Maruti Ertiga : For Indian families seeking the perfect blend of space, comfort and fuel efficiency, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga emerges as an unbeatable choice in the 7-seater segment. Priced from just ₹5.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this versatile MPV outperforms many SUVs in practicality while delivering astonishing fuel economy figures that make it ideal for both daily commutes and long family trips.
Spacious Cabin Designed for Comfort
Due its clever packaging, the Ertiga has been very roomy on the inside even though it is based on a compact-sized platform. Genuine adult-sized comfort is offered in all three rows of seating thanks to thoughtful touches such as rear AC vents, adjustable headrests and plenty of space. Maruti’s smart seat folding system converts the cabin from a people-mover to a cargo-hauler in no time flat, giving 550 litres of boot space with third row down – more than some of the premium SUVs around.
Fuel-Efficient Powertrain Options
Powering it is the same 1.5L K15C DualJet petrol engine with mild hybrid technology which makes 103 bhp and 136.8 Nm torque. The magic happens to be on the efficiency part – 20.51 kmpl for this petrol manual and a staggering 26.11 km/kg for CNG, with real-world claims upwards of 35 km/kg in optimal conditions. The 6-speed automatic transmission, available in the city is a welcome relief for buyers of clutch fatigue with not too substantial a mileage penalty.
Maruti Ertiga – A Features Rich MPV at Budget Price
Even the base variant is decently well-equipped with power steering, front power windows, and dual airbags. Similarly, the higher trims get more premium features like a 7-inch Smartplay Pro touchscreen supporting Android Auto/Apple CarPlay which should sell very well. Automatic climate control and cruise control add further convenience to the cabin. With host of features in the top ZXi+ variant — six airbags, electronic stability control and alloy wheels — makes it stand out in its class.
Unmatched Value Proposition
The only difference the Ertiga has to others is cost of ownership. Running costs of the CNG variant is almost 60% lower than equivalent diesel SUVs and Maruti’s widespread service network keeps maintenance reasonably cheap. And with EMI options which open under ₹10,000/month, it puts 7-seater mobility in reach of India’s teeming middle-class families that would otherwise be relegated to cramped up hatchbacks.
Looking to buy your next 7-seater SUV? My advice: consider the Maruti Ertiga!
As much as compact SUVs hog headlines, the Ertiga is proof that there’s justified reason for many Indian families to go with an MPV. It delivers the third-row efficiency many (though not most) 7-seater SUVs lack, with superior fuel economy and tighter handling in city traffic, while starting at prices far below those charged for similar SUVs. Sharper styling on this facelift also helps to counter traditional MPV image issues
The Maruti Ertiga is still the most apt people mover for those who shun pretense and focus on practicality, especially if yours is a growing family.【解士劲 】 The overall package that offers plenty of room, decent performance and fuel efficiency in addition to Maruti’s renowned reliability is the reason it outsells costlier alternatives consistently.
