The new Ertiga wears a relatively premium look. Of more interest to typical buyers, however, is the cabin which scores really well on space with fair seating even for the third row of passengers. Sliding middle-row seats and folding third-row seats also add flexibility to the cabin. The Ertiga’s city-friendly dimensions and light controls make it easy to drive; and the MPV also feels planted at high speeds. Long-distance drivers will be drawn to the 95hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine that offers reasonable performance, is pleasantly refined and incredibly efficient. As for the 105hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine, it is not punchy but gets the job done well enough. The petrol’s 5-speed manual gearbox is fine while the 4-speed torque converter automatic adds more convenience to the mix. All versions get mild-hybrid tech that aids fuel economy.
