In the Indian automotive market, few vehicles can claim the sheer utility of the Maruti Suzuki Eeco. Whether it’s navigating narrow city lanes for e-commerce deliveries or serving as a high-occupancy family mover in semi-urban areas, the Eeco is an undisputed king of its niche. To keep this momentum going in 2026, Maruti Suzuki has introduced the Eeco Star Edition, a specialized accessory package designed to elevate the van’s “premium” quotient.
The Star Edition isn’t a standalone trim but an accessory bundle valued at ₹37,000, which Maruti is currently offering at a promotional price of ₹19,999. Here is everything you need to know about this new avatar.
1. Exterior Overhaul: Getting the “Premium” Look
Historically, the Eeco has been criticized for its basic, “boxed” appearance. The Star Edition addresses this with 18 distinct accessories that significantly alter its road presence.
- Body-Coloured Bumpers: For the first time, the Eeco receives factory-endorsed body-coloured bumpers in Metallic Brisk Blue and Metallic Glistening Grey. This single change removes the “commercial” feel associated with the standard black plastic bumpers.
- Sporty Accents: The package includes a roof-mounted rear spoiler, stylish wheel covers, and door visors.
- Chrome Treatment: To satisfy the Indian buyer’s love for “bling,” the Star Edition adds chrome garnish around the headlamps, fog lamps, and taillights, along with a prominent chrome “Eeco” emblem on the tailgate.
2. Cabin Enhancements: Beyond Utility
Step inside, and the Star Edition tries to shed the Eeco’s “bare-bones” reputation. The focus here is on improving the ambience and comfort for the driver and passengers alike.
- Interior Styling Kit: The dashboard now features faux wooden trims, giving the cabin a much-needed splash of sophistication.
- Seating Comfort: The bundle includes specialized leatherette seat covers and a leatherette steering wheel cover, which are far more durable and easier to clean than the standard fabric options.
- Practical Add-ons: Rounding out the interior are premium floor mats and door sill guards to protect high-wear areas.
3. The Power of Choice: Petrol & CNG
While the aesthetics have changed, the mechanical heart remains the same reliable 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine.
| Spec | Petrol Mode | CNG Mode |
| Power | 80.7 bhp | 71.1 bhp |
| Torque | 104.4 Nm | 95 Nm |
| Fuel Efficiency | 19.71 km/l | 26.78 km/kg |
The Star Edition package is available across the 5-seater Standard, 5-seater AC, and 5-seater AC CNG variants. It also retains the modern safety suite introduced earlier this year, featuring six airbags as standard, ABS with EBD, and ESP.
The Verdict: Is it Worth the ₹20,000?
With standard Eeco prices ranging from ₹5.21 lakh to ₹6.36 lakh (ex-showroom), the ₹19,999 premium for the Star Edition represents excellent value. If you were to purchase these 18 accessories individually at a dealership, the cost would exceed ₹35,000.
For the private buyer who uses the Eeco as a primary family vehicle, the Star Edition provides the visual “freshness” needed to make it stand out in the driveway, all while maintaining the van’s legendary low cost of ownership.
