Practical Package
The absolute best value 7-seater in India. Third row headroom and legroom are genuinely usable by adults.
Frugal Running
The factory-fitted CNG version keeps running costs unbelievably low, making it the default fleet pick.
Highway Pace
With 7 people and luggage, overtaking at speeds above 90 km/h requires planning and downshifting.

▲ 286The ventilated seats are an absolute lifesaver in Indian summers. Infotainment screen is crisp, wireless Apple CarPlay works flawlessly without any lags.

▲ 1The headlights throw is very poor. The white LED high beam looks fancy but has zero penetration in rainy or foggy conditions, making night highway driving quite scary.

▲ 34Loving my Maruti Ertiga petrol. The engine is exceptionally refined and quiet at idle, sometimes I have to check the tachometer to see if it is running. The ride is soft and comfortable.

▲ 113Real-world city mileage is atrocious. The petrol automatic is giving me barely 8–9 km/l in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. Highway is better at 14 km/l, but still disappointing.

▲ 213Performance drops significantly once you switch to CNG. Climbing steep mall ramps or overtaking on highways requires planning and downshifting. The engine feels completely breathless.

Wheelbase (2,740 mm)
On the Ertiga, the wheelbase is about average wheelbase for its segment. Rear space is typical for cars in this segment. A longer wheelbase also reduces pitch over potholes and speed breakers.

Jargon-Free Safety & Tech
What all those complex brochure codes actually mean in plain, practical terms.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) & VSM
Emergency Anti-Skid. If the vehicle senses a loss of traction (like on wet mud or when swerving to avoid an obstacle), it automatically applies brakes to individual wheels to keep you on your steered path. Essential for safety.
HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)
Roll-back Prevention. When starting the vehicle on a steep slope (like a flyover or basement mall ramp), it holds the brakes for 2 seconds after you release the pedal, giving you time to move your foot to the accelerator.
6 SRS Airbags (Standard)
Full-Cabin Cushioning. Protects all occupants in case of an impact. Includes two front airbags, two seat-mounted side airbags, and two curtain airbags that shield front and rear passengers' heads from side window impacts.
All-Wheel Disc Brakes
Consistent Stopping Power. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes dissipate heat quickly, preventing brake fade. They stop the vehicle shorter, more predictably, and with far less foot pressure.
Star Map LED DRLs & Headlamps
Advanced Night Vision. LEDs throw a much whiter, wider, and brighter beam than yellow halogens, reducing eye fatigue during night highway runs. Star Map running lights make you highly visible to oncoming traffic.
