Maruti Suzuki India has officially introduced an upgraded version of the reverse parking assistance system (RPAS) on the cargo variants of the Maruti Eeco. The Indo-Japanese carmaker officially announced the same through a regulatory filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The company says the revised prices of the vehicle will vary from Rs. 4.27 lakh to Rs. 5.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), and will be effective from April 21, 2021. The Eeco cargo comes in both petrol and CNG versions.
Apart from the newly added RPAS system, the cargo variants of the Eeco come equipped with a speed limiting device, reflector strips, side-impact beams, and more. The Eeco van comes loaded with safety features such as a driver airbag, ABS with EBD, seat belt reminder, and reverse parking sensor.
Maruti Suzuki Eeco Cargo is powered by a 1.2-litre BS6 compliant engine.
The Maruti Suzuki Eeco cargo is powered by the same 1.2-litre, four-cylinder engine that powers a range of Maruti's BS6 models. It churns out 72 bhp and 98 Nm of peak torque. There is also a CNG variant in the Eeco line-up that delivers a 46 bhp and 85 Nm of torque. The company says around 17 per cent of total Eeco sales are attributed to the CNG variant.
