Is the Maruti Ertiga the new budget king of MPVs? We compare it to the Innova, uncovering the best features, efficiency in fuel consumption, and a price that makes it very affordable.
Introduction
The Maruti Ertiga has been creating a lot of buzz in the Indian automobile market, much to the chagrin of behemoths like the Toyota Innova. With its affordable price, excellent interior space, and myriad features, the Ertiga seems to be quite a compelling proposition for families and businesses alike. Let us dig a little deeper to find out what makes this MPV stand out.
Engine and Performance
With a robust 1.5-liter petrol engine under the bonnet, the Ertiga serves up a good balance of the need for speed and fuel efficiency. Not as rawly powerful as some of its competitors, it is, nonetheless, more than adequate to the tasks of everyday driving and longer distance motoring. The gear-shift changes are silky smooth, and the handling responsive enough to zip through congested city roads with ease.
Interior and Comfort
The Ertiga’s interior is designed with practicality in mind. The cabin is spacious, offering ample legroom and headroom for all passengers. The seating is comfortable, and the third-row seats, while best suited for shorter journeys, offer surprising levels of comfort. The dashboard layout is simple and intuitive, and the quality of materials used is commendable for a vehicle in this price range.
Features and Safety
Maruti has crammed the Ertiga with a lot of features, including a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, and multiple airbags. The safety suite is complete, with ABS, EBD, and electronic stability control. Perhaps one thing that stands apart is the space for storage – inside the cabin and, of course, in the boot.
Fuel Efficiency
One of the big selling points about the Ertiga is its great fuel efficiency. The petrol engine, combined with the lightweight platform of Maruti, is such that you’re going to spend much less time at the fuel pump. This is a big plus for people covering long distances regularly.
Conclusion
The Maruti Ertiga has carved out its niche in the moderately competitive MPV segment. It offers a great combination of affordability, practicality, and fuel efficiency for either personal or business use. The Ertiga cannot be compared with the Innova in terms of premium feel, but it certainly is more practical and value for money. If you’re considering a flexible and affordable MPV, then consider the Ertiga as it definitely falls into that category.
