Maruti Suzuki Etriga is a value-for-money car as it is considerably cheaper than its rivals and its not like the brand has skimped on the equipment. It features a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, rear AC, ABS with EBS, dual air-bags and a few more. The Ertiga has got comfortable seats in the first, second as well as the third-rows. In most other MPVs, the third-row seating is really low, but in Ertiga it is not the case. You get 550-litres of luggage space with the third-row folded. Maruti Ertiga also has a lighter chassis. The new Ertiga is based on the HEARTECT platform, which is also present in Swift. So, despite being much larger than the older car, it is 20 kilos lighter. This improves the performance of the car as well as its fuel-efficiency. The Ertiga is an easy-to-drive MPV, good for highways. Even though it’s a seven-seater, it feels almost as easy to drive as the Swift. The compact dimensions and great visibility also makes the car easy to drive and park. The car runs on a petrol powertrain which has a good low-end torque, which also makes it easy to drive in the city and amazingly on the highways. Then, there's the automatic gearbox option, which has just four-speeds. There's also a diesel option, which is a little noisy and makes it difficult to drive in the city. A drawback of the car is that even if its bigger than the previous model, it is still a small MPV and if a tall person is sitting in the second row, there will not be enough legroom for him/her. The interior quality is also not up to the mark, which is another negative point of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. Even though there are a few drawbacks of the car, it meets the expectations of most MPV buyers at a great price.
