Presso and Celerio) and rotary-style AC controls replacing the old sliders. It’s small touches like these that make everyday driving feel smoother and safer.
More Options for Every Need
The Maruti Eeco 2025 comes in multiple body styles:
- 5-seater
- 7-seater
- Cargo
- Tour
- Ambulance variant
This flexibility is exactly why Eeco continues to dominate the commercial and family segments alike. Whether you’re a school owner, a delivery partner, or simply someone with a big family, there’s an Eeco built just for you.
In terms of size, it measures 3,675 mm long, 1,475 mm wide, and 1,825 mm tall — with the ambulance version standing slightly taller at 1,930 mm.
Price Drop After GST 2.0: A Welcome Surprise
Here’s the best part — while most cars are getting pricier, the Eeco has become cheaper!
Thanks to GST 2.0, prices have dropped by nearly 8% across variants.
For example:
- Tour STD 5-Seater now costs around ₹5.18 lakh, down from ₹5.66 lakh.
- CNG variants have also seen similar reductions, saving buyers around ₹50,000–₹60,000.
This makes the new Eeco one of the most affordable 7-seater utility vehicles in India — practical for both personal and business use.
Why the Maruti Eeco Still Matters in 2025
In a world filled with tech-loaded SUVs, the Eeco remains refreshingly honest. It’s not trying to impress you with flashy screens or ADAS features — it’s here to get the job done, every single day.
Whether it’s taking kids to school, transporting goods, or serving as an ambulance, the Eeco is India’s definition of “value for money.”
So, while other cars chase luxury and speed, the Eeco quietly builds trust — kilometer after kilometer.
