Middle-row slides a tremendous 240mm. The Ertiga uses the Swift parts bin so expect it to be priced competitively, around the Rs 7-9 lakh price bracket. The Ertiga has a familiar face due to the typically Suzuki slot-like grille, peeled back headlamps à la the Swift and the A-pillar and swollen bonnet similar to the Ritz. Maruti will debut the 1.4-litre K-series petrol engine in the Ertiga that develops 94bhp. The Ertiga is based on the Swift's platform - a full 415mm longer though stretching the tape to 4265mm. Rear styling is bland but inoffensive. Dashboard quality is as good as the newly-launched Dzire. Seats are at a perfect-height so you don't have to climb-in. Roof-mounted blower helps keep rear passengers comfy. The Ertiga gets a full-sized spare located underneath for better interior packaging. Flat loading area with third row folded. With people-movers getting more and more popular with families, Maruti cracks open a new niche with its Swift-based Ertiga. We take a closer look.
