Maruti Omni (2016)

Thursday, 25 October 2018 07:51 AM Maruti Suzuki announced that the Omni would be discontinued due to its inability to meet new crash test norms. The vehicles flat front design lacks the structural integrity to incorporate crumple zones, making it unsafe according to new safety standards. I think this was a necessary step, even though its sad to see such an iconic vehicle go.

Monday, 15 August 2016 09:12 AM In 2016, the Maruti Omni continued to be a practical and versatile vehicle, serving roles such as a people-mover, ambulance, and courier-delivery vehicle. Despite its basic design and lack of modern safety features, it remained popular for its value for money and fuel efficiency. I believe its simplicity was part of its charm, but safety should always be a priority.

Wednesday, 20 July 2016 03:38 PM The Maruti Omni was available in various variants, including petrol and LPG models, with prices ranging from Rs. 2.08 lakh to Rs. 3.07 lakh. It had a seating capacity of 2, 5, and 8 seats, making it a versatile option for different needs. The vehicles 796cc engine produced 37bhp and 62Nm of torque. I think the multiple seating options were a big selling point for this van.

Friday, 10 June 2016 10:00 PM Despite its age, the Maruti Omni still managed to deliver a decent fuel economy, with an ARAI mileage of 14.96 kmpl for the petrol version and 10.9 kmpl for the LPG version. This made it a favorite among those looking for an economical vehicle. I believe the fuel efficiency was one of its strongest selling points.
