Maruti Suzuki is back with a surprise no one saw coming. The legendary Omni, once the go-to van for Indian families, has now been spotted in an all-new luxurious form combining modern styling, advanced features, and unmatched practicality under an affordable price tag.
What makes this return even more exciting is the mileage figure. Yes, the new Omni promises up to 32 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient family cars in India. And despite the upgrades, it still remains within reach of middle-class buyers giving it the perfect balance of performance, looks, and price.
Let’s take a full look at this stunning new budget-friendly multi-utility car that’s getting everyone’s attention in 2025.
A Fresh and Premium Design for the New Generation
The new Omni no longer looks like a simple boxy van. Maruti has completely refreshed its exterior with a luxury-inspired design that now competes with other modern compact MPVs.
From the front, it gets a bold new grille, squared headlamps with LED DRLs, and a sharper bonnet line that gives it a powerful road presence. The bumper is redesigned to look sporty and functional at the same time. From the sides, the sliding doors are retained, but now come with body-colored handles and stylish wheel arches.
At the rear, it features wraparound tail lamps, a clean tailgate finish, and a chrome strip that adds a premium feel. The overall styling now looks refined and confident — perfect for families who want a modern-looking 7-seater without spending too much.
A Cabin That Feels Spacious and Upmarket
Inside, the new Omni feels like a completely different car. The dashboard is finished in dual-tone color combinations and now comes with modern touches like a digital instrument cluster, touchscreen infotainment system, and premium fabric seats.
There is enough space for 7 passengers, with foldable rear seats for added cargo flexibility. Even tall passengers will find good headroom and leg space, thanks to the tall-boy design.
For comfort, it now comes equipped with:
- Power steering
- Front power windows
- Air conditioning with rear vents
- Cup holders and rear armrest
- Central locking system
The new Omni has been designed with families in mind. Whether it’s school drops, daily office runs, or weekend trips, this car offers space, comfort, and practicality all in one.
Efficient Engine with Unbelievable Mileage
What truly sets this Omni apart is its mileage claim of 32 kmpl. Maruti has introduced a new BS6-compliant petrol-CNG engine, tuned for high efficiency while keeping running costs ultra-low.
The petrol engine offers around 50–55 bhp with smooth low-end torque, making it ideal for city driving and occasional highway cruising. With CNG mode activated, the running cost per km drops drastically — making it one of the cheapest cars to drive in India.
The 5-speed manual gearbox is light and easy to use, perfect for both experienced and new drivers.
Mileage Details:
- Petrol: ~22–24 kmpl
- CNG: ~30–32 km/kg
- Tank Capacity: 10–12 litres + 60L CNG tank
- Range: Over 600 km in one fill (CNG + petrol combined)
This fuel-saving ability alone makes the new Omni a top choice for budget-focused families and small businesses.
New Safety Features for Indian Roads
Unlike the older generation Omni, which had very basic safety equipment, the new 2025 model comes with multiple safety upgrades to meet today’s standards.
It includes:
- Driver + passenger airbags
- ABS with EBD
- Rear parking sensors
- Engine immobilizer
- Speed alert and seatbelt reminders
- Stronger body structure with crumple zones
This ensures peace of mind for families using the car for daily commutes, school drops, or outstation travel.
Ideal for Families, Small Businesses, and Commercial Use
The new Omni is not just a family car. Its flexible seat layout, high boot space, and easy-to-maintain engine make it a perfect choice for:
- Small transport businesses
- Goods delivery (vegetables, parcels, equipment)
- Ambulance conversion
- School vans
- Family taxi services (Ola/Uber or rural cabs)
Its reputation for durability, easy servicing, and now improved mileage means it serves both personal and commercial buyers.
Expected Price and EMI Options
Despite the premium updates, Maruti is expected to price the new Omni under ₹5 lakh (ex-showroom). The CNG variant might be slightly more expensive, around ₹5.5 lakh, but will still remain cheaper than most 7-seaters in the market.
Estimated Price Breakdown:
- Petrol Base Model: ₹4.80 lakh
- Petrol Mid Variant: ₹5.20 lakh
- CNG Variant: ₹5.50 lakh
For buyers opting for EMI plans:
| Down Payment | Loan Amount | Tenure | EMI (Approx) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹50,000 | ₹4,50,000 | 60 months | ₹9,000/month |
This pricing makes it possible for a middle-class family to finally own a 7-seater car with luxury touches, without stretching the budget.
