      The car is good and comfortable, with decent mileage and a smooth driving experience. However, the safety features were not fully satisfactory for my needs. I am selling this car because I no longer require a 7-seater and am looking for a 5-seater suitable for my family. Overall, it is a well-maintained vehicle and deserves a good price.

      The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is the best seven-seater car. Its design and look are truly impressive. It is perfect for family use, whether for daily drives or long tours. I especially love the white color—it looks excellent. Thanks to Suzuki for such a wonderful car.
