Maruti has not updated Eeco’s design significantly in over a decade, why?

I think it's smart. At this point, the Eeco is iconic design. It would also alienate its core customer base that love its no frills approach.

They must be cutting costs. Redesigning a vehicle is expensive, and the whole appeal of the Eeco is its low price. If it was a major update, then it would’ve probably pushed it out of its target market.

It's not just about design. But updating the Eeco to modern safety standards would mean a complete re engineering, which would make it much more expensive. I guess Maruti's avoiding that to keep it affordable.

Part of its charm is the unchanged design. The Ambassador... it gets cooler the longer it stays the same. It’s retro, but never tries to be.

It must be about manufacturing efficiency. It’s probably that over the years they have optimized the production process and messing with the design would mess with that.
Is the Maruti Eeco the most versatile vehicle in India in disguise?
30 December 2024 07:45
Absolutely! Indian roads have a Swiss Army knife called the Eeco. This is cheap, it's reliable and you can do pretty much whatever you want with it. Some I've seen them turned into mobile shops, ambulances, and even a mini RV. For those who enjoy DIY, it’s the perfect blank canvas.

No way, man. On wheels, the Eeco is a death trap. Yes, it's versatile, but at what price? There are no safety features at all and it crumples like a tin can in an accident. But there are much better options out there that won't put your life at risk.

But let’s not get carried away; it’s versatile. The Eeco is popular because it is extremely cheap and easy to maintain. It's not the magical do it all vehicle. It's just a normal van used by people who cannot afford anything nicer.

The simplicity of the Eeco, I believe, makes it versatile. No fancy tech, no complicated systems to deal with. It’s just a box on wheels with an engine that is easy to modify and adapt for other purposes.

The Eeco is certainly underrated. Despite its RWD setup, it's surprisingly fun to drive, and mod it a bit and suddenly you're on the road to fun. If you know what you’re doing, it’s like a budget drift machine!

Versatile? Maybe. It's also a symbol of all that is wrong with Indian automotive safety standards. We shouldn't be celebrating a vehicle that is, in essence, a coffin on wheels.

It’s versatile in the same way a hammer is versatile, I’d say. Of course, it can be used for a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best tool for all tasks. It's cheap, it's available, and that's why it's popular, not because it's actually good at everything.
Will the improved safety and features of the new Dzire kill the compact SUV trend?

No way. And compact SUVs still have the big selling points of high seating position and road presence. That is something which the Dzire can not compete with.
Will the improved safety and features of the new Dzire kill the compact SUV trend?
30 December 2024 07:40
It might actually! What people bought was compact SUVs to be safe. Many might prefer the better fuel efficiency if sedans can do that.
Will the improved safety and features of the new Dzire kill the compact SUV trend?

It's going to eat a little bit into the compact SUV market, I think, but not kill it. Some people just like the SUV look, no matter what.

It could be huge for sedan lovers. So finally we can get all the good stuff without having to go for a bulky SUV!

It's not just about features. Our roads and floods are better with SUVs. The ground clearance of the Dzire can’t be changed.

It has the safety and features of an SUV, without a boat to tow it… and all in a hatchback that won’t kill your gas mileage. I see it appealing to the city dwellers that want the feature but don’t require the bulk of an SUV. It could be a game changer in metros.
Will the improved safety and features of the new Dzire kill the compact SUV trend?
30 December 2024 07:40
Real talk: a lot of compact SUV buyers are buying in the name of the image. That fancy Dzire isn’t going to turn that mindset around overnight.
Are all these new features in the Dzire risking Maruti's reliability reputation?
30 December 2024 07:40
I'm worried. With more tech comes more that can go wrong. The simplicity had always been Maruti's strength.
