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.
