Maruti Suzuki Ertiga [2012-2015] User Reviews

Exterior

 Maruti Suzuki has done a pretty good job considering the exterior design. Its not as plain and bland like the Innova and it is handsome looking MPV...even though it has generic Suzuki traditional design. 8/10 for design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Best for the price. Flexible seats with sliding/reclining feature makes full good use of the relatively compact cabin. It can accomodate 7 people with good comfort and space...the sliding and split middle row and the effective central AC helps this to a vast extent. Everything in the cabin is easy to use and ergonomics are very good and stylish with decent quality. 9/10 for cabin.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The 1.3 DDis engine is best and great on highways. The turbo helps it cruise all day long at three digit speeds. What the problem is that below 1900rpm, there is turbo lag and lack of power for signal to signal speedings in the city. The gearbox has to be worked by downshifting a gear then usual for keeping on the Turbo. The smooth gearbox and precise ratios makes the city drive acceptable. The tall 5th gear helps to achieve great efficiency. Giving 21.5kmpl at constant 100kmph speed on highways is never easy even for a midsize sedan. By maintaining constant steady speeds, the car rewards you with great mileage. This is a champion on the highways. 8/10 for engine and gearbox, 10/10 for mileage.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very good ride and comfortable on rough roads. THe high ground clearance, 185mm is more than the Innova and can tackle almost every rough road. Stability is solid on the highways and the handling is best among MPVs, given that this is based on the Swift platform. So it is easy to drive in city and also on the highways...its quite entertaining too!! 9/10 for ride and handling.

Final Words

 Best car in the price range, great value and experience. Beats even the Innova and every mid size Sedan in all the factors.

 Beware when you choose your dealer. I got a new ertiga lastweek from AIE Cars. they handed over a defective product. all banners and adds says great discount. but actually all eyewash.

Had a very bad experience with the dealer and the prodcut.

Areas of improvement  

 should be more value for Money. have some space inside and should also have some bootspace to carry any luggage.

Exterior Scope to improve the external style of fron end body. Aerodynamic shape still to be shaped for windage abstructions.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Internal boot space & width is not much comfortable for last seaters, need for width increse.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is absolutely under rating as we found sever times while over taking and up hill driving with 6 adult persons. There must be increase of engine capacity(CC) between 1400 -1500. Fuel economy was very good up to 18kmpl. Gear box transmission was very good with smooth changeover of gears.

Ride Quality & Handling Pleasnt and confartable driving for long roads distances.

Final Words Best vehicle at high price.

Areas of improvement Engine capacity increasing as it is designed for 7 persons. Internal space of middle and last row seaters. Extrenal shaping for attraction and aerodynamic nature.

Good fuel economy at a high cost of vehicle. Engine turbo is under performance at 7 persons in boardEngine capacity is under rating.Interiors required to be improved. Last seats space is inadequate.

Exterior Awesome design and goo dheadlamps too.. bit tail lamps are too SMALL for this BIG vehicle. This would have been made proportional to the size of the vehicle. even Ritz has good combination lamp.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Easy access to rear seats. spacious enough for a family of 7-8. luggages can be placed only under  the seats.(?!)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Engine as that of swift. FE is excellent. Gear shifting is smooth with Maruti's own technology as in other vehicles.

Ride Quality & Handling Can handle this BIG BOY as Maruti 800, small but strong steering - powerful it is. Smooth driving makes this a good companion for city drive too.

Final Words Good competitor for Toyota Innova and a good Family Car. But the cost for the full option in Diesel segment is a bit higher, it seems.

Areas of improvement Air conditioning quality can be made far better. If seven people are inside, I don't think the present cool is enough for them to 'feel' it.

Spacious enough, can handle as a small car of MarutiPoor AC, The cost

Exterior
Awsome exterior,
looks are very stylish,
very well shaped body structure,
had body coloured bumpers, side mirrors,
front look is awsome, 
Rear wiper
Rear defogger 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
look of the interior is very nice.
full interir is of beige color
door handles are chrome polished, looks very good
color combination is very good
has very good amount of space for all 3 rows.
i am 5'9" guy and i can easily sit on the last row for about 200 kms. no problem in space
the seats are very comfortable
i had gone for a return journey from agra to delhi on same day 2 times and when i came back i had no any tiredness.. so the seats are very comfortable
cabin is very airy
there are hand rests and bottle holder for every seat so it is very comfortable.
adjustable head rests are also on all 3 rows.
medium row can be tilted either 60:40 or full and both 2nd and 3rd row are fully foldable.
there is a very large amount of boot space after folding 3rd row full
driver seat is all 4 directions adjustable.
dashboard looks awsome
it has 4 speakers on each door and 2 tweeters and sound quality is awsome, better than the sony or kenwood.
the cabin is very well sound proofed as u will only hear very less amount of sound even in highly traffic area.
A.C. is very much powerful. But its manual.
there are ducts for the middle and the last row with the regulator so can easily adjust the air speed.
in agra it is approx 48-50 degree celsius of temperature during summer and at that time the A.C. at fan speed of just 2 is more than enough to cool the cabin
 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

i don't have very much tech knowledge, but i am driving for around 7 yrs and had drive many cars till now. and on the basis of that experience i am telling you that this car is excellent performance wise
u can easily pick up the car even on 3rd gear
fuel economy is very good, on highway it is between 15-16 kmpl without A.C. (petrol) and 14-15 with A.C. In City it is around 13 with A.C.
there is no noise of engine
pik up is very high
gerabox looks nice and is very smooth, shifting of gear is very smooth
on 5th gear there is no any noise and it is running very smooth
the engine gives you very good amount of power during driving due to which u will feel very much confident 

