The reason the Maruti Eeco 6-seater Standard variant is not offered with factory-fitted AC is largely a cost and positioning decision by Maruti. It is worth noting that this restriction is specific to the 6-seater Standard variant. The 5-seater versions of the Eeco are available with factory-fitted AC, so Maruti is not avoiding AC altogether on the model.As for adding AC later, yes, it is technically possible to fit an aftermarket AC, and many owners have done so. However, we would generally not recommend it. Factory-fitted AC systems are integrated with the engine calibration, wiring, dashboard layout and cooling system. An aftermarket setup may not cool as effectively, can affect reliability and could create issues with electrical components over the long term if not installed properly.If AC is important to you, the better solution is to buy an Eeco variant that comes with factory fitted AC from the outset or go for alternatives like the Renault Triber or the Nissan Gravite.

The Renault Lodgy is clearly the bigger of the two and would offer you more space and comfort, however bear in mind that maintaining a used Renault Lodgy is going to be more difficult than the Maruti Suzuki Eeco as parts availability is an issue even with official Renault dealers, further given that the Lodgy never sold in large number finding parts in the aftermarket will be difficult too.Thus, it is best to avoid it unless you are very certain of the condition of the car and the availability of parts and service in your area.
