New Maruti-Suzuki BS6 EECO CNG: CHECK DETAILS!

India’s largest carmaker has launched the BS6 compliant CNG model of the EECO MPV. Maruti produces the greatest number of CNG cars in India in line with its ‘Mission Green Million’ initiative that came into limelight at the Auto expo 2020. The company has already sold over a million green cars that not just includes CNG but also smart hybrid cars like the Ciaz. Maruti wants to aid the government in reducing the oil imports and increase the market share of natural gas from 6.2% to 15% by 2030. 

Eeco replaced the Versa in 2010 and has been a bestseller for Maruti Suzuki. Though the more popular Omni had to be discontinued as it could not meet the BS6 norms but Maruti decided to tweak the Eeco to make it compatible for BS6. Maruti Suzuki enjoys a humongous 87% market share in the van segment.
 

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The Eeco comes with a 1.2 litre 4-cylinder engine that churns out 73 bhp and 101 Nm of peak torque. The mill is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. There is no option of automatic transmission. The Eeco CNG variant is fitted with a S-CNG kit which has been calibrated to deliver optimum performance and enhanced driveability across all kinds of terrains.
