Most of us belong to families that have owned Maruti cars at some point of time. And, why not? Maruti Suzuki is an extremely popular brand in India, having created a niche for itself in budget vehicles. The Ciaz, Ertiga, Wagon R, Alto K10, Swift, Celerio, Swift Dzire, Baleno and Baleno RS, Omni, Alto 800, Eeco, Ignis and S-Cross are some of its best sellers.
Maruti Suzuki has been driving the Indian passenger vehicle market single-handedly for many years now. As of July 2018, it had more than 50% market share of the Indian passenger car market. In October 2018, there was only a slight decline in market share to 48.4% due to increased competition, says an article by The Economic Times.
About Maruti Ertiga
Maruti Ertiga is a popular car in India. New Maruti Ertiga features a powerful engine, exciting colours, amazing safety features and spectacular interior and exterior design. The design of this vehicle feels fresh and futuristic. With its mesmerising look, it wouldn’t be odd to call Maruti Ertiga a photographer’s delight. In comparison with the current model, the new 2019 Maruti Ertiga is long and wide.
The new vehicle will be powered by a K15 petrol engine, available on two variants. The petrol engine will have “Progressive Smart Hybrid Technology,” which improves power and torque for a great driving experience. The automatic variant delivers mileage of 18.69 Km/l, while the manual variant offers mileage of 19.34Km/l (petrol) and 25.47 km/l (diesel).
Exterior
Maruti Ertiga exudes a bold personality that is meant to standout. Every contour of this vehicle is created with precision. The 2019 Ertiga is larger than its predecessor, with flexed bonnet lines, chiselled bumpers, chrome studded grille and LED tail lights. The company has kept the wheelbase the same at 2740 mm. However, it is 40mm wide, 99mm long and 5 mm long. Halogen lights are used as standard projector headlights and not LEDs, unlike the Swift, Dzire, Ignis, Ciaz or S-Cross.
Interiors
Maruti Ertiga is a family car with seating capacity of seven. Offering a good 209 litres of boot space, the luggage space is flexible, since it can be expanded to 803 litres by folding the second and third row seats. All the rows in the Ertiga are reclinable, even in the third row. Only leaving the second row’s middle passenger seat, every row also has adjustable headrests.
For the steering wheel, the company seems to have taken inspiration from the Ciaz and Dzire. The dashboard features a wooden finish, which gives it a classy look. Inside the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, you’ll find a TFT multi-information colour display to keep the driver updated with vital information, such as fuel consumption, power and torque, gear shift and ideal stop time and more.
For passenger safety, Ertiga features a solid Heartech platform, ABS and BBD, dual airbags, Hill hold technology and electronic stability program.
