Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Review

The new Ertiga wears a relatively premium look. Of more interest to typical buyers, however, is the cabin which scores really well on space with fair seating even for the third row of passengers. Sliding middle-row seats and folding third-row seats also add flexibility to the cabin. The Ertiga’s city-friendly dimensions and light controls make it easy to drive; and the MPV also feels planted at high speeds.The 105hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine is not punchy but gets the job done well enough. The 5-speed manual gearbox is fine and the new 6-speed torque converter automatic, a big improvement on the old 4-speed unit, adds more convenience to the mix. All versions get mild-hybrid tech that aids fuel economy, but if you want maximum range for your buck, it's got to be the CNG version, which makes a small sacrifice to luggage room to fit the tank.
