AMAZING CAR- MARUTI ERTIGA

The ERTIGA GETS all the MPV basics right. It has three rows of seats, can seat seven and it comes with a small, efficient diesel engine. Also its monocoque construction promises much in terms of car like comfort and driving manners. The cabin design is similar to the swifts which means quality is good and the small dimensions mean it will be easy to park and punt around town.

 Its mouth watering price of RS 8.45 Lakh makes it all the more desirable and combined with Maruti’s wide service network. It’s a package that’s hard to beat.

Performance

  

The Eritga is powered by a very small 1.3 liter diesel engine. It does make a healthy 89bhp though and this is the same engine that does duty in cars like the Linea, SX4AND MAZA.

The ERTIGA is based on the swift platform which means it has a car like monocoque construction. This makes the body more rigid and the low centre of gravity helps it corner well.  This gives the Ertiga car like driving dynamics and your can drive it quite briskly. The soft suspension means the low speed ride is plush and even ass speeds increase the Eertiga handles bumps with aplomb and feels solid. There is a bit of up and down motion over undulating surfaces but it never gets uncomfortable.  The Ertigas suspension work’s silently too and it’s just over sharp bumps that thereis a mild thud from the suspension.

The steering offers good feedback and is light enough at city speeds. Manoeuvrability too is terrific and this is one of the USPs of the Ertiga. Despite the soft setup, body controlled and once you get used to the Ertiga size. It gives you the confidence to push it as much as you would a saloon.
