Maruti Suzuki Ertiga [2015-2018] User Reviews

I would only say to all if you are going to buy a car please go for Maruti Ertica only as this car has all the options with fuel efficiency. This is the best options for all of us.

Exterior

 Looks stylish and painting is also soo good 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

All the available features are very good for this vehicle(model VDI SVHS Diesel) espically the adjustable OVRM with indicators, reverse sensor, etc.... 2nd row seat is movable so that we get good/right space for 2nd row(3 persons) and 3rd row (2 person). 3rd row seat is splittable, so easily can travel 6(2+3+1) persons with enough luggage.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I feel the engine performance is very good when compared with other competitive diesel vehicle. Pickup seems little low for first 90kmph, after that will get very good power. Good control even in 120-140kmph. Brake(ABS) is excellent. There is no much difference in engine power while driving with 7 persons in highways and also in hill stations. Very good mileage(around 20kmpl) if we drive less than 2500RPM. If we drive more than 120Kmph(or more than 3500RPM) the mileage should be around 14Kmph, not less than that.

AC was not good in high speed. In high speed(more than 100kmph), the AC is not enough for all persons.

Clutch and Gear box are very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

Feels very easy, comfortable for driving and handling. Not feel like driving a heavy vehicle. Not to worry about parking space, can easily park in any small parking slot.

Any person can continuously drive for 12hrs, that much smooth clutch and no vibration in gearbox, pedal area etc.... All the pedals(Brake, clutch & acc.) are very good and soft for pushing.

Final Words

 Good Value for money. No other vehile can beat this, with this price, performance, maintainance(minimum service cost) and features available in it.

Areas of improvement  

 Needs to concentrate on 2nd row hand rest, all the headrest and different interior colour.

 

Good Mileage, 2nd row seat Movable, 3rd row seat SplitHead rest feels not comfortable for bigger person & 2nd row hand rest,

Overall good, when compare to other 5 seaters. Middle row is very much adjustable for our comfort. Suspension is good. Riding stability is good. I'm happy with my car. Aircon is powerful. I did nt find any cons.

NANA

Very poor performance, doesn't satisfied me at all. I request no body should buy this, at least at the price which company offers, if it could give it in half price, than any one can may think for buying, not immediately buy it. Again I will say very very poor performance, clutch is too clumsy, gears are not good, pick up is not good.

I used my Ertiga for so many times for long journey. At least I completed for 3000KM in return to my home town Bhubaneswar. Last time in May 2017 I had been to Kathmandu, Pokhra, Chitwan National Forest of Neapl (self driven) that is about 3800KM. But I never faced any problem on my way. So Ertiga deserves to get 100 marks out of 100. Regarding mileage and maintenance it is incredible.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seat is not comfortable may cause back pain. Middle seat is not suitable for oldage person.

Final Words While you take test drive ask for same model which you planned to purhcase, go on little damanged poor road and check on turning (90 Degreess with 20km speed) if youu feel comfortable then only purchase else I am sure you will regret later on.

Sales manager claimed that VDI model comes with all above issues which I mentioned above. So they can not help to solve.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Super smooth engine, drives smoothly on highways and ghat roads, 25kmpl on expressway and around 15kmpl in city....smooth gear shift and nice front vision.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth quality, especially due to new Michelin tyres.

Final Words A great family car. Fill it. Shut it. Forget it. It takes care of itself.

Areas of improvement Good Year tyre quality isn't that great. Better to change the tyres at the time of purchase itself.

Car tyre purchase is indeed highly confusing. I own Ertiga SHVS Vdi 2016 model. After a run of 43,300km, one of the company fitted Good Year tyre finally bursted today afternoon. Thankfully the car speed was just 20km/hr and no damage was incurred.

I immediately did a Google search for reviews and had a final choice to be made between Michelin, MRF and Bridgestone. After a deeper search, I opted for Michelin. A quick call to the authorized Michelin tyre store, responded promptly by the owner, reached the store within an hour, got all tyres checked and they had worned out completely. I was educated by the shop owner on how to detect the life span of a tyre. It seems the tyre change was due around 5000km earlier!

The Michelin guy gave a zero interest emi option on the credit card payment and it was easy on my pocket. Another offer on purchase of four tyres was all that I needed to decide to change all the tyres.

Trust me, highly efficient service, quick wheel balancing and alignment took just 30 minutes and I was driving off on the brand new Michelin tyres. I was told by the Michelin guy to enjoy the difference in driving pleasure….and I was curious to get the car with new tyres on road as soon as possible.

So, what was the first difference after fitting Michelin tyres?

As soon as I sat on the driver's seat, the car seemed elevated than before.

The car seemed to be running smoothly with as good as none tyre friction noise.

The new tyres seemed to absorb the turbulences of all the rough potholes and provided additional support to the car's shock absorbers.

The 10km ride seemed to be super good with easy maneuvering and better car control.

All in all, guess a wise decision to go for Michelin. The journey has just begun and way to go for a further pleasurable driving experience. I have been advised to check the tyre quality after 50,000 km. So am relaxed until then.

Cheers Michelin.
