According to our analysis, the one-below-top ZXi variant of the Ertiga offers the best value for money.

It also gets push button engine start/stop, Arkamys tuned 6-speaker sound system, and automatic headlights.

How spacious is the Maruti Ertiga?

The Ertiga offers a comfortable seating for two and even three people, considering that there’s no headrest for middle passengers in the second-row. While the seat base is flat, the back rest for the middle passenger protrudes a bit due to the presence of the armrest. As a result, the passenger who’s seated in-between will feel a bit uncomfortable during long drives. Talking about the third-row, the ingress and egress isn’t convenient, but once you're settled, it feels usable and comfortable. However, the thigh support in the last row is compromised.
