Maruti Suzuki Ertiga 2018– car dimensions: 4395 mm long, 1735 mm wide and 1690 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,150 kg. Braked towing is 1,000 kg.
Higher grades get a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (wireless on top trim). Automatic climate control and rear AC vents appear on mid-to-top grades. Cruise control is limited to upper trims. Rear parking sensors are standard. A reversing camera is fitted on higher grades only. No AEB, blind-spot warning or lane-keep systems are offered. The cabin seats seven with flexible second and third rows, dual-tone trim and multiple power sockets for family trips.
Boot holds 209 litres with all three rows in place. Folding the third row frees 550 litres. Dropping the second and third rows expands space to 803 litres. A split luggage board adds underfloor storage and a tall, wide tailgate opening eases loading.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1000 kg on published market specs. Gross vehicle weight sits around 1720-1820 kg against kerb weights of 1130-1255 kg depending on market and powertrain. The standard MacPherson front and torsion-beam rear suspension suit people-carrying and light loads rather than heavy work.
The cabin feels roomy and airy with dual-tone finishes, large windows and flexible 60:40 second-row plus 50:50 third-row seats that slide, recline and fold flat. Roof-mounted AC with three-stage control reaches the rear, while air-cooled twin cupholders keep drinks chilled. Manual height-adjust driver seat and centre armrests support long trips without power or heating options.
