Maruti Eeco Star Edition Launched: The “Kaam Wali Gadi” Gets a Stylish New Look!

The Maruti Eeco has long been the backbone of India’s multi-purpose vehicle market, serving as a reliable tool for both commercial and personal use. However, Maruti Suzuki is now addressing the model's traditionally utilitarian styling.
The newly launched Maruti Eeco ‘Star Edition’ brings a fresh aesthetic to the lineup. This smart accessory package aims to elevate the van’s road presence without altering its proven mechanical foundation.
Here is everything you need to know about the new Star Edition, from its launch price and mileage to the specific accessories included in the kit.

What Exactly is the “Star Edition” & Its Launch Date?

Rather than being a standalone new model, the Star Edition is a curated accessory upgrade package. Officially introduced to the Indian market in May 2026, this "Style Kit" is designed for the standard five-seater variant. For an additional premium over the base price, the package integrates 18 distinct accessories aimed at enhancing the vehicle’s visual appeal.

Launch Price and Specifications: Is it Worth the Money?

This is the best part. The accessory package is priced very aggressively.
  • Package Cost: ₹ 19,999 (ex-showroom, on top of the base car price).
  • Total Value: Maruti claims these accessories are worth ₹ 37,000, so you are effectively saving about 45% by buying this package.
Which Variants Get it? The Star Edition is available only on the 5-Seater AC and the 5-Seater AC CNG variants.
Variant-wise Pricing (Ex-showroom, Delhi):
  • Note: The package is added to the base price of the car.
VariantBase Price (Approx.)+ Star Edition (₹19,999)
Eeco 5-Seater AC₹ 5.21 Lakhs~ ₹ 5.41 Lakhs
Eeco 5-Seater CNG₹ 6.36 Lakhs~ ₹ 6.56 Lakhs
Prices may vary slightly by state.

What’s New? A Detailed Look at the 18 Accessories

Why is everyone talking about this? Because the Star Edition addresses the biggest complaint about the Eeco: plastic (black) bumpers. Here is the full list of upgrades:

Exterior Upgrades (The “Look Good” Factor)

  • Body-Coloured Bumpers: The biggest visual change. The front and rear bumpers are now painted in the car’s body colour instead of the standard black plastic.
  • Styling Add-ons: Gets a cool-looking Rear Spoiler and Fog Lamps with chrome garnish.
  • Chrome & Badging: Shiny chrome grille strips and a special “Eeco” chrome badge at the back.
  • Other Items: Stylish Wheel Covers, Door Visors, and Mud Flaps.

Interior Upgrades (The “Feel Good” Factor)

  • Leatherette Seat Covers: Yes, the humble Eeco now gets premium faux leather seats.
  • Cabin Styling: There is a faux wooden finish on the dashboard (Interior styling kit) and a leatherette cover for the steering wheel.
Color Options: This special edition is offered in two new premium shades:
  • ✨ Metallic Brisk Blue
  • ✨ Metallic Glistening Grey

Engine and Mileage (What remains the same)

Under the hood, the Star Edition is exactly the same as the standard Eeco. Maruti has not touched the engine or transmission.
  • Engine: 1.2-liter K-Series Petrol (K12N).
  • Power: 81 bhp (Petrol) / 71 bhp (CNG).
  • Transmission: 5-speed Manual (No automatic option).
The Mileage (The most important part):
  • Petrol: 19.71 km/l.
  • CNG: 26.78 km/kg.

Safety Features

Maruti has been improving safety across its lineup, and the Eeco now comes standard with features that were missing earlier.
  • **Standard 6 Airbags **.
  • **ABS with EBD **.
  • Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
  • **Rear Parking Sensors **.

Application Process: How to Buy the Star Edition

Thinking of booking one? The process is simple, but there is a catch (explained below).
  1. Step 1: Visit your nearest Maruti Suzuki Arena dealership.
  2. Step 2: Book the Eeco 5-Seater AC or CNG variant (The 7-seater and non-AC base variants do not get this kit).
  3. Step 3: Specifically ask for the “Star Edition” accessory pack. It costs ₹19,999.
  4. Step 4: The dealership will either fit the accessories at the dealer level or deliver the car with them pre-fitted.

Important Documents and Eligibility

  • Eligibility: Only available on the 5-Seater variants. If you buy the 7-seater (6+1 seater) or the low-end non-AC version, this package is not available.
  • Documentation: Standard car buying documents (ID, Address, PAN, etc.).
  • Existing Owners? As of the launch, this kit is primarily for factory-fresh purchases. There is no official announcement yet on whether existing Eeco owners can walk into a workshop and buy these parts for the same ₹19,999 price.

Current Offers & Discounts (May 2026)

Poora Review Hinglish Mein (Maruti Eeco Star Edition)

Bhai log, Maruti ne Eeco ka naya "Star Edition" launch kar diya hai!
Socho, woh wali gaadi jo road pe full "kaam wali" lagti thi, ab usme bhi Style aa gaya hai. Sirf ₹20,000 extra dekar aapko Body-Coloured Bumpers, Spoiler, LED-like fog lamps, aur andar se Leatherette Seat Covers mil rahe hai. Pura look badal jaata hai. Pehle yeh accessories ₹37,000 ke the, ab ₹19,999 mein mil rahe hai.
Agar aap family ke liye 5-seater van le rahe ho, toh CNG wali lelo (26 km/kg mileage) aur yeh Star Edition zaroor lena. Gaadi sasti bhi hai aur ab Premium bhi lagti hai. Bas ek catch hai — yeh sirf 5-seater AC model pe milta hai, 7-seater pe nahi. Full value for money deal hai!
