Modified Maruti Omni with scissor doors and clunky body kit looks radical

The Maruti Suzuki Omni is one such car that has touched people’s lives for several generations. It had many identities – one of a boring workhorse, or the ideal family car, or even the infamous kidning car in the ’90s Bollywood films – and was a sale in the Indian market for nearly 35 years. Even towards the end of its life cycle, the Maruti Suzuki Omni found enough buyers in the commercial sectors where it was known for its performance.

This modified Maruti Suzuki Omni looks great with scissor doors and a chunky body kit.

While one can be difficult to come across Maruti Suzuki Omni on the streets today, here we have a stunning example of a modified Maruti Omni that is sure to grab your attention. More importantly, this Omni is everything you wouldn’t expect – complete with scissor doors, a chunky body kit, and gold wheels with deep bowls. This particular example is one of the later iterations of the Omni and looks beautiful in its blue body color with black, contrasting accents all over it.

This omni’s coolest party trick has to be these Lamborghini-inspired scissor doors. The body kit comes with a chunky front bumper with large air dams, side skirts and, as expected, an updated rear bumper that gives it a crouching look. Elsewhere, this Omni is outfitted with a darkened roof rack, a windshield hood with LED lights, and tinted glass for all windows. The larger and thicker deep crockery wheels in gold complete the look.

The Maruti Omni was sold in India for 35 years before it was discontinued because it did not meet the new safety standards.

The Maruti Suzuki Omni in this modified avatar looks even more like a “hijacking car” than ever before. It was withdrawn from the market in mid-2019 because it was unable to upgrade to the then new safety standards. Starting July 1, 2019, the updated passenger car safety standards mandate the provision of a driver’s side airbag, speed alarm, front seat belt reminder, and rear parking sensors as standard equipment on all vehicles, most of which could not be fitted on the Omni .

Although the Omni is a simple van, it has touched people’s lives for generations.

The Maruti Suzuki Omni was actually based on the seventh generation Suzuki Super Carry. When it was on sale, it was available in 5- or 8-seater variants. Driven by an 800cc engine, the Omni had meager power and torque values ​​of 34 hp and 59 Nm respectively. It was still one of the most popular vehicles of its time. Maruti sold more than 15 million units of the Omni in the 35 years it was sold in the Indian market.
