Ertiga VDI SHVS First 1000 KM review

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I drove 1000 Km till now in and around Bangalore (rural), covered 400 Km on highways, remaining on village routes (single lanes), with 8 occupants no delay in engine response. SHVS is really boosting the mileage, I see the average of 21 in first 1000 KM  ( calculated between  auto cut- offs, filled 40lts after taking delivery from showroom ( auto-cut)and drove 668 and refilled 31Lts ( auto-cut). I feel it is good mileage and hoping it may increase after 5000KM.

Exterior Good looking Family Car (LUV).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors (beige color) are very tough maintain. Cleaning is a big. Challenge. Unfortunately no other option in color.

Ride Quality & Handling NA.

Final Words Value for money.

Areas of improvement Quality of parts can be improved (especially the door rubbers, hose pipes  in engine components looks so cheap.

As similar to other competitors, getting in to 3rd row of seats is not comfortable. But Maruthi tried to make seating in 3rd row is also convenient, with bottle holders, and A/C went from 2nd row covering 3rd row asweel.
