Maruti Suzuki Wagon R vs Maruti Suzuki Eeco Comparison

To date, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R remains the most functional hatchback for an Indian family. It is not a driver’s car or a luxury statement; instead, it is a practical tool for transportation, and Maruti Suzuki has built it that way. The 1.2-litre engine also refines what was missing in previous generations, making it the go-to city car that can also handle occasional highway sprints. However, the safety aspect cannot be ignored either, as the 1-star Global NCAP rating is quite poor in an era where consumers are becoming increasingly safety-conscious.
Siddharth concludes,
“It remains a purpose-built, practical urban car, but now with added panache and modern tech. By offering two engine choices and an AMT option from the launch, Maruti has set a new benchmark for the segment.” 

Overall, if you prioritise highway driving, there are better options in the Indian market. But if you want a spacious, reliable, and highly efficient city car, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is the pragmatic king.
 

The Eeco has been a workhorse for the Maruti Suzuki brand in the country for many years be it for ferrying passengers or loading a lot of cargo. It is really practical owing to features like less price, superior interior space and high fuel efficiency. Where it falters is lack of good ride quality and not having enough safety features. A missing strong rival means the field is pretty much clear for the Eeco.
