Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Carens
- Multiple engine options: Petrol, diesel and CNG
- Covers all basics: 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, steering mounted controls, power windows, and day/night IRVM
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- Comfortable 7-seater family car with usable space and practicality in all rows.
- Ride quality is comfortable over imperfections and regular speedbreakers.
- Available with a CNG: barely any difference in performance within city limits.

Kia Carens
- No automatic transmission
- Higher variants have been discontinued due to new Carens Clavis
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- No diesel engine options: would’ve been great for efficient highway runs.
- Boot space: Strictly limited to a couple of mid-sized suitcases with all three rows up.
- No tumble and fold function for the second row: would’ve made third row ingress-egress easier.
