The Maruti Suzuki Versa, introduced in 2001, was a multi-utility vehicle designed to cater to large families and commercial operators. Powered by a 1.3-liter petrol engine, it offered seating configurations accommodating up to eight passengers. Its tall-boy design ensured ample headroom, while sliding doors facilitated easy ingress and egress. The Versa's versatility made it suitable for various applications, from family outings to school vans. However, its boxy aesthetics and competition from more modern MPVs limited its appeal. The Versa was eventually succeeded by the more refined Maruti Suzuki Eeco, which continued to serve the needs of budget-conscious buyers seeking spacious transportation.
