Great car

Exterior 

Looks like a oversized car. Oversized car is what it is rather than truck (innova and others in this category). Head lights are great, standard indicator lamps on side mirrors is very good. Grill on the front makes it look strong car.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Front rows are very comfortable in ZXI model, in VXI, there is no center arm rest and after market arm rest is recommended to fill this deficiency. Second row seating is the best, recliner as well as slider makes it so comfortable for long journeys. Third row is apt for mid size people. For taller people, middle row needs to be carefully adjusted to ensure everyone gets sufficient legroom. For long journeys, it will be good to install carrier.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Gearbox is very smooth , engine has low noise and low road noise. Fuel economy for this sized car is great. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling

Handling was surprisingly very nice. This is due to cross over frame rather than chasis and body styling. Handles turns like car, you won't feel that you are driving 7 seater. Innova on the other hand is big MUV but handles like truck, you get pushed around and turning around corners makes you cringe at high speeds - not in ertiga.

 

Final Words

Well made car, handles great , right sized car. Its a winner. With price point of 9 lakh, you get value for money. 

Enjoyed every moment after purchasing the car.

Areas of improvement  

Engine needs to be more powerful than current 95 bhp. Auto transmission should be offered on this vehicle. 

 

cross over frame, fuel economy, comfortable seating, not too bighard seats, bit crampy for third row.
