My Experience With Ertiga Petrol

My Experience With Ertiga Petrol

I own a 2019 Ertiga ZXI Petrol. My buying experience with this Ertiga has been really great. I believe it's hard to find a better family car with such good seating capacity at this price range. When it comes to the driving experience, the seating posture is perfectly comfortable, especially the driver's seat. It gives a feeling similar to a normal sedan, not something big and heavy. Driving it at speeds of 100 to 120 kmph is easy, without any vibrations or shaking. The overall ride is smooth. The pickup is good considering its 1.5-liter engine. I've driven this car with 5 to 7 people as well as alone, and power has never been an issue except when the car is fully loaded on hilly roads. In my opinion, the car looks pretty good and sporty due to its wide and low body. This design also minimizes body roll at high speeds. The co-driver seat is just as comfortable as the driver's, and the middle seat provides good thigh support and space. The only small issue is the 3rd row, which isn't very wide. However, for short trips, 2 people can comfortably travel there. Speaking of the AC, Ertiga offers the best air conditioning in its price range. It cools the entire cabin in just 5 to 6 minutes. It takes a bit longer to cool the middle row due to its size. Regarding service and maintenance, it's similar to other cars. If we talk about petrol and insurance costs, you'd have to spend around 25K (assuming no damages). The rest depends on how well you maintain your car. Now, moving to the downsides: It lacks safety; the car's body doesn't feel very tough and solid.
It's missing many features like a smart display and heating.
The car sits a bit low, so it feels close to the roof.
The 3rd row isn't very wide, making it uncomfortable for tall people.
