      Nice vehicle with great value for money. Good mileage and passenger-carrying capacity make it a good family car. The AC provides good coverage at the back, and the ground clearance is optimal.

      This car is truly amazing—so good that I’m extremely happy with it! It’s very comfortable and reliable. Maruti Suzuki is a trusted brand, especially in Uttar Pradesh and many other states. It continues to be a top-selling company, and for good reason. Maruti Suzuki is simply the best.

      Overall, a good car. Not very comfortable while driving in hilly areas, and safety features are limited. Suitable for family use, and I can recommend it for that purpose only. Fuel consumption is excellent, making it an economical car.

      Comfortable to drive and perfect as a low-budget family car. Low maintenance as well. I love driving the Ertiga and would recommend it to every family, as it gives good mileage both in the city and on the highway.

      The car is in good condition! You may find others, but this one has been well cared for. If interested, you can text or call. It’s a petrol engine, 7-seater, and very comfortable.
