Maruti Suzuki Ertiga [2012-2015] User Reviews

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine sucks at highways, not made for overtaking, tough ride while its fully loaded.

Ride Quality & Handling Fine rides like swift and lacks ABS.

Final Words Its an average but I would like to purchase mahindra xylo e8 which has almost its double of engine of 2500 cc and it have all those features such as 3 row a/c and rear wash and wipe, keyless entry and which are missing in ertiga vdi.

Areas of improvement There should be three row a/c engine should be improved and should also be improved seats leg room and knee room. Maruti is known for its fuel economy but for competetition in market there should be all those factors which should be kept i mind while purchasing a car but there is no such features exciting which are notin other cars but moreover it lacks such exciting features which should be there in car which costs more than 900000 rupees as it enters into luxury class and for such condition there should be foldable flight rays in ertiga and also voice command technology as compared to mahindra xylo ertiga is very less but being a fuel economy car it will manage its position in market.

GOOD LOOKS, GOOD FUEL ECONOMYNO REAR WASH AND WIPE, NO SENSORS, NO 3 ROW A/C VENTS, LOW LEG ROOM AND KNEE ROOM , POOR ENGINE

I own an Ertiga VDI now, got last week, done around 500km all in Hyderabad city traffic. Over all good experience, not that great fun to drive in the city. This weekend planning for a high way trip :)

A query to the Ertiga Diesel owners,

1) Do you hear the fuel pump noise in your car? to test this take the car to a silent place switch off the Engine and first turn on the ignition, don't start, then listen any sound coming from the under hood of your car, some hissing sound. It will go off after few seconds. The sound comes back once you start the car. It is audible in my car if I lean and listen try to listen from the underhood of the car, below the middle row driver's side. The sound is not audible if you sit in the car evenif the windows are open.

Flexible seating, car like handling, Fuel efficiencyLess pickup, engine noise in cabin when you rev up

Exterior Colour choices are not attractive. Further, no designs on exterior view, to have a sporty look. The looks are as normal as Maruti. I could not find a single customer in 20-30 age group. The vehicle is positioned as family car with medium builtup.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have seen meter showed as 11 kms as average fuel efficiency. Engine may be underpowered as Innova and Mahindra vehicles are almost have double CC.  no comments on gear box.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent as far as test drive is concerned.

Final Words May not be successful in northern India, but successful for extended families wtih conservative mindset and who compromise for comforts to fuel efficency.

Areas of improvement Luggage space is big concern, there should have provison for luggage tray on the top of the vehicle. 

These views are on the basis of test drive and looks at Showroom, may change over a period of time.

Comfortable for city driving & parking gives an impression for value for moneyDefinitely its not LUV at first sight

this car is under 5-6 lakh in this range this car is excellent and more comfortable with other cars like xylo and other cars . if ride this car is perfect for low higth driver the car is very good and we drive this car very smoothly this car best option low budget people . the look of car good not very bad the perfomance of car is very good the is best of this car.the servicing of this car is low budget that every people can afford its servicing and the manintence of car is vey low and that makes car best car. the averege of car is also excellent this car affordable for every one

Exterior Very Good, looks like Ritz. It could have been made further better like INNOVA.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome. Excellent interior. Giving Arm Rest in 1st row could have made this vehicle more valuable and made driving easy. Arm Rest in 2nd row could have been made still better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very Good. Good pick up particularly after 2000 rpm. Fuel economy is uncomparable. I have driven around 12000 KM so far on all type sof roads, inluding highways. Mileage on highway without AC in between 20 - 21 KMPL. However in City with AC it is more than 15 KMPL. 

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome. Like a Car.

Final Words Perfect MUV. Value for the money. for self driving, better than all the vehicles in this segment. Go for it without any second thought.

Areas of improvement Missing Arm Rest in 1st Row, Missing Defogger and rear wiper in VDi and VXi Model. Vehicle could have been made around 06 inches longer to increase the boot space with 3rd row sitting. Front look could have been improved, atleast like SX4 or on the pattern of INNOVA.

Fuel Economy, Driving ComfortNo Arm Rest at 1st Row, No defogger and rear wiper in VDi model

Exterior is fine but way too similar to the rits.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors fine as usual.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engines good doesn't junkfeel as said below 17.3liter on highway.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is fine but the antilock braking systems doesn't work and the tyre skids at good speeds, the brakes need improvement as well. I don't know but if it's the same dzire brakes than its way too risky to drive the car above 100 Kms.

Final Words Maruti needs to do some thing about the suspensions, I have already driven 11657 Kms on the highway in 3 months. It won't last for more than a year. The last car I drove was the etios vd it was awesome. I have done 176000kms in it. Still working but in city now.

Areas of improvement Suspensions are bad at the rear. The Car is heavy for the existing suspensions. I ypthink the inoova suspensions are much better at least it doesn't jump.

SpaciousSuspensions,

My father was bought this car in 2012 on emi on that day i was seen this car at first time . In the year 2014 at first i was driven this car it give me a really luxurious experience because it was comfortable and big car it has the capabilities to beat any other seven seater car in this price range it runs very smooth but sometimes it's uncomfortable because it's group clearance is not much better test the things are good in this price range. We had bought Ertiga in white colour . In that time the white colour is best for the Ertiga . The car looks luxurious from outside .the car had given maximum 20km/l average in average speed it never shows the Average below fifteen when we turn on the ac also and in traffic it looks massive in this range. Servicing and maintenance were also not high it takes approximately 10000 rupees in service and first three services are free of cost so on that time free services makes me very happy . But now in 2019 the Ertiga has many colour options had in year 2018 the maruti suzuki launches a whole new Ertiga that's also looks massive in different colours so i would like to tell that the Ertiga is a perfect car in middle budget and big family.

Riding experience super. And maintenance is very good and economical. One of the best car. Value for money. Nice car. Very comfortable for long drive. No tiredness while long drive it has more features in lower price comparatively other cars.

Buying experience: I bought it in July 2016 and I got it in 9.80L on road in Udaipur Rajasthan VDI shvs
Riding experience: And riding is awesome its controlling and comfort is quite good.
Details about looks, performance etc: Looks are good enough... You can not aspect looks like Innova in this price range
Servicing and maintenance: Service and maintaining cost around 3000 -3500/ on every service
Pros and Cons: Everything is good but I think engine should be 1.6L or 1.8L diesel engine.. and tyre should be R16
