Maruti Suzuki has launched the 2025 Maruti Suzuki Eeco in India with a significant safety upgrade — 6 airbags as standard across all variants.
This move is a landmark shift for the Eeco, traditionally seen as a budget-friendly people mover and small commercial vehicle. With the addition of front, side, and curtain airbags, the Eeco now provides enhanced protection for all occupants, including rear passengers, making it one of the safest options in its segment.
Why 6 Airbags are important in 2025 Maruti Suzuki Eeco?
The inclusion of 6 airbags is crucial in a country where road safety remains a serious concern. According to Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) data, India has one of the highest road accident rates globally. While many vehicles in the budget segment have historically lacked essential safety features, the 2025 Eeco now aligns with global safety standards, marking a significant step towards safer mass mobility.
This update is important for several reasons:
- Improved Occupant Protection: Side and curtain airbags for rear passengers enhance safety during side impacts or rollovers, making the Eeco safer for families and passengers.
- Safer for Commercial Use: The Eeco is widely used for commercial purposes, and adding more airbags ensures better safety for drivers and passengers alike.
- Regulatory Compliance: With the government pushing for stricter safety norms, the Eeco’s 6-airbag feature ensures that it meets upcoming regulations, such as the Bharat NCAP.
Additionally, the 2025 Eeco comes with refreshed design elements, a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and updated cabin materials for a more premium feel. It also features ABS with EBD, Rear Parking Sensors, and Child Safety Locks.
