Suzuki PH displays Eeco nameplate

MANILA: Suzuki Philippines (SPH) has showcased a possible new offering that could be offered in the country — the Eeco.

The aforementioned model was displayed at the 2024 Philippine Commercial Vehicle Show (PCVS) and was previewed alongside the  Ertiga Hybrid outfitted as a taxi, Carry in utility van and public utility vehicle Class 1 forms, and the APV GA.

As seen in the photos posted in its official Facebook page, the Suzuki Eeco van seen at the show seems to be the nameplate’s cargo van option. Its rear compartment features a flat floor and a cage-type divider that separates the two passengers at the front from the load being hauled.

Aside from the tailgate, a pair of sliding doors fitted on both sides offer access to the voluminous cargo area.

While waiting for the automotive manufacturer’s distributor in the country to formally announce the possible start of its sales, here are the specifications of the Suzuki Eeco in other markets.

The Suzuki Eeco is 3,675 millimeters (mm) long; 1,475 mm wide; and 1,930 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,350 mm and turning radius of 4.5 meters.

Propelling the vehicle is the 1.2-liter Advanced K-Series dual jet, dual variable valve timing gasoline engine that can deliver a peak output of around 80 horsepower and 104.4 Newton-meters of torque. It also has the capacity to provide 19.71 kilometers-per-liter fuel efficiency.

Further the said mill is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

The aforementioned vehicle is said to be fitted with more than 11 safety features that include engine immobilizer, illuminated hazard switch, dual airbags, anti-lock braking system with electronic brakeforce distribution, child lock door functions, reverse parking sensors and dual airbags.

To directly compete against the likes of the Toyota Lite Ace once it is officially offered in the country, the Suzuki Eeco is a workhorse that might be added to the brand’s commercial vehicle entries in the market.