 

Ride Quality & Handling

it can eaily achieve speed of 100-120 within no time
i have reached speed of 140 till now in that and there is no any vibration in the car
the handling is superb even on 140 km/hr speed
feeling always confident while driving
the steering is super smooth so ur hands didn't get tired due to driving it for more time
as it has 15 inch tires so ride quality is very good
even on bumpy roads u feel very stable
had been on expressway with that one, feels like driving on butter 
doors automatically closed after it reaches speed of 20 km/hr
has door ajar warning and bonut open warning system and anti theft features.
 

Final Words

Just go for this as u get an MUV (or LUV) at the price of an hatchback, as innova is around 3-4 laks more costlier than that one.
as it is an MUV but it feels like riding a car so no problem in driving if u transfers from hatchback to that one.
it is a family vehicle with sportiness in it.
it is really a LUV. 

Areas of improvement  

Should have been Automatic A.C. instead of manual. 

 

 

Exterior, Comfort, Excellent ride quality, awesome handling, good amount of space inside etc.Should have been Automatic A.C. instead of manual.

Exterior So so not very extraordinary some extra chrome finish or something like that we can expect in uplift. good looking in white colour. Lenght good width good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) What I don't like is roof height it is  6'5 feet and some time a person like me 6'2 may feel some jerk kind of thimg in rough roads. Overall it is havng good leg room no complain. Overall excellent. One thing maruti must look. Automatic climate control and power mirror.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Despite having 1248 cc engine it is just working as phenominal I just love the mileage 17 in city and 19 at highways and without having the first servicing. Mileage is excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling Enjoyed riding it at 140 + and at that time also handling was as efficient as I am driving like 70+ No jerk and dicomfort at all.

Final Words I am planning to ride it for approx 1200 km in 3 days (september)that will give me final judgement anout ride quality.

Areas of improvement Automatic climate control //Power mirror//charfing point for last row//goood speakers with woofer//

fuel efficiency , 140 kmph speed at times but still no jerk and discomfort, nice interiorroof height around 6.5 feet ,speakers must be with woofer,less cargo space

Exterior The exterior look is not so attarctive if compared with other SUVs. The headlight illumination is just sufficient.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interior is good & give rich feeling, Space for passangers is enough for 7 Adults, may be 5 adults with 3 Kids also comfortable. Only issue is either passanger or luggage choice has to be made. The best part is you can adjuest middle row n last row to suit the combination of passangers n luggage.The doors have enough pockets to hold bottlos / food packets / Files n papers etc etc.The AC is powerful enough with middle row blowers. The ongoing avarage reading & range values are not true enough.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine noise n vibrations are within limits, Fuel Economy is 18~19.7 ( Highway driving ), Gearbox is smooth in normal operations ( Some times Reverse is an issue )

Ride Quality & Handling Overall riding experience is pleasant for passangers n driver, a little lag is expericed sometimes but it is acceptable with 1.3L.

Final Words A good car for switchover from hatchback.

Areas of improvement Headlight illumination - Addition of Rear view camera & parking sensor with Audio alarm - Step in / out Side foot step.

Fuel economy, Best ground clerance, Large Space , Changable interior , Drive comfort,Overall outside look, Boot space or Passenger ?

Exterior Good looking except from back side, great looks from sides

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious for 1st and 2nd row if chindrens sitting in 3rd row other wise fold 3rd row use as legauge space ideal for long journeys for more features go for z variants v not VFM.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine good, bit slugish at lower speeds with ac, mileage city-15 to 16 high ways 80to 100 speed 19 to 20. High ways 100 to 140speed 16kmpl.

Gear box very good short throw you can rest hands over it no vibration evn at high speeds.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality not good on rough roads need to imprve on suspension High ways it is great we can control easily even at 140 km speed, breaks are excellent with abs.

Final Words Overall good package instead going vdi or vxi go for zdi or zxi value for money.

Areas of improvement To be worked on cabin noise and suspension.

looks outside not from back side,interiors ,engine,in city 15kmpl,on highways 80 to 100 speed 20kmplfloor colour,riding comfort while driving on rough roads,rear wiper should be standard for all model

Exterior

 Amazing style and looks for me. Not too great but it is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 This is the best part plastic parts, music system, leg room all is good. Though the beige is a bit too much, some contrasts could have been better. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Ok for city but not too swift on pickup and power. Mileage is good I have driven it above 1000 kms in about 3500 rs diesel. Gear box is fine as it will improve with driving.

Ride Quality & Handling

Comfortable handling, better on turns and less of body roll. Power steering on diesel is a bit hard but I like it. I drove it for a stretch of 400 kms at once and it was comfortable. 

Final Words

Good package in a 10 lakh top model. Size and marutis service is good. 

Areas of improvement  

 Sluggish engine, Zdi model should be fully loaded with parking sensors, navigation and other stuff.
