Even after two decades of its launch, the Omni still sells in the Indian market without much facelift or change in mechanical aspects. It is the cost and the space, which has been selling this van. The cost per kilometre, including spares, maintenance and the cost of the car, is what has retained the car in the market.
The Omni uses Maruti 800’s four-stroke, 796cc engine, which transfers power to the rear wheels through 4-speed manual transmission. Initially, it was accepted as an economic passenger van; later it was launched again in cargo version. Both the variants run on 12-inch wheels, which are suitable mainly for city drive.
