The Maruti Omni is a microvan manufactured by Indian automaker Maruti Udyog Limited. The first version of Maruti Omni had the same 796 cc engine as the Maruti 800 city car. This was the second vehicle to be launched by Maruti, one year after the 800, in 1984.
The Omni could be divided into two categories: the family version and the cargo version. The newer family version has two extra seats directly behind the front seating and facing away towards the rear of the van making it an eight seater. (Older versions was modified by individual owners to add additional capacity this way). The cargo version is completely devoid of back seats. Both versions have sliding back doors and hatchbacks. The Omni is also unique in a way that it uses a front mid engine rear wheel drive layout, as it helps in maximizing cabin and cargo space and providing maximum traction.
