Maruti Suzuki Eeco Cargo — Price, Mileage, Variants & Expert Review

Behind the two front seats of the Eeco Cargo is the whole product: a covered, flat-floored load bay in a van that is 3,675 mm long outside and 1,825 mm tall, listed at 540 litres of space and priced from ₹5.39 lakh. Maruti has deleted the rear bench, added a covered cargo cabin, flat bed, lockable driver and back doors, and a rear cabin lamp — the details a delivery operator actually touches fifty times a day. Three variants run to ₹6.61 lakh, and the 915 kg kerb weight keeps the K12N engine from feeling burdened.

The people buying this are couriers, kirana suppliers, e-commerce franchisees and tradesmen who need an enclosed city hauler with a car licence, not a truck permit. The 1,197cc engine offers 81 PS with a claimed 20.2 kmpl on petrol, or 72 PS on CNG claiming 27.05 km/kg — the best mileage in its band and 15 PS per lakh of value. Within the small five-model minivan segment it ranks third on price, sitting just above its passenger-carrying Eeco siblings.

Ownership & Running Costs

Standard Maruti intervals; for high-km delivery duty, oil changes every 5,000-7,500 km are prudent (indicative)

Simple, proven K12N mechanicals and commodity parts keep annual upkeep among the lowest of any commercial vehicle (indicative)

Commercial goods-carrier registration changes the insurance category — get a commercial quote, not a private-car estimate (indicative)

At the claimed 27.05 km/kg, CNG running lands near ₹2.7-3.1 per km; petrol at 20.2 kmpl roughly ₹4.8-5.3 (indicative)

GaadiInfo Verdict

Buy the CNG variant unless your delivery radius genuinely lacks pumps — at commercial mileage the 27.05 km/kg claim is the entire margin story, and the petrol's 20.2 kmpl surrenders it. Within the three variants, the cheapest CNG trim is the correct one; nothing costlier adds load capacity or economy. As a first vehicle for a delivery business, this is the lowest-risk purchase in the class.

  • Spec the CNG and plan refuelling into your route map — queue time at pumps is a real operating cost, so verify pump density where you deliver
  • Negotiate as a commercial buyer: ask about corporate/fleet discounts even for a single unit, and price the petrol against CNG using your actual monthly km
  • At PDI, check the cargo bay floor is truly flat and unscratched, test both back-door locks, and confirm the CNG cylinder certification plate and tank straps
