Pros : mileage
Cons : price,
i had test driven ertiga diesel out of sheer anxienty it had created all these days and at first sight i lost the interest in the vehicle as the looks from exterior it resembles (replica) ritz and this very look makes one disappointed and while hearing the price for the top model to be any where between 10.5 lacs i had to laugh and one should be insane to pay this price for this vehicle . maruti you have disappointed and it is worst the wait Look and Style poor Comfort ok, but lacks luggage space Pickup good Mileage ok as per spec Best Features nothing spectacular Needs to improve on pricing and boot space Overall Experience not satisfied
Mr. Uday the above copmment is totally right...i mean if a buyer paying more than 10lack why shud he go with this ertiga car...see the car its just looking like a swift....even i shud say swift is better than ertiga.. so @10lac i am not satisfied with this vehicle at all...
Rohit for ur kind information the price of top model diesel cost 9.54 lakhs on road in delhi and top model has all the safety feature,so according to me price is almost fine. I bought this car yesterday (Ertiga ZDI) will give my feedback about ride quality and mileage soon..!
Dear Mr.Uttam congrats to uuuuuuuuuu.I have booked Ertiga ZDI .Can you please tell me about the pick up of this car when seven people sit inside. and also tell me about milage and your experience .if possible send me some pictures. becoz am in abu dhabi .
7 people in ERTIGA 2nd row people will feel uncomfort its not much wider than Xylo or innova For 6 people the car is good pick up is good AC is also good if you booked ZDi its ok but you go for LDI which is good for money you can put central locking from outside good and put silver Vcool of RS 25000 you will get best instant cooling Now a days people like LCD screen instead of system you can put that in LDI you can put reverse camera wich will be more better than ZDI only power windows will not be there
hi I want to buy zdi ertiga, but waiting is very long, in delhi its in live stock ?and if i can buy from any other state then can i take service any service station?
May I request you to give the news on mileage in city and highway conditions. An honest feedback shall be of great help. HS Anand
Ertiaga ... finally lost the intrest. Gentleman said the cost of the vehicle is too high .. i totally agree. I have opinion that i put 1 more lac for the XUV / Scorpio which has got the powerfull engine and rugged power.. look is stunning. Ertiga..1.3 ltr.. hope this vehicle will not ask to empty the vehicle on the slope (ghat)area.. i feared... sorry ertiga...Wish you all the best
Agree. XUV is costing 11 - 12 lacs and has higher engine capacity (1450 cc). Ertigo has 135BHP v/s XUV has 200 . this means you can drive at 140 - 160 with good control over vehicle. Ertigo is good as it has same engine like Dezire - price should be less then 8 lacs for top model in Diesel. I have decided to wait for XUV500 or similar model. If it takes time then Scorpio is good
Brand new ERTIGA will give you around 13kmpl diesel worst depends on drive you should have patience while driving no speedy on highway You should drive the vehicle at the speed of 60 kmph on highway in city you should be in 1 or 2 gear properly dont drive car on 3 or 4 in low speed this cause loose of pickup and nuts bolts gets loose after 10000 kilometers if you drive on 120kmph your dash board vibrate Important for NEW CARS BUYERS:- REALLY IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOU MILEAGE RUN YOUR CAR ON HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED OF 60 KMPH BEHIND THE BUS OR TRUCK THIS WAT UR MILEAGE IMPROVES BCAUSE WHEN YOU DRIVE AT 60 KMPH YOU PUSH AIR OF 25% WAT YOU DRIVE SO IF YOU RUN UR CAR FOR BETTER MILEAGE THIS IS HOW YOU GET MORE MILEAGE
Thanks Pawan for your useful tips. Improving mileage by driving within speed limits and knowing when to change gears are very basic things to know which unfortunately some very experienced car drivers are also ignorant of. Many car drivers do not try to understand the finer points of car driving. These ignorant and reckless drivers not only misuse their cars but put their own lives in danger as well as those of other road users and innocent pedestrians. Driving within speed limits results in saving of fuel, saving your car from avoidable wear and tear, and of course, saving yourself and others from accidents.
