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

The 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.

Loving 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.

Real-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.

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