Maruti Ertiga a Famil Car

Exterior

 Looks appealing, a very compact hatchback design from front and back.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Fully loaded with features, Split A/c duct is good, gives a pleasent feeling, control on the steering and road with good visibility.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Meter showed Avg of 10km/lt in ZDI test drive vehicle, Some chattering/vibration on the clutch, gear shift hard.....all of these may be due to test vehicle? Establish the BHP/Wt ratio, Catalogue does not mention Kerb weight...keeping the finger crossed on committed 20.77 milage?

Ride Quality & Handling

Good, fully in control and handling on road.

 

Final Words

Overall a good car, a family car, It thinking of moving small Hatchback to Sedan, consider alternative - new category before taking up bigger SUV. A value for money.

Areas of improvement  

Additional 100-150mm would have added lot of space between the seats. The space between driver and non driver looks congested for medium build two adults, 3rd seat should have been split to add flexibility to boot space.

New segment for budget customers, a family car with overall balanced features2nd- 3rd row space, seat should not have been a bench, vibration on the clutch
