Exterior Cute and Decent look.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) People often compare with Innova. Before comparing one should understand that you are trying to compare apples and oranges. The engine in Ertiga is 1248 CC whereas in Innova it is 2500 CC which is simply double. Also there is a huge difference in terms of cost. By this it is very clearly evident that Ertiga is intended for the average middle class family who instead of going for a Sedan will go for MUV where you have the benefit of using the 3rd row as seat if needed or as a boot if not needed.
Innova's average mileage in the city is 10 KMPL whereas Eritga's average is 18 KMPL. So for much lesser price, with more mileage and cheap maintenance (at the end of the day it is maruti and swift engine) what more we require for a average indian middle class. This is the point why people are attracted to Ertiga. It is no doubt that Innova is an excellent car with no match against it. But for a average middle class who wants a car with more space and flexibility Innova will be too much. Instead of buying a sedan like Scala or Sunny, we are getting an MUV which is built on top of most successfull and reliable Swift Engine.
Also there were lot of apprehensions about the load pulling, power etc but I personally drove the vehicle with 7 adults and 2 kids for around 300+ kms and I felt that it is an absolute comfortable car with no complaints at all. With 2 AC's ON I could get an average of 18 KMPL and the driving is just like a extended car. What more you need?
Final Words It is just an extended car built on top of Swift Engine with cheap maintenance and good mileage. A true value for Money.
