Ciro is back!!!! So happy to see you back. Jacob and Ash did a great job with the reviews over the past few weeks but its so great to see you back 😄. I saw a snippit of Mpho really enjoying this little Eeco there 😅. Your'll are such a great team and the best motoring channel in my opinion.
Welcome back Sir Ciro, good to see you back in circulation, hope you enjoyed your leave. On the EECO, im surprised it has stability control,that is some fancy tech for a cargo van. But its kind of needed as its light, high of the ground and has skinny tyres. Also surprised is has the k12 engine, in other markets the commercial vehicles either get the K15 or M16A, but hey, its a step up from the old Alto engine. Also love the fact they just ripped the centre dash from the Spresso.
These look amazing and this review captures the spirit of these vehicles quite well 😂 suzuki just knows how to make simple cars that'll put a smile on your face. I bought super carry as my main mode of transport as I wanted a bakkie that was also rear wheel drive and it didn't disappoint 😂 hands down the most fun vehicle I have driven. My commute was 75km every single day driving on the N1 at 120km/h most of the time (more like 110km/h actual speed) and it returned an average of about 7.5l/100 on average. The lowest I've ever seen the fuel consumption was 6.8l/100km while using the ouma technique. The super carry does have the G12B motor which is different to the eeco and the eeco should most certainly be slightly more fuel efficient but I don't think it'll get much better than 6.5l/100km if driven properly 🤔
I'm so glad you guys did a review on the Eeco. I've been quietly obsessing over it ever since I recently saw it on the road. I want one, not for commercial reasons, but as more of a lifestyle van. I was wondering about the interior, but it appears to be more or less what I expected. Now seriously considering buying one! Thanks for sharing your views. 🩷
fabulous little van - honest and superbly practical ! Great value for money if you don't want the considerable costs of bakkie ownership - none of them are cheap to keep on the road ! even more so when you think of how expensive almost every other van on the market is !
Great review, thanks. I own two 1980's units, one 1987 1000cc sold locally in SA and the other is a 1988 550cc (imported from Japan) ... best little busses ever made.
I knew I recognized the road.. Old Malmesbury Road, from Kalbaaskraal to Philadelphia.. a really nice road for road tests actually, lovely views. Lovely little van, and you right, just need better weels and wider tyres.
Thanks for this video. Am currently in need of a small van for my handyman business and am juggling between a Fiat Fiorino or the Eeco. My pocket says Eeco as well as my "spares availability " sensor is sending up green flags.
3:36 You've to be specific for the "1.2l, 4cyl gas engine" though, some markets get 1196cc G-series while others get 1197cc K-series, one on this video probably is the K12N(detuned to 82ps). Eeco also came with a family car version getting 1.3l 1298cc G13BB engine making 85bhp & 113Nm torque much like the K12M(82-86bhp, & 113/115Nm torque) engine.
Hi .....i dont think wider wheels would fit because of the front struts .... maybe a 175 wide 13 inch alloy wheel would be the biggest.......this would make a great microcamper🤫.....the service plan isnt really a big issue its super cheap to maintain first 4 years is basically oil changes.
Unfortunately it doesn't exist, at least not in South Africa or in India. Interestingly a similar model exists in Japan with both 4WD and Automatic as optional features, and can be imported to South Africa as Japan also keeps to the Left and has the Steering Wheel on the Right.
Maruti Suzuki Omni was India's best seller since 80s all through the 90s. Now we have Maruti Suzuki Eeco in passenger and cargo varients. Simple, Fuel Efficient, Reliable and has good resale value. Defogger is not provided in India.
I get that small commercial vehicles are necessary in some circumstances but I feel there's no excuse for it to be unsafe. I can't imagine that it even has a properly strengthened passenger cell. It's a bit scary.
The Eeco has seatbelts, tubeless tyres, airbags, bumper & some bulge on it's nose, what more u can ask for in a van? Ppl even ride on bikes, & nothing is completely safe afterall.
Suzuki sold suzuki carry van as maruti omni van in india and omni was sold in india for 35 years and it was launched in india in 1984 and discontinued in india in 2019 . eeco and super carry are successor to omni van and omni cargo van

This is the best car review I've ever watched. The review is epic because the car has all the hallmarks of a legend.
What a Vantastic review! 😜
I see what you did there 😢
Really nice to see you again, mate😊

GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK ON THE SCREEN!!!!!!!
Welcome back cirro. I won't be missing any more reviews again. Good job ash and Jacob
Welcome back Ciro!
I laughed entirely too hard at 8:48 classic Ciro right there! 😂
Welcome back Ciro!! I have been wondering where you've been.
As for “You can have any colour as long as it’s white, and you can have any engine you like as long as its a 1.2L four cylinder petrol” 😂😂
The channel whose reviews i always share 1st with friends as always with great humour good info and awesome videos
Glad you’re back Ciro. Some people are meant for video and others are better suited at radio
Awesome review Ciro!
Welcome back Sir!
I want one !!!
fabulous little van - honest and superbly practical ! Great value for money if you don't want the considerable costs of bakkie ownership - none of them are cheap to keep on the road ! even more so when you think of how expensive almost every other van on the market is !

