We have mentioned several times on our blog that the new Maruti Eeco comes with a K-series engine but it actually turns out that the Eeco still maintains the 1.3L G13B engine found on the old Versa and Swift but with a lower bore and stroke that brings the engine capacity down to just 1196cc. The G13B engine has been modified and upgraded to meet the Bharat Stage-4 norms.

The engine now gets a new induction system and light weight pistons in the interests of better fuel economy and lower intertia. The engine now makes 73bhp @ 6000rpm and 103Nm @ 3000rpm. However, since this vehicle is rear wheel drive, the losses at the wheels are more as compared to front drive vehicles.
