    Exterior This car has the divine looks, from any angle u may see. Good heavy steel body that can be felt everytime while opening n closing of doors and even when lifting up the Bonnet. Aerodynamic structure has given wings to the car. Good ground clearance make it a car for both road n off-road conditions.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors have been very well designed and there is ample space for one n all. The integrated music system with four in-door speakers has quite good output with CD, MP3, USB, AUX, Radio options. Inbuild power outlet for Misc. usage is also included, so all in all no electric part or work has to b done from outside vendor. Rear Arm Rest gives a luxury feel to it. Like 1st row, 2nd row is also front-back adjustable with 60:40 split that adds points to the comfort zone. Rear A/c vents make the car cool till the third row in just 5 min.too gud. Fitting of CNG cylinder has also been remarkable with not even an extra inch feels waistful. I included the Feliz accessories kit from Maruti, which made the interiors even more graceful. Seats are comfortable even on long dirves one won't feel even a bit of tiredness. 3rd row does have less leg space for long trips, but thats why its been named baby seat otherwise a family of 5 can use the foldable third row as a spacious rack for long trips. Noiseless indoor even in city traffic adds up to point tally. Speedometer has also been modified for CNG Version. There are sepetate petrol and CNG indicators alike the traditional light indicator for CNG which is quite good. All in all there are nothing so fancy features that one might not use on daily driving.  

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1400 CC engine gives a powerful feel on highways. Engine is Noiseless and one won't feel or recogonize the difference between the car running on petrol or on factory fitted CNG. I am getting an average of 17.5 approx. (on CNG) with AC in city n even more on highway drive and 11.5 approx. on Petrol. I got the 1st service done at 1120 km, but all know that it hardly makes any difference with just the regular checkup n washing of the car. I once drove it with a speed of 150+ on highway (YEW) with no vibration at all and 1400 CC engine responded well enough. Braking, I would say, could have been some how better rather ABS should have been included to CNG version also, it does count as did in my case that once while driving down a flyover with a suden braker ahead.

    Ride Quality & Handling Riding it feels, driving a gentle lady in city traffic and a beast on highways. Handling is also remarkable, but if installed with front n back steel guards one must maintain the difference between the cars and as mentioned earlier also, it possess good ground clearance that make it both road n off-road car.

    Final Words Finally, if one is looking for a spacious, powerful, some how luxurious and stylish car then definitly Ertiga VXI CNG is a good option (if CNG is available in your city).

    Areas of improvement Allz good except that ABS should have been included to CNG version.

    Great Pickup & Performance, Good Interiors, Noiseless driveBraking on high speed...No ABS in CNG version
