As Maruti Suzuki has its plan to cease the production of BSIV engines ahead of the April 2020 deadline, we can look to see the upgraded version of the Omni and Eeco’s engines compliant to the new BSVI emission standards ruled out by the Indian government. Those tweaked generations will also come with more safety kits added such as dual airbags, anti-lock brake system, electronic brake-force distribution, seatbelt reminder and reverse parking sensors as standard in years to come.
