What owners and experts like about the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
Rear seat space
Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews
“plenty of thigh support here due to this extremely long seat, lots of legroom, loads of it actually — but this is adjustable so you can move the seat forward so that people in the third row can get space”
Seat comfort
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“maine bina thake gaadi... 24 ghante tak gaadi chalayi hai maine bina thake bina ruke (I've driven this car continuously for up to 24 hours without fatigue or stopping)”
Boot space
Strongly positivebased on 8 reviews
“even with the third row up you have a reasonable amount of space, you can fit three trolley bags even here quite comfortably, and there's this cool storage area underneath the boot... it has the split lid so it's convenient to access”
Handling
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“SUV mein overtaking ke baad body roll aata hai, hum isme kitna aata hai? bilkul bhi feel hi nahi hua (no noticeable body roll felt at all after overtaking, unlike the body roll typically expected of an SUV)”
Ride comfort
Generally positivebased on 9 reviews
“isse stiff bhi nahi keh sakte, kyunki agar aap center wali seat pe baithe hain toh aapko brakers ka itna pata nahi lagta (can't call it stiff — if you sit in the center row, you barely feel the bumps)”
Air conditioning
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“ab ye sabke liye ho gaya, jo jahan baitha hai wahin AC hai (now every row gets proper AC — no more suffocation for rear passengers like on a past 34,000 km trip)”
Where the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Third row usability
Generally negativebased on 12 reviews
“The third row is a bit difficult getting into compared to the other two cars because this seat doesn't really flip, it just slides forward and the seat back goes forward, so it's more constricted than the other two for access.”
Fit & finish
Generally negativebased on 9 reviews
“bas ek cheez hai, is ki body ki jo banavat hai na, hulki hai (there's just one thing — the body build feels a bit light/flimsy)”
Engine refinement
Mixed reviewsbased on 10 reviews
“This engine makes 90 HP and 200 NM which is not much for an MPV... it still gets going only after about 2,000 rpm, and when you push it, it does get vocal.”