They are amazing vehicles! Wishing you many happy miles
Welcome Back Uncle OOm.

I knew I recognized the road.. Old Malmesbury Road, from Kalbaaskraal to Philadelphia.. a really nice road for road tests actually, lovely views. Lovely little van, and you right, just need better weels and wider tyres.
Welcome back Ciro
I can see these being Camper converted and convoys of them all over South Africa. Watch out for the Corrals at the camping site!
I beg your pardon it does have a cup holder at the back of the handbrake. Theres a little flap that folds open
Missed Ciro so much,here i am watching a panel van review
Thanks for this video. Am currently in need of a small van for my handyman business and am juggling between a Fiat Fiorino or the Eeco. My pocket says Eeco as well as my "spares availability " sensor is sending up green flags.
Practical panel van. This is the car I should try 👍👍

YES! MY PERSON IS BACK ❤🎉
This was the standard vehicle of nuns at the Roman Catholic convent in Parow (Northern Suburbs, Cape Town) in the 80s and 90s! 😊
I am now certain, I want this car as my daily commute ❤
Welcome back!
Eish, half loaf indeed! Still wondering why Suzuki doesn't put their 1.4 turbo engine in more of their cars. Like the new Grand Vitara for example...
Welcome back bra yaka
Waiting for Toyota to come rebadge the Ecco
Welcome back Ciro🤘🏼❤
Toyota mini-Ace or tiny-Ace
Toyota Quantumania 😆
Lol they will use it to replace its ventures😂😂🤣😂
The Su car is very beautiful, hopefully it will be available for sale in Vietnam soon
Suzuki Carry (Omni )was favourite for Kidnappers in India
Hey Ciro😀😀😀 i had missed the "hello"
Excelent description...
Nice video Sir
Good car for doing deliveries for your small business ❤
Drinks holder is at the back of the center console
Ladies and Gentlemen - I present to you - South Africa's newest 12 seat Taxi 😬
Can you fit some spacers and mags to make it more stable?❤
Hi .....i dont think wider wheels would fit because of the front struts .... maybe a 175 wide 13 inch alloy wheel would be the biggest.......this would make a great microcamper🤫.....the service plan isnt really a big issue its super cheap to maintain first 4 years is basically oil changes.
On drink holder just behind the handbrake.
Should bring out a 4x4 version of this.
Unfortunately it doesn't exist, at least not in South Africa or in India. Interestingly a similar model exists in Japan with both 4WD and Automatic as optional features, and can be imported to South Africa as Japan also keeps to the Left and has the Steering Wheel on the Right.
Yeah ofc, would be cool af.
@@NomadMan31 I guess SA, India, Japan are all strictly right side drive countries.
So similar to the standard Isuzu KB, but probably quicker.. 😊

As my name says.. I’m very comfortable 😄😎
Bigger tekkies; how would it do on a bit of an off road adventure?
I have useing that cars, eeco, omni
Wow!! Any color???...I would love it in white😂😂😂😂
can you pis do 20009 Lexus review
😀
I get that small commercial vehicles are necessary in some circumstances but I feel there's no excuse for it to be unsafe. I can't imagine that it even has a properly strengthened passenger cell. It's a bit scary.
It has a seat belt, that's about it
The Eeco has seatbelts, tubeless tyres, airbags, bumper & some bulge on it's nose, what more u can ask for in a van? Ppl even ride on bikes, & nothing is completely safe afterall.
The Taxi from Takalani Sesame...
Would've made a nice campervan if the load bed was 2 meters long 🤔
Thank you Jesus I have missed you
Suzuki sold suzuki carry van as maruti omni van in india and omni was sold in india for 35 years and it was launched in india in 1984 and discontinued in india in 2019 . eeco and super carry are successor to omni van and omni cargo van
R199k is a bit high for what you get
Can you sleep in the back? I'm thinking mini camper...
Needs a 40mm drop, turbo and cruise control...
This thing the kwid and the espresso are as we say in Afrikaans, n doodskus op wiele. You crash you dead
😭😂😂😂😂 you're literally dead or limbs lost now a vegetable but yea that's true you're dead. Bloody hell.
That's why it had abs and all those other things,suzuki know this thing is gonna crumple like a cool drink can in any crash
Here to replace the Np200
😂😂, half loaf has memories
Finally 😅
I hope the Subaru did not break
08:20 😂😂😂 if you don't get it forget about it
Eeco needs more seats
Those tyres are scary
Really 300kgs, that is the weight of one American
😂
You can have any colour as long as its white😂😂😂😂
Lol well come back
I wouldn’t hit 80km/h and be comfortable in that
Waar was my neef??🤣
زعلن
death coffins
Coffin on wheels?🙃
It looks horrible.
But why do I love it so much
absolutely no safety features