YEA HERE PEOPLE ON MUMBAI PUNE EXPRESS HIGHWAY YOU JUST PARK YOUR CAR FOR 10 MINS ON LONG STRETCH YOU WILL SEE THAT PEOPLE WANTS TO FLY THEIR CAR ONCE PEOPLE SEE BIG HIGHWAY THEN THEY DONT UNDERSTAND AFTER A SPEED OF 100 CONTINUES ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TO THIER CAR BIG LOSS TO ENGINE AFTER 2 YRS THEIR ENGINE NOISE GETS INCREASE THEN FUEL ECONOMY GOES DOWN THEIR TYRES GETS SPOIL IN 20000KM ALL BRAKE LINERS SPECIALLY FOR MARUTI FRONT BRAKE PADS DRIVE SLOW FOR YOU FOR OTHERS TO KEEP YOU AND OTHERS LIFE HAPPPY
Hi ! I want to remove all the doubts that exists in the minds of people about Ertiga . I own a Ertiga Diesel -ZDi since April . I was one of the the first customers to receive the car in Chennai . I am just amazed at the performance of the vehicle . I have done around 300 Kms so far including 3 highway long hauls . Let me tell you ... A ll the guys in Ventos/Innovas , Fiestas , Manzas and Vernas etc are amazed by the performance of this vehicle on the highway. I stopped by at a BPCL Bunk on one of the national highways , after by passing all the above type of cars and after giving the throttle a spirited pump for a short while ( It touched a 160 KMPH so efforlessly) .Believe me , I am a regular highway mile cruncher and I fing the stability , ability to pull 5 adults with luggage equal to 3 more adults with ease , is phenomenal in the Ertiga. The engine is really smooth at top speeds and the breaking with BS is bang on target. The AC , actually chills after a while , even when the outside temperature was around 39 degrees in south Tamilnadu , when we did that strech of long haul. The average mileage you get is around 17.5 Kms to a liter of Diesel, when you do about say 95-100 kms per hour Speed. Which is really great compared to the 10's and 10.5 's that you get from other cares like Innova ,which is a critical criteria when you are deciding on a family car. Ertiga scores very well , when you have a family of say 6 people . Ofcourse , If you are 5 guys , then with the third row folded , we have very good luggage space. Now thats a winner all the way . Innova has a superflous extra length of a quaretr foot , which makes it an irritant to other cars in parking spaces . Its also plain Jane design , when compared to a much better and easthetically oriented design like Ertiga , as acknowledged by all Auto car reviewers of repute in India . Innova guys with the 2000 plus CC Engines just are unable to match the performance of Ertiga on the highways. I am so glad that I selected the Ertiga. Maruti badge is also a kind of Hallmark symbol for all of us . So folks all that I would say is , just go ahead and book your Ertiga's . It is a swiss army knife of a car from Maruti and dont listen to silly and unnaturally critical guys , who are arm chair reviwers.Ertiga has shook the gut out of all the competitors and this I say as a customer of Maruti for a couple of decades and that is a fact. Ignore the doubting Thomas's , who couild also be envious competitive car makers stooges . Ertiga is a winner all the way and that has reflected in India Incs booking fiugures of the Car in just 2 weeks of its launch . Long live Maruti , the respected and reliable badge from India.
Thanks Rajan. Very objective analysis.
Yes Rajan , What you have written is absolutely true as I bought my Ertiga ZDI on the 13th April 2012 , I was also one of the first buyers in North Bengal . I live in Darjeeling and I have had no reason to complain as I drive in the hills most of the time and I have clocked about 1300kms and the overall perfomance is very satisfactory and yes being a Maruti Suzuki is an added advantage , so I suggest all the doubting thomas's who have not driven the Ertiga should should first drive the Vehicle over a period of time and them comment. Cheers
Thank you, Rajan, for your first hand User Review of the Maruti-Suzuki Ertiga ZDi. You are perfectly right when you say that the critics of the Ertiga are all armchair critics who have not seen or experienced the Ertiga themselves. Your comments, coming from an actual owner's experience have laid all their baseless criticism to rest and placed the facts before the world. Now potential car buyers who are in two minds about buying the Ertiga (after being influenced by negative comments), will now be able to take a decision on buying the Ertiga diesel after reading your comments. Well done, and best wishes.
