The Maruti Ertiga is a seven seater compact MPV created by Japanese automobile manufacturer Suzuki. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is said to be the first LUV (Life Utility Vehicle). Unlike its competitors like the Toyota Innova, Chevrolet Tavera and Mahindra Xylo, this car is powered by a K-series 1.4 litre petrol engine. The production of The Maruti Ertiga proclaims to be from the R-III (R3) concept introduced by MSIL at the Indian Automobile Expo in 2010 in New Delhi. In addition, the name Ertiga comes from the word “Tiga" which means "three" in Indonesian while the R3 stands for the 3 rows. Therefore "Suzuki Ertiga" could be literally translated to mean "Swift with Three Rows."
Maruti Ertiga is a proper seven-seater with fold-able rear seats to increase the boot space. Maruti Ertiga looks very handsome and proportionate and gives feel of a MPV with its mono space design. The truth is that the Maruti Ertiga is challenging the already existing car brands in the segment just by looks alone. When it comes to style, the Ertiga exteriors are inspired from The Ritz hatchback especially on the front bumper with a grille that looks like a slot and a bellying bonnet. You can locate the Suzuki emblem on the slot-like radiator grille. Unlike the Ritz, the chin part of the Ertiga is much wider and bulky. It also has a huge air inlet complementing a MPV look with bulky headlights sweeping sidewards. The size and dimensions of the Ertiga are smaller in length compared with the Innova and the Xylo. It also has an elongated wheelbase with a higher roof that provides a good head room. The quarter glass allows the last row passengers to view the outside with tinted windows and windscreen.
The alloy wheels and wheel cover without a doubt further enhances the luxurious looks of the Ertiga. It features tiny tail-lamps with a non-spacious boot that has been designed with cost rather than practicality in mind. The lengthy look of Ertiga is visible with its elongated 2740mm wheelbase and the extra third row of seats. The lengthy appearance is what defines this vehicle as a LUV and thereby have not qualified to benefit the duty of small cars. The balance between the attention to detail of its MPV look and the Ritz inspired exteriors on this LUV are without a doubt quite impressive.
