Pardon The Headline, But The New Ertiga Is Here, And There’s A Whole Lot To Look Forward To!

Let’s just cut straight to it — the new Ertiga is very good. It builds on an already successful platform, and Maruti’s done this thanks to some very well-thought improvements. Another thing to add here is that this isn’t just any ordinary facelift for the Ertiga; it’s a thorough improvement that goes beyond superficial changes (thank goodness for that).

For starters, the car now looks a lot better than it previously did. Its silhouette is more laid back than before, and the proportions seem a lot more in control. I quite like the way the head- and tail-lamps have been redone without going overboard. A fair few manufacturers seem to think that blowing up the grille to gargantuan proportions is the answer to the question: ‘What would make this car look better and burn an impression into everyone’s minds?’ The headlamps are projectors, while the tail-lamps have some interesting detailing. Unfortunately, you’ll only probably notice it when it’s dark. Moving on, the profile, too, is clutter free, and it’s all the better for it. I did, however, think that the 15-inchers that our test vehicle was shod with made the car look a little under-tyred, and I’m not gung-ho about the alloy design, either. That’s hardly saying that it looks bad in any way, though. Maybe 16-inchers would have made the car look a bit more rounded. And since this is the top-spec Ertiga we’re driving, it’s likely there’s no option to upsize, either.