Nice car, but since it is smaller than innova and xylo in terms of dimensions and engine size, the price should have been 7 lacs at max.
hi rajan can you please tell will it be goog in rough road condition. if the road condition is not good will this car will ask forr maintainence as compare to BOLERO of mahindra. i am confused which one to buy either ertiga or Bolero. which one will you advice. the road in my place is not well.
Thanks for your detail views which is very helpful, when people are in a dilemma to choose from different vehicles. After seeing your detailed review, I booked one got one.. As mentioned by you, I really enjoy the drive. I went to Tirupathi in a very normal speed of 70 kms, there was no engine sound at all. breaking is really fantastic ABS system works so well in Ertiga. I fixed one arm rest in the driver's seat row. Especially on long drive where you need not shift gears much, it is really very helpful. Probably Maruti can look at the extra comfort fitting. This is there in Innova along with the vehicle. But very uncomfortable. I am very much satisfied with the vehicle really. It was my son's choice apparently after going through several reviews and physical verification to the nearest show room (Cars India). My family with my lovely Pet son (doggy) we enjoy long drives with great comfort. Long live Maruti....
Yes,true to every bit. I too purchased an ldi Ertiga 3 years back. No regrets .It moves like a PASSWORD PROBLEMS: WINDOWS: Please ente bird on highways. But onr e should make use the potentiality of the rpm in gears. - prasad Bangalore
Hi Uttam: Congratulations to you for getting the car. Any update on your experience and performance
Dear Mr Uttam, am really looking forward to go for ertiga deisel,just in a dliemma about its performance with sucha small engine,as uve already purchased n are using it,,kindly share ur views n driving experience .thankyou !
hello mr.uttam, i was just looking for some user reviews. as we are planning replace our maruthi versa for ertiga diesel kindly give your feedback about your actual driving experience. regards shamanth.
hi uttam....wat is ur experience now after using the ertiga for more than two months.me too has booked the same model . pl advise arvind
The price of Ertiga ZDI is 910,000 (On Road Price)
I completely agree to the coments of thanikachalam. this vehicle is not recomendable. As it doesnt has space, pickup or drive pleaseure.
My dear u r wrong. I have test drive this twice. Engine is roaring while taking pickup. Last row is like last row in RTC bus. Seats quality is not good. Try to get down from last row , u will really feel the lack of proper design. Maruti have spoiled the design of good expected car. Overall low marking car.
I also have bad exp with my Ertiga VDI, after first service m ycar engine got engine start problem if my parking lights are on for 10 mins, battery is completely discharging and some one has to pull the car to start. Working with the showrooms guys to fix the problem and really disappointed with this :(
ertiga diesel
nice car....
I had test drive of ertiga at panvel simran motors, since i have swift vdi, when i get inside ertiga the feeling was very different, ertiga is taller than swift and can see road very comfortably, handling was very smooth driving like a compact car, i drove with 3persons. I have no idea aboUt the mileage ,my swift vdi is giving 20/km on highways with a/c. i have booked ertiga vdi, i hope it will not disappoint me.....
hi while reading all this comments , i feel for a Indian family Ertiga is a good chooise, so i am going to have one today
Already booked ZDI . Let's see....
