Kicks the Family Budget with 20.51 kmpl Mileage
Let the numbers do the storytelling. A claimed mileage of 20.51 kmpl for the petrol manual model keeps the purse at the pump happy. The automatic version does just a tick worse, at 20.3 kmpl. Plan a big summer vacation and the family wallet feels the mileage reward right at the high-way toll booths. Prefer the tried-and-tested route of CNG? The figures jump to an eye-popping 26.11 km/kg, making every kilometer streamed on a daily cab or a daily commute more profitable.
Even the feedback column agrees: chat with owners and they’ll tell you 20-25 kmpl is what the trip computer shows under mixed use. A grateful dad running a wedding travel cab echoes the vibe: “Petrol or CNG, the mileage promise is always kept.”
Space Done Smart!
When you step inside, the numbers get more inviting. At 4,395 mm long, 1,735 mm wide, and 1,690 mm high, the Ertiga is compact on the parking list yet smart with every centimeter. The third row is more than a seldom-used bench; Maruti designed the seats to pivot and the luggage floor to expand, so bags, prams, or bulk-purchase grocery sacks slide in without negotiation.
Unlike some rivals that squeeze adults into the last row and call it a seven-seater, the Ertiga proves you can actually road-trip without folding your knees. The back row has decent knee room for the grown-ups, so the whole gang can share the same ride without the usual sibling squabbles.
With the seats all in use, the boot holds a respectable 209 liters—enough for a couple of weekend bags—yet flips into a cavernous 803 liters the second you fold the third row. That’s why extended families love it: a holiday road trip today, a fridge haul tomorrow, and it still fits in the same parking spot.
Smooth Driving for the Daily Grind
Beneath the hood, the 1.5-liter K15C petrol engine serves up 103 bhp and 137 Nm of torque—just what you need for shuttle service. Owners rave about how silky it is; one said, “You can’t hear the motor even when the RPM’s up.” Now that’s the kind of hush we all appreciate in the school-drop-in rush.
Choose between a 5-speed manual that clicks crisply and a 6-speed auto that swaps gears for you, complete with paddle shifters for the show-off in you. The auto box is the star in city crawl, letting you sip coffee while the Ertiga does all the clutch drama.
Cabin Crafted for Relaxed Journeys!
Step inside, and the Ertiga says “Welcome, stay a while.” Rear AC vents blow a nice chill to all three rows, so the last row isn’t still sweating out that auntie’s “just one more coconut” trip.
The SmartPlay Pro infotainment system on the big touchscreen keeps everyone entertained and connected on the go. In the middle row, just one touch reclines or folds the seats so you can hop straight to the rear row without a hassle.
Many drivers rave about the long-distance comfort of the seats. A guest sums it up nicely: “It’s a terrific ride; 7 of us fit perfectly.” That’s the real talent of this MPV—keeping the whole family happy.
What Makes This MPV a Family Financial Friend!
What truly separates the Ertiga from others is its blend of smart price and even smarter utility. You get the flexibility of 7 seats plus frugal diesel or petrol use, all without the sky-high sticker joke other big cars carry. A satisfied owner puts it simply: “Though the family can stretch for an Innova, this smart buy offers lower bills, smoother drive, and mileage that keeps arriving months later.”
Families across India looking for a 7-seater that won’t stretch the budget or the patience can still count on the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga to show up in 2025, deliver savings at the pump, grow mileage promises, and keep its value in the real, daily routes of family life.
