2025 Maruti Eeco safety upgrades
Eeco joins growing list of Maruti Suzuki cars with six airbags
Prior to this update, the Eeco came equipped with only two airbags. However, Maruti Suzuki has been making an effort to enhance occupant protection across its entire model portfolio, with the Alto K10, Brezza, Celerio, etc having been updated with six airbags as standard in recent months.
In addition to the six airbags, the Eeco now comes with three-point seatbelts for all passengers, with the front seats also featuring seatbelt pre-tensioners and force limiters. Aside from these, the MPV continues to offer anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, electronic brakeforce distribution, and seatbelt reminders for the front seats.
2025 Maruti Eeco seating layouts
7-seater Eeco variant discontinued
The updated Eeco lineup drops the older 7-seat layout, and in its place, Maruti Suzuki has added two new 6-seater variants that come with second row captain seats. The 5-seater variants remain unchanged.
2025 Maruti Eeco design updates
Since this is a model refresh, no alterations have been made to the Eeco’s exterior or interior. The MPV still gets rectangular halogen headlamps and vertically-oriented tail-lamps, as well as 13-inch steel wheels without covers. It’s much the same on the inside, with the same dashboard layout and three-spoke steering wheel. However, there is some new trim on the pillars and updated roof liners to accommodate the airbags.
New features included in 2025 update
In terms of features, the Eeco now comes with fabric seat upholstery (previously PVC) and outboard reclining front seats (previously inboard). For the 5-seater variants, the boot also features luggage retention, which restricts luggage movement during a collision to ensure passenger safety.
2025 Maruti Eeco powertrain
Now E20 compliant
While the Eeco is still powered by a 80hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a 5-speed manual, it has been updated to support E20 fuel (20 percent ethanol, 80 percent petrol) in accordance with recent government regulations.
A 70hp CNG variant is also available for those looking to extract as much fuel efficiency as possible from the Eeco. However, the CNG kit is only available for the 5-seater variants, with the 6-seater Eeco models solely available with the petrol engine.