ERTIGA IS A GOOD MPV FOR A FAMILY OF 4 TO 5 PERSON I THINK THE THIRD ROW IS NOT GOOD FOR EVEN CHIDLREN SO MY SUGGESTION IF I BUY ONE I REMOVE THE THIRD ROW SEAT ONLY USE FOR LUGGUGE THERE IS LOT OF SPACE FOR THIS ANY ONE TELL ME ABOUT TOTAL WEIGHT OF CAR ABOUT ENGINE 1248 CC I ALL MODEL OF DIESEL BUT I READ SOME WHERE LDI MODEL HAVE 90BHP@4000RPM BUT VDI OR ZDI HAVE 95BHP@6000RPM IS IT CORRECT
7 people in ERTIGA 2nd row people will feel uncomfort its not much wider than Xylo or innova For 6 people the car is good pick up is good AC is also good if you booked ZDi its ok but you go for LDI which is good for money you can put central locking from outside good and put silver Vcool of RS 25000 you will get best instant cooling Now a days people like LCD screen instead of system you can put that in LDI you can put reverse camera wich will be more better than ZDI only power windows will not be there
No. There is no choice available in either Petrol or Diesel engines. There is only one engine each in Petrol and Diesel. The correct engine specifications for the Petrol & Diesel Ertiga are: Petrol: Engine type:K14B1373 cc VVT, Power:95ps@6000rpm, Torque:130nm@4000rpm & Fuel Efficiency:16.02 kmpl. Diesel Engine type:D13A 1248cc DDiS VGT, Power:90ps@4000rpm, Torque:200nm@1750rpm & Fuel Efficiency:20.77 kmpl. Hope the details are useful. T
Most of those people who give negative reviews about the ERTIGA have not owned one. I understand that they are more oriented towards performance. Don't just go by what people say, experience your self. My first advice, Never decide on a car by expert review or books, please touch,try & feel it for yourself. Let me tell you, I am the first one to own an ERTIGA Zdi in TRIVANDRUM,Kerala. So far I have clocked 650km including city & highway trips. Here are my honest views about ERTIGA- Exterior looks like a blend of SWIFT & RITZ. But I really don't like way it looks from the front.It is neither an MPV or an SUV, ERTIGA is a FAMILY UTILITY CAR.(I still don't buy to the nomenclature of MARUTI as LUV) Just 2 feet longer than the SWIFT, ERTIGA can easily accomodate 7adults with reasonable comfort, as the front & middle rows can be slided according to the comfort of the passengers seated. With 7 passengers,the car could easily cruise at 90km/hr at ease.There is a turbo lag which was evident in low revs but that fades off once you touch 1700rpm and above. The best acceleration is achieved above 2000rpm. Power delivery is smooth, body roll is minimal(despite a higher ground clearance & higher centre of gravity). Thanks to the tweaked suspension,even the 3rd row passengers are seated comfortably, without any back ache or body roll. The driver seat with height adjuster is really good & it gives a better riding position for 6footers like me. I could register an average of 17.10km/ltr in combined driving(city & high way). The best avg is delivered at a speed of 70km/hr in overdrive. You will realise the improvement in quality to a great degree(unlike previous MARUTI cars)- right from the quality of fan switch gear, seat belts(height adjustable),brakes work well with ABS & EBD & an ultra light steering wheel.An excellent stereo system that delivers good sound(less noise).Even the A/C is powerful enough to cool the entire cabin. The drawbacks are Lack of luggage space, difficulty in alighting from 3rd row for elders & lack of a touch screen system in Zdi. Overall it is a packaging miracle for MARUTI, which will allow an average extended Indian family to be together in a comfortable monocoque like this. Finally I feel that the pricing could have been better if they had only two variants Vdi for 8.40Lakhs & about 9lakhs(on the road) for Zdi.
Mr.Thankachan,there will be something wrong with you?
no of bookings in near future will reveal the success my dear pls wait and watch before conclusion and decide yourself that wrong is within you
Ertiga is a good car as compare to toyota innova.the milage of a ertiga in diesel is also good.
Ertiga is a good car as compare to toyota innova.the milage of a ertiga in diesel is also good.
as the maruti ertiga top model price is 10lacs its better to buy 2Ritz at 12lakhs. So think about it before buying maruti should reduce the rate of ertiga
I am Purchase this car ertiga vdi model good car as compare innova is Zerox same copy and good look more space and fine drive
will not agree ... more space .. i'll put 1.5 lac more and have the xuv / scorpio ... more power and rugged feeling... all the best to all.
