I would sincerely suggest that you go for a van only if you need to carry more luggage than passengers. Even if your need is for carrying more passengers than I would sincerely recommend a Sumo or an Armada. Of course, it will be a little bit costlier on your pocket and you will have to stretch your budget. But it will be worth it from the safety point. The Maruti Van has an absolutely flimsy front, and in the event of an head-on collision, there is just no safety for the occupants of the front seats. The first casualty will be their legs, that is if they manage to survive the collision in the first place!
So please think hard and seriously before buying a Maruti Van. Of course, you will have to spend extra, but then remember, you only live once! Only a cat is supposed to have nine lives.
Enjoy and practice safe driving.
Cheers.
