Maruti Suzuki Omni

The design of the Maruti Suzuki Omni being a flat front lacks the structural integrity to conform to the new crash norms. It cannot be fitted with crumple zones to absorb the impact in case of a collision. Other products under scanner are the Eeco Van and the entry-level Alto 800 hatchback. Maruti Suzuki is maintaining that its team is working on their design and are trying to make sure the carscomply with the upcoming safety standards. "It is not that the Eeco and Alto 800 cannot be made ready to meet the safety standards. They will require extensive development and we are trying to ready them for the upcoming safety norms," added Bhargava.
