Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Pros - Why Should You Buy

Fuel-Efficient Mild-Hybrid Powertrain

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga comes with a 1.5-litre hybrid petrol engine. Equipped with a mild-hybrid setup, it delivers great fuel efficiency. Even with the 4-speed torque converter automatic, which is not the most efficient, it returns respectable figures with the mild hybrid. For commuters, Maruti Suzuki also offer the CNG-equipped Ertiga. The Ertiga has an ARAI-claimed fuel economy of 19.01kmpl for petrol MT, 17.99kmpl for petrol AT and 26.08kmpkg for CNG. 

Reasonably-Loaded CNG Variants

The VXI CNG variant of the Ertiga comes with all the necessary features. It offers a 2-din infotainment system with four speakers, projector headlamps, steering mounted controls, LED taillights, rear armrest, day/night IRVM, split-folding second and third-row seats, electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs and more. In terms of safety, it offers ABS with EBD, dual airbags, speed sensing alarm, remote locking, reverse parking sensors and more.

Standard 15-inch Wheels and 180mm Ground Clearance

The Ertiga comes with 15-inch wheels as standard across all variants. The top two variants offer alloy wheels and the VXI trim gets wheel covers. In addition to that, the Ertiga also gets 180mm of ground clearance that helps it to tackle tough conditions.

Great Survivability Score

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga scored 3 stars in the GNCAP crash test. While the outright number may not impress you, the survivability score is in line with that of the XUV300 and Nexon. The survivability score depends on how well the car protects the head, neck and chest of both the driver and co-passenger. In these regards, the Ertiga offers better protection to driver’s and co-passenger’s head, neck and chest than cars with higher NCAP ratings. 

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Disadvantages

Those were some of the advantages of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. However, the Ertiga does have its shortcomings which could be a deal-breaker for some. Some drawbacks of the Ertiga are old-school 4-speed torque converter gearbox, non-removable third-row seating and more.