The quality of dash board in XYLO and xuv 500 not good people are complaning and after sales no good service parts not available XUV 500 once engine is down no one can open the engine its very compact only good mahindra service centre can repair people are selling cars in 2 months with RS 1 lac less the steering control system not good i went to test drive xuv 500 the quality not good buttons going wrong i trying to put the volume down it went up its all confusing voice control not working properly
my dad booked ertiga intead of innova.. Will c what will be the result.. Thanikacharan thankyu for the comments..!!

You are mistaken the price you have quoted is very high it is not 10.5 highest model in desile zdi is costing Rs 862772 ex showroom Pls correct yourself
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DRIVE WITHOUT REGISTRATION INSURANCE AND ROAD TAX
hello uttam, nice to know you have purchased ertiga diesel.even we want to go in for one but a bit confused between diesel and petrol.please get back with your practical experience.
more confused after reading all the reviews. Feel like hammering my head . prakash.bangalore
Hello All, I am planning to buy Eartiga Vdi, can some one suggests me if it is good or not. I am looking for performance of the car. I test drive the car and felt like i am driving Swift VDi. Please share your comments
Basav, I'm driving ertiga Vdi from May 10th and clocked 4500 km till now. If you are looking this car for family purpose go for it. If you look a car with SUV/Sports car in mind, this is not the right car. Overall Ertiga is a good car and Value for money. Best Regards.
Hi, got my Brick red VDI one week back in Gurgaon. The waiting period was 12 weeks but got it in 5 weeks and the dealer Apra Auto were very helpful in the speedy delivery. Have driven 500km and it has been a sheer pleasure. Ertiga has the driving pleasure of a sedan with the space of a MUV. The pickup up is superb, managed to outspeed the likes of Scorpio, Innova, Xylo, XUV on the highway and that too with a load of 5 adults and 3 kids (age 8-14). The drive was comfortable for all. The AC was chiling even at outside temp of 43 degrees. In Gurgaon the on road price was 8.67 lacs which I feel is value for money looking to the flexibility of the vehicle in terms of seating- u can have combinations for seating 2, 4, 5 7-8 and luggage space. Agreed with all three rows seating not much luggage space, but then which vehicle is offering luggage space with seating for 7 people - NONE. Have to test the power in the hills now. Only concern is the mileage since I got just 10km/ltr on first tankful. Maybe I have been used to driving petrol vehicles so need to adapt myself to driving a diesel vehicle and also too much idling with the AC on in the sweltering heat. But YES I am happy to driving my ERTIGA.
hi vivek maybe you show car to ur dealer in first service. sometimes rpm setting can be issue for mileage. i have got 14kmpl in city and 19kmpl in highway. i own a zdi
i am plan to next month byeing new Ertiga but some pepole are advaiced to me ertiga is not revalue this is correct pl. advaice me.
i am planning to buy ertiga vdi. presently i own alto lx, when i went for servicing of alto i met an ertiga customer .he suggested me not to go for this as it roars while going uphill with 5 adults inside.he also suggested there is no space for luggage if u travel with 5 adults and 2-3 kids as last row will be occupied by kids. If u put a stand on the roof it gives a taxi feeling. Please suggest,
But this car is lack of leather seats
I have 700 km journey /month. Ertiga Diesel or Petrol is best
i am plan to next month byeing new Ertiga but some pepole are advaiced to me ertiga is not revalue this is correct pl. advaice me.
Ertiga ldi ,,,,planning to buy on d eve of dhanteras ,,,,waiting for festive offers....will come or not ...?
We are planning to buy Ertiga on this diwali.Hope it will fulfill our needs.
I have gone through all the reviews. Trust me its very hard to find which comment is really genuene and which is fake...but yes its fact whenvever u see the review of any vehicle u will c 50 to 60% negative comments..so I am going for it because i love maruti cars. i had alto lxi 2002 model still giving 15 km/hr average ..it totally depends as how u maintain and drive ur vehicle..treat ur vehicle like your family member it will last long with u without any complaint...So ertiga here i come

Completely surprised to read your comments. You must be the only person to talk negatively about the Ertiga. But one thing is certain. If you cannot be pleased with the Ertiga, you cannot be pleased with any vehicle on earth!
