Maruti Suzuki has launched its Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) at the Auto Expo. The five-seater variant of the MPV has been priced at Rs.2,59,000 while the seven-seater variant will retail for Rs.2,75,000. The manufacturer had earlier also unveiled an electric version of the vehicle. Maruti Suzuki intends sales of the Eeco to hover around the 40,000 unit mark annually. The electric EECO's will be on taxi duty at the 2010 commonwealth games, while the petrol powered EECOs go on sale from today.



The electric Eeco is powered by a 5KW lithium ion battery pack which gives the MPV a range of 100kms and pushes it a top-speed of 100kph.
