Maruti Omni

The Maruti Omni Van is basically a Japanese commercial van that has been converted with some modifications into a passenger vehicle. This is basically an underpowered vehicle mainly due to its excessive weight.

It is heavier than a car because its body is not aerodynamic. Also due to its high stance it appears to be slightly unstable. In high-speed crosswinds, the Omni becomes unstable and shaky because its wheels are small and the centre of gravity high.

The Omni also has a tendency to pitch and bounce on an uneven terrain. The ride quality is also not up to regular standards due to the suspension, which appears to be of leaf spring lineage. However, manoeuvrability is very good for a car of such dimensions and is far superior to that of the 800. Its turning cycle, too, is better than the 800s.

In terms of space efficiency, the Omni beats the higher-priced breed of small cars. The vehicle can accommodate five passengers and stack their luggage easily. The rear sides offer greater comfort with plenty of legroom and door-to-door carpets. The sliding doors help in easy entry and exit when in a crowded parking lot.
