Maruti Eeco turns 10-year-old, 7 lakh units sold in a decade

The Maruti Eeco was introduced in India in 2010. The multipurpose van has recently completed 10 years of existence in the domestic market. In this period, Maruti Suzuki sold a whopping 7 lakh units of the Eeco.

Within two years of launch, over 1 lakh units of the Maruti Eeco were sold. Since then, the sales graph of the vehicle has been on the rise. In 2014, the carmaker reported selling 1 lakh units of the Eeco once again. Soon the van became very popular, especially in the cargo market.

Considering this growing demand, Maruti Suzuki grabbed the opportunity and launched the new Eeco Cargo in 2015. From this point onwards, the company sold over 1 lakh units of the Maruti Versa spin-off for 3 consecutive years! By 2018, a sale of total 5 lakh units was completed. Now, after 10 years since launched, the Maruti Eeco has achieved the 7 lakh sales milestone.

Over the years, Maruti Suzuki has implemented several updates in the Eeco. Today, it is available in many variants including CNG trims. Customers can either pick the 5-seater model or the 7-seater model based on their requirements. Some of the key features of the van include:

• Spacious cabin
